SO BIG!

Image This Sunday was this handsome dudes first day in Primary. He was so excited while getting ready for church. We think he is the cutest new Sunbeam!
Image Kya and Crew fed Taft his first taste of food. It was so exciting. He seemed to like it at first and then gagged a bit. Yummy, but hard to swallow apparantly!

Kissable

ImageHere's what I got to wake up to this morning. It's hard to not just kiss on that sweet face but it would wake him up. When Tom is home in the mornings on the weekends he does not resist and does kiss him which eventually wakes him up. I love to watch our babies sleep. I remember when I first had Conor and he was such a terrible sleeper and I would feel desperate for sleep and desperate for him to not sleep with us. I would roll over in the morning and look at his sweet face and think, oh yeah thats why I do this, it is so worth it! None of our other kids have slept with us and have been amazing sleepers but occasionally after an early morning feeding I'll keep them in bed with us because it is such a sweet time. How will I ever want to be done doing this. I wish I had tons of energy(like Crew) and could stay young forever so I could always have a sweet little baby to wake up to in the morning.

Halloween 2011

My alien,witch,Buzz Lightyear($1.00 at a yard sale this summer! the costume, not the kid) and baby monkey had lots of fun at school parties, ward party, friend party and hip hop dance class party. We were busy little trick or treaters this year. So much fun!

Our little monkey is a thumb sucker. We think it's so cute!

Image
Image At our ward party Conor and Crew did the donut from a string contest. It was so funny! Crew could not get a bite. Not from lack of trying! Eventually I held the string for him so the poor kid could finally get a bite but not before getting some cute pics of his efforts.

Image We look forward to our halloween ward party every year it is always tons of fun. This year we had a chili cookoff and cinnamon rolls, games and then a trunk or treat. We have tons of kids in our ward so the parties are always a blast.
Image
Image Tom and I took turns taking the kids trick or treating and handing out candy at our house. We also all went together for a while. Tom was embarrassed to take the baby up to the doors for candy, but I was not.(also I am not embarrassed that I am only wearing one earring.) p.s. I should not have shared Tafts candy with Tom.

Image We floated between classrooms again this year for Conor and Kya's Halloween parties. Luckily this year their classrooms are across the hall from each other.

Image Such a sweet big bro.

Tafter Woo

We call him our little"Tafter Woo". It's so funny sometimes when Crew refers to him as this in serious context. It sounds like we named him that. Anyway he will be 5 months old soon and this is one my favorite pics of him at 4 months. Thought I'd post it for our family to see how he's growing. He is super smiley. He even can't help himself and smiles when he's sad. It cracks us up. He is such a sweet guy we enjoy every second of him!

Bowling

Flashback to when I was pregnant with Taft. The kids all filled up their bean jars for chores, good behavior, peeing on the toilet and practicing piano. So to celebrate their awesomness we went bowling. I told Tom that I think people may have thought I was trying to smuggle a bowling ball under my shirt.
