Visiting Santa

We took Rayden to the mall to visit Santa. She was very excited and we thought she would get shy when she got up there, but she loved Santa Clause! When he asked her what she wanted for Christmas he did not expect to hear what came out of her mouth. She told him she wanted a pineapple....yup a pineapple! He laughed and asked her if she wanted any toys or dollies and she said yes, so now when you ask her what she wants for Christmas she says she wants a pineapple and dollies!! She is such a character!!

Fall Pictures

Ahhhh finally got Blogger to work for me! So these are some of Rayden's fall pictures that Tasha took for us. Tasha is the lady that used to take Rayden's pictures at WalMart and then at JCPenney. She is trying to start her own business and wanted to photograph Rayden for her portfolio, so we got all of these pictures for free....yay!! She did a great job and Rayden had a blast just playing in the leaves and in the park while she took her picture.

On the Playground

These are some of the pictures that Tasha took of Rayden playing on the playground. They turned out so cute as well.

33 Weeks

So a little over 33 weeks has passed now and we are looking at the final stretch in the pregnancy!! Parker is still doing wonderful! My doctor is having me have an ultrasound every week now so we get to see him alot! So far he has been gaining around a half a pound or more every week......already measuring around 4 1/2 pounds. Unless he stops growing so fast we don't think he will be a tiny 5 lb. 5 oz. baby like his sister was! So as of right now we think the date they are going to induce will be the 27th of December......can't wait!!

Caitlyn's Birthday Party

Caitlyn had her birthday party this weekend.... a big 5 years old!! Her party was at ABK where she does her gymnastics. All of the kids had a blast running around doing all of the gymnastics stuff. Rayden's favorites were the big trampoline and the bar! Rayden was so so tired afterwards from being so busy.

Silly Papa

So here is just a cute silly picture of my dad playing with Rayden! Papa will do just about anything for her......including wearing bunny ears! :)

Playdate with the Twins

My brother's friend Kenny came over from Klamath to visit and brought his twin girls over to play with Rayden. Rayden had a great time with Hannah (in blue) and Beonnca (in pink). The girls pulled all the toys out from the toy box, loved playing with the dinosaur and of course harrassing baby Jordan! Hopefully they will come play again soon!

Happy Halloween!!

Rayden sure had a blast this year on Halloween.....and no mishaps like last year!!! She dressed up as a cute purple Care Bear and liked to roar at everyone! We didn't know if she was going to be up to it since she has had a cold and wasn't feeling well, but she was all gungho! She did such a great job trick or treating and was so polite with everyone too! We were finishing up and she kept saying "Okay one more house, okay one more house!" We finally got home, and after we looked through all her candy she asked to go out again and start over! What a fun time!!

Pumpkin Time

So we were excited about carving the pumkins this year, figuring that Rayden would love it. Rayden wanted nothing to do with the pumpkins while they were being cleaned out.....she absolutely refused to touch them!! She said they were disgusting :) She did like to smell the pumpkins afterwards, enjoyed watching Jeff carve them and liked the looks of them afterwards when they were done. Maybe next year she will think that it is fun to help.....we'll see.

Our Little Flower

Rayden found an empty flower pot that we have had laying around and decided to pretend that she was a flower. She had fun climbing in it and then making it fall over. Amazing what little things can entertain a toddler!

Rayden and Jordan

I have been watching Jordan 3 days a week. Him and Rayden have become buddies!! She loves to play on the floor with him and of course she still loves holding him. Most of the time he likes all of this attention but sometimes it gets to be too much :)

Little Mommy

Rayden sure loves her baby dolls!! She loves to wrap them up in blankets, feed them, burp them, change them and walk around with them in a stroller. She puts them to bed and then tells us we need to be quiet because her baby is sleeping. What a big helper she is going to be when Parker arrives!
