6 Month Update

*UPDATE: Bonnie is now 15lbs 8 oz (31%), and 26.5 inches long (68%). She's looking good!!

Bonnie hit the six month mark and she is just so stinkin cute! I could just eat up those cheeks. I'm still so excited about her hair, it's starting to come in really thick now and is lightening up a bit. Her eyes appear to be hazel and she's just growing and improving those rolls in her legs. She always seams happy. She is very ticklish, tries to grab everything, gives me "I've missed you, now I neeeed you" smiles when I come home. Bonnie likes eating her feet but hates baby food. People love talking to her because she gives them such big smiles and makes them feel so good. It's one of her special talents. We all just love her so much.

Sick Bugs Sighted at our House

The past two weeks we've had some crazy cold/flu bugs at our house. I was KO with a duzzy for 2 days, then Dennis has had some crazy strain with a major sore throat and swollen gums. He went to the Dr who did a strep test which came back negative, but now he has cankers where they did the test. Weird right?? The kids have had some runny noses, but so far Bonnie has been the only safe one! Thank goodness for the benefits of nursing!!!

Halloween 2010

We didn't make it home in time for trick or treating so we did it in Fayette. It was a little wet and muddy, but the kids made out just fine. They love to dress up. Khora fell asleep on the drive home from Goblin Valley so the older kids headed out on their own. When she woke up Dennis went out with her. They came back cold and hungry and ready for bed.

Goblin Valley

This year we missed our annual pumpkin walk in Cache county, but instead we made a trip to Goblin Valley. I remember going when I was younger with my grandparents and some cousins. We thought it would be a lot of fun for the kids. It took us about 3 hours to get there. "Why does it take so long to get here?" But as soon as we made it there the kids were excited. "This is the best place ever!" We had fun playing around and climbing and running and everything. It was a lot bigger than I remember it being though. Dennis whistled and the kids knew to climb up on the golbins so we could see where they were. We all had a blast! Definitely a do over. Next time we want to spend more than 3 hours there, maybe some walkie talkies, GPS games etc.

Dress Up

Last night some friends had Dennis and I over for a Halloween party. It was so much fun, yummy food and cupcakes, lots of laughing, games and Wii. Dennis really got into his costume while mine was pretty easy. We went as an inmate and judge. Thanks so much for the fun time Williams!

Hayride

Monday we took the kids to the Red Barn's hay ride to the pumpkin patch. It's become quite the tradition. The weather was lovely! The kiddos had fun scouring the field for the perfect pumpkin and playing in the maze. Great time together.

Look-A-Like

How many times do I hear about how much Bonnie looks like Isaac? I think it’s the eyes. They both have my eyes. My grandma would call them smiley eyes. I've never particularly liked them since they tend to disappear when I smile, so it looks like my eyes are closed in most pictures, but it appears that this is what I have passed on to my children, well two of them at least.

Isaac loves it when I give her a little girl version of a Mohawk, like the one that Isaac wears himself sometimes. I have to admit that they are both very cute kids!
