Halloween 2011

Me and the kids went up to Roy a few days before Halloween. There were so many activites to do. We went to a junior high parking lot in South Ogden and trunk or treated, then went to 2 old folks homes and got candy. By the time that was done the candy bags were full. On Halloween we went to Heathers street for the annual trunk or treat and chilli/sloppy joe dinner. It was nice weather so it was a lot of fun. We ate and then the kids got more candy. London loved it and got the concept of trick or treating. She would say "Trick or Treat" and then "Thank you". Teagan didnt fully grasp the concept. He wanted to take all the candy out of the peoples bowls. London always knew to only take one. For the family Halloween party we carved pumpkins and played games and ate a fabulous dinner. I love spending time with family. We always have so much fun!!

Grandmas bed...or should i say Grandmas jungle gym

The kids love to play on Grandma and Grandpa Taylors bed. Here are some silly pictures of them playing with their cousin Jayden.

Sing a song!!

London is our little singer. She LOVES to sing. I mean loves. She doesnt just sing once in a while. She sings about everything she is doing all day long. She will be playing with a toy and sing about that toy. She is so creative when it comes to making up songs. Whenever we drive in the car she asks me and daddy to sing with her. Some of her favorite songs to sing with us are:
Itsy Bitsy Spider
ABC's
Wheels on the Bus
Popcorn Popping
And Daddys song (Frara shaka)

Toy box

We were at Grandma and Granpa Taylors house for Halloween weekend and the kids decided they wanted to be a toy and sit in the toy box. So cute.

Fun saying...

I love the time when kids say the cutest things....

Teagan calls pumpkins "Gobbies". He LOVES pumpkins.

London was in her room sitting on her chair at her little table and Derek asked London what she was doing. She said "waiting for buddy" (Teagan had just gone down for a nap). She sat in her room and Derek fell asleep on the couch because he was tired from working overnights. He woke up an hour later and London was in her room playing with her play food. She loves her brother sooooo much. They are the best of friends.

CHEEZE!!!

Playing at Nana's

Teagan loves Jesse. He was laying with her on the fluffy pillow.

WHOA!! What is that? They were all so mesmerized on the show.

Daddy and the kids

London decided Daddy was a comfortable spot to lay and watch TV and of course Teagan couldnt be left out.

Watching West Wing on the computer with Daddy.

Getting ready for bed

At bedtime we watch a lullaby movie and read stories. Oh and of course have a glass full of chocolate milk.

Just chillin....

Wacky Weather

On my drive to work on day this is what i saw. It was beautiful. It is crazy how one day can be 80 degrees and then rain clouds the next on one side of the valley and sunny on the other side.

French nails

Me and Londo do our nails together. This time we decided to do french tips.

Movie time

I decided it would be fun to have a lazy movie afternoon. So one day after lunch when Derek was working I got a blanket and pillows and made a comfy spot on the floor in front of the TV. I put on the new Lion King and me and the kids layed there and watched it. It was so much fun. I will for sure do this more often.

Dereks new collection

Dereks new collection of Marvel figures. He will have a wall full by the time he is finished collecting.

Doggy!

Heather brought Deisel over one night that we were staying at moms house. At first the kids were nervous but they finally got used to him and LOVED him. London would chase him around the house. She just didnt like when he was licking her. Teagan would get down of Grandpas lap and look for Deisel but when he saw him he would fun and jump and Grandpas lap again. The lap was his safe zone.

Ummm I like her hair

This lady was sitting in front of me and Derek at Thriller (post to come later I am sure). I love the different colors of red and the different lengths. I wish I could get away with something this dramatic....

Almost Halloween

Daddy tried on all the fun masks on Teagan at Target. Teagan loved them. Only Derek would put these on a 2 year old little boy. Most people would put the cute little sweet characters on their kids..hahaha

STUCK

Teagan was playing in the craft room and decided to climb on the storage shelves. He realized he was stuck and started screaming. He is so silly :)

Having fun playing and goofing around...

They love playing trains in the playroom downstairs. They are actually pretty good about not destroying it. London is so small she will get in the little toy wheelbarrow and Teagan will pull her around the basement. They also love to play and snuggle with their big stuffed teddy bear.

October 8th, 2011

Tonight a miracle happened in our house!! I took London to the potty and let her sit there for a little while after she drank her chocolate milk. She kept tooting and laughed becuase she thought it was SO FUNNY! Her laughing made me laugh. Then all of a sudden i heard a Plop! I jumped up and saw a little peice of poo in the toilet!!!! She did it!!!! She pooped in the potty. We yelled at daddy to come see and then called grandma to let her know! It was an exciting moment. London did her first poop in the potty on October 8th at 8:50pm.

Wow the things that make us happy and smile!!!!
