Natalie on her bicycle

Here is a video of a new game Natalie invented one day while Daddy was cleaning out the garage. She just kept doing this over and over again. It was pretty funny! Make sure to turn the speakers on.

McCain/Palin Campaign Rally

My friend Sarah and I were lucky enough to go to the McCain/Palin campaign rally last week. They were at Green High School here in our little town of Uniontown, OH! We had a great time! Sarah's husband, Marc, found a picture of us in the crowd on the Yahoo News website. Here is that picture and a few pictures that I took during the rally.

Supporters, wearing red, white, and blue, sing the National Anthem before the arrival of Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and vice presidential candidate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to a rally of supports at the Green Memorial Field of Green High School in Uniontown, Ohio, Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2008.

The Pumpkin Patch

Here are some pictures of the kids at the pumpkin patch. We went to a new pumpkin patch this year. I think the kids had a really good time, despite it being very cold that day! The twins each picked out a pumpkin at the patch. Raegan fell asleep on the hay ride, so Brandon picked out her pumpkin for her once we got to the patch.

Virginia Beach Vacation

I promised pictures from our trip to Virginia Beach. Here they are.....finally!! :-)

Kids are notorious for proving us wrong aren't they...

After purposefully leaving peas for last, Raegan ate them up like they were the best thing she's tasted yet. She nearly licked out the container! Who would have thought! :-)

I know some of you are looking for pictures of our trip to Virginia Beach. I will try really hard to get those on ASAP. Check back soon!

Raegan's First Baby Food

A couple of weeks ago we started Raegan on baby food. Her first food was sweet potatoes. Since then she has also had carrots, squash and green beans. So far she seems to like everything we've given her. I've purposely left peas for last. Neither Natalie or Brandon would ever eat peas for me. After peas we will start on fruit. Here are pictures of her eating baby food for the first time.


Here is a video of her first bite.

Natalie Playing Dress Up

Natalie has really gotten into playing dress up lately. She loves to dress up (sometimes in strange combinations) and then have her picture taken so she can look at herself on camera. Here are some pictures.
Natalie as a princess. Notice the feather boa and the Minnie Mouse princess hat.

Raegan's 4 Month Check Up

Raegan had her 4 month check up early last week. She is now weighing in at 17.5 lbs and is 25 inches long. The doctor said she was doing great and is very strong for her age. She has absolutely no trouble holding her head up or even putting all of her weight on her legs. She loves to sit in her exersaucer and her jumper and play. Right now she's got a cold, but I think she's on the mend and is getting some rest (which wasn't the case two days ago). Here are a couple of recent pictures.
Raegan with her new favorite Tigger toy. Thanks Uncle Marc!


Raegan and her cousin Keira (my cousin Zettie's daughter). We were able to visit with them while we were in Virginia Beach.

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Grandma!

We Love You!
