Pumpkin Fun

I took the kids to the doctor last Monday - Ryan for 15 months and Taylor for 4-yr check ups. It was an interesting time! Ryan got 2 shots and Taylor got FIVE, plus the flu vaccine through the nose. I would rather give shots to a baby any day than to a 4-yr old...that was ROUGH! Overall, they did well. Here's their stats...

Ryan - 31 inches (25-50 %)
27 lbs (75-90%)

Taylor - 38 inches
38.5 lbs

Waiting on the doctor...


After the doctor, we went to eat at Chick Fil' A, then to the pumpkin patch. The kids LOVED the pumpkin patch! As usual, Ryan is all over the place, so it's harder to get a good picture of him!














We were in Lamesa last week, and the kids had on their halloween shirts. I couldn't miss an opportunity for more fall pictures!!








A few random pictures...This is how I found Taylor during rest time the other day. She was watching her movie while doing a headstand. It made me laugh!

Crazy hair day at school Friday...
It got quiet...I should have known! An entire box of kleenex!
Dustin and Taylor carved a pumpkin this weekend. Ryan didn't really care. He just loves the outdoors!

Fall 2010 Update

The last few weeks have flown by! I cannot believe it's October already!! With time "flying by", my kids seem to be growing like weeds! I measured Taylor back in July (marked and dated it on the wall) and recently felt like she'd really grown a lot since then. So, I measured her last week, and sure enough, she's grown almost an inch in 2 months! As usual, she continues to say things that are wise for her years. Here are some examples...

1 - She told me she was jumping for joy yesterday when we arrived at Pizza Inn
2 - She said "You arrived just in time," when I got out of the shower the other day.
3 - We were looking for Dustin's body wash in Walmart. I picked up a green bottle and she said, "Actually, I think he uses the blue one."
4 - I was talking to my mom on the phone about staying the night in a couple of weeks. I said that Taylor could sleep on the floor. Taylor put her hands on her hips, sighed (dramatically) and said, "I most certainly will not sleep on the floor!"
5 - She also recently asked me what "head over heels" and "exasperated" means.

She's very into learning new things these days. She loves her preschool workbooks, art projects, and learning her letters. She can almost sing the Books of the New Testament, she can say the Pledge of Allegiance and Texas Pledge, and knows the days of the week and colors of the rainbow. I love how excited she gets when she learns something new!

Onto Ryan...He finally got both top teeth in as of a couple weeks ago. It looks so cute when he smiles!! He is practically running. He has no fear of anything and climbs onto everything he can! I cannot believe we haven't made an E.R. trip yet (knocking on wood). He's so busy all the time and doesn't stop unless he's eating or sleeping...or watching Mickey Mouse. I've never seen a kid so glued to a t.v. show as he is to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! He dances and giggles while he watches! He still eats pretty much anything we'll feed him, which is great! He's sleeping wonderful...11 hours at night and 2 naps a day about 1 1/2 hours each. He doesn't say much of anything, but why would he when his sister talks for him and we give him whatever he "grunts" for. :-) He loves it when his daddy comes home. If we are outside, he races down the sidewalk with his arms outstretched. It melts my heart!

Pumpkin Patch

I had to take Taylor to the doctor Monday for her 3-year well check. Oh, my...talk about drama. The girl was freakin' out when they tried to take her weight and height. Agh!! We survived though. She weighs 33.5 lbs and is 37 1/2 inches. She's gone from 50% in height to 75% and from 65% in weight down to about 45%. So, she's taller and thinner. :-) She did have to get her Hep A vaccine and the flu mist in her nose. You would've thought they cut off her leg...my goodness! We went to play at Chrissy's afterwards and life was better, thanks to Gammy and Pa-Paw.

While in Lubbock, we stopped at the pumpkin patch for a few pictures. Taylor looks so hilarious holding Ryan! He's huge! I weighed him on my mom's scale and he's 17 lbs!!!! At 3 1/2 months! We're thinking he'll make a great noseguard someday. :-)

This is the pumpkin Taylor picked
Ryan's expression in this photo cracks me up!

Ryan thinks the pumpkins are funny


Happy Halloween
