Halloween 2009

This Halloween was pretty fun. The kids were not super into Trick or Treating but they played along. The weather was pretty good. The twins were chickens and they kept warm in their fuzzy costumes. Aspen was a Shabby Princess. She actually wore the headband for awhile. I had like four shirts on her to keep her warm. Next year I will try to be more creative and make costumes. I had a vision of what I wanted my pictures to look like, how they would smile and look at the camera and all that good stuff. I think it is the age but they didn't want to cooperate in the least. I couldn't get all three of them to look or smile to save my life so this is the best I could do.

Aspen is 9

I can't believe I am old enough to have a 9 year old. Aspen had a great birthday! She had a party in her homeroom class on Fri. and then her party on Sat. and then a party in her resource class on her real birthday on Mon. We are so glad she has so many nice friends. Thanks to everyone for making her special day or days fun.

Baby Blues

If you click on this picture it will blow it up and it looks much more dramatic.

The chase is on

Unfortunately I think this is going to be the story of their lives.

Lily's Haircut

I didn't show the pictures of her crying. She wasn't too happy once they sprayed the cold water on her head. I think the whole thing was a waste and I should have just done it myself except that I was worried I would make a huge mistake and have to take her anyway. Oh well, I get some really pineapple detangler that smells heavenly.

I'm a big kid now

These guys went from crawling to walking to running in a matter of weeks it seemed. They are big kids now. Lily can say all done, uh oh and has 16 teeth. Jude is into everything and has superhuman strength. They keep me on my toes.

Air Crew

It looks like these guys are ready to work on an air strip. We got these head phone things for Aspen so she can use them to block out noise when it gets too loud for her. We are also hoping if she learns to wear these she will begin to like wearing headphones for an MP3 player. Right now that freaks her out but she loves music so it would be great if she could get over her fear of having something over her ears. As you can tell she isn't too thrilled with these either but this was the first day. She has since worn them for 5 min. straight. That is improvement at least. The babies like them more that she does. Maybe that will motivate Aspen.
