FINALLY!!

For those of you who know how tought it has been to get Ethan to eat (almost ANYTHING), you are not going to believe this! ETHAN ATE A TUNAFISH SANDWHICH AND A WHOLE CHEESE STICK!!!! Ok, almost a whole half of a tuna sandwhich. Let me back up. Garret and I went away last weekend and when we got back, Mommy decided to take on two challenges. (1) Ethan will eat a variety of food and (2) Emelia will be potty trained. OH..and all by Christmas. Anyways, I institued the new everyone eats the same food for dinner no matter what and everyone has to at least try the food they are given. And for lunch...no more nuggets, fish sticks, hot dogs and corn dogs. It is really working. I know this does not sound like a breakthrough of moden day nutritional science but I dont know if it is his age or the fact that he knows Mommy means business but it is working. I am letting the kids pick out 1 dinner meal a week. But everyone has to eat it! So tomorrow is chicken dinosaurs with corn and apples.?!. Yuh..Garret and I can not wait!
And Emmme, well she eats everything on her plate..usually. So now if I can just get her not to put half the toliet paper roll into her training potty we would be all set!

THe Whole Family


I Love this picture! And my Family!

Picture Time!!
















Halloween!!!

Son of a %$&$%%(




YEP, emelia said it. Ethan wouldn't listen to mommy... and mommy said eeerrr... so Emelia said with a big sigh "son of a b....". Holy cow did she get that from me....?????? Yes, unfortunately that did come from me. Guess I need to watch myself even more than I do :)
Emelia loves to play with her hair clippees. So Mommy decided to put them all in her hair. I know the picture doesn't show it but she thought it was really funny!


Grandpa Grey

Well Grandpa has come through his surgery very well...let me back up. 2 weeks ago my grandfather was taken to the hospital and was having trouble with blood clots on his brain, as well as blood on the brain, causing pressure. He had surgery last Thursday to relieve the pressure and place a shunt. So far he is doing good! We are very happy that he is continuing to progress!

A Little Bit of Everything...

Wow, has it really been 3 weeks. Well, it has been a CRAZY 3 weeks. Halloween, Birthday Parties and me REALLY busy at work. Halloween was really fun. Ethan and Emme really got into everything! Ethan was a dragon and Emelia was a butterfly. They went out with Daddy and our neighbor friends and mommy caught up half way through! It was really fun to see how excited they both were when they got home! They each got a bowl to put thier treats in and carried the bowls around for days! They really didn't eat that many treats but sure did enjoy looking at all the candy. Daddy got a brand new camera so here are some pictures from Halloween.
