Brynn 9 Month Pics

So I finally got Brynn's 9 month pictures taken.  First off I couldn't find an outfit I liked and then once I did the kids were all sick so it took me forever to get them taken!  But we were finally able to do them last week and they are absolutely adorable!  Here take a look!

Don’t let the 2 year old babysit

The other day I was trying to finish up some work on the computer and Brynn had woken up early from her nap.  So I asked Kason if he would go up and play with her in her room.  He said yeas so after a few minutes I went up to go get them.  I walked into the girls room and Kason wasn’t there playing with Brynn.  So I checked his room, my room and both bathrooms.  He wasn’t anywhere!  So I went back into the girls room and this is where I found him

 

He had climbed into Makenna’s bed and tucked him and his monkey in for a nap.  He was just so cute but no help to me or Brynn!

I need some help

Okay bloggers out there.  If anyone is reading my blog I have a question for you.  I tried to upload a post yesterday and it says I am out of storage so I have to purchase some more.  But it is $2.50 per month and I don't want to be paying for this every month.  I know its not a lot but I just don't want to have to pay to put up my posts with pictures.  Also I don't want to delete my stuff either.  So what has anyone done?  Do you pay each month? 

Next thing is I've also thought about printing them off somehow.  Has anyone done this or know how?  Weston wants me to make them into scrapbooks.  I've heard you can somehow although I don't feel like my blog is scrapbooky.  It is just basically a journal.  So does anyone have any suggestions on how to print it off or ideas on what to do?

I would really like any insights or opinions if you've done anything.

Thanks!

9 month stats

I took Brynn to the doctor yesterday for her 9 month check up and I was happily surprised that she didn't have to have any shots! So it was a very nice check up. She is doing great and she isn't behind developmentally at all although she's not crawling or anything yet. Oh well, that's for the better that she will just stay in one spot.  But here are her stats

Height:  26.75 in  17.08%
Weight: 16.58 lb   22.5%
Head:     16.5 in    7.43%

She just seems to stay on the smaller side especially when compared to her brother and sister.  Although she has got some pretty chubby cheeks that are so cute!  I will post some pictures as soon as I can get them taken.  Would you believe that all I need to do is buy an outfit but I just can't find anything I like!  I think I should just buy something so I can get the pictures taken.  Oh well, hopefully in the next week.

Wicked Halloween!

This year for Halloween Makenna gave out all of our assignments and we dressed up as characters from Wicked/The Wizard of Oz. She was Glinda, Kason was a flying monkey, Brynn was Dorthy, I was the mean witch (Elphaba) and Weston was the Scarecrow (Fiyero). But Weston wouldn't dress up so oh well. And Kason didn't like his wings. But it was to all dress up together. We had a very busy day that started with Makenna's parade at the school, then lunch with Shellie, running past my moms work and Weston's work. Then we headed to Main Street to do the trick or treating there. Finally when Weston got home for work we went all around the neighborhood then we stopped by his parents and my parents houses. It was really a busy day but fun. Here are some pics.

And his wings that didn't stay on except for the picture!

All of us minus my boyfriend Fiyero!  Maybe next year I'll get him to dress up!

Decorating Pumpkins

In the past we have always carved pumpkins but with the kids so little its just Weston and I doing all the hard work while they watch so this year I thought I would let them paint their pumpkins.  That way they got to have all the fun and I got to watch!  And I think they did have fun.  Here are some pictures of their cute pumpkins!

Cute family night activity!

The fun part was when we got out the finger paint!

 

Makenna made cute polka dots on her pumpkin and yes she is painting with her "birdie" finger! ha, ha

 

Such adorable pumpkins!
