Coby's First Haircut

Well, my little Coby had his first haircut the other day.  I know some of you would say I am mean because I didn't wait and enjoy the baby hair long enough, but I just couldn't do it.  I guess it's just the hairdresser in me.  I had to get rid of the fuzzies.  I actually waited longer to do his than either of the other boys.  Here are some before and after pics.  I did the best I could while he was jumping on Josh's lap.  That boy never sits still!!

BEFORE

AFTER

Coby and Talon

Halloween

Here are just a couple of picture from Halloween.  We had a fun day.  In the morning, Talon had a preschool party and tiny parade.  Then we went to show Daddy and Grandma our costumes. At 4:00 we went trick-or-treating (kind of nice for the kids to trick-or-treat while it's still light-that's how they always do it here). To finish off the day, we went to a party.  We all had a blast eating soup and treats and playing games. Thanks Wathens for a great night!!

Talon is Batman, Kaleb is a gorilla and Coby is a lion.

Just a silly picture of Josh and I.  I went as an 80's girl and Josh is a guy riding on a monsters shoulder.  Kind of hard to tell from the picture though.

Coby's Busy Month

Coby had a busy October!  He started on rice cereal, oatmeal and baby food, cut two teeth, learned to crawl and celebrated his first Halloween as a Lion.  He is now 7 months old and even more busy than before because now he can move to the toys.  It's so fun to see him grow...especially since he is such a pleasant baby now.  We love his cute smile and determined personality.  

Coby is wearing Talon's hat in this picture and I think he is squinting from the flash, but I thought it was a darling picture of him.  Love those chubby cheeks!!

Plumbing!!

We finally have plumbing! The plumber got the pipes and drains in last week and now they are slowly working their way to our hole to do the footings and basement walls.  Then, we'll be off and running with the framing.  Looks like we will be in our winter best to build most of this house.  Oh well, at least it's a house right??

Pumpkins...Of Course

You know I had to do it.  Here is our Pumpkin post.  We went to the pumpkin patch with the Knudsens this year and it was so fun.  All of the kids had a blast picking their own pumpkins and riding in the wagon.  

After we picked out our pumpkins, the little kids all wanted to ride in the wagon, so Bradyn pulled and Dillan pushed.  That was a heavy load with kids and pumpkins.

Josh and I and our 3 little pumpkins.

All of the kids. So CUTE!!

Hey Cowboy

This is actually Talon's cowboy hat, but as you can see, Coby likes to wear it too.  Tal was on the floor playing with him one night and put the hat on him and he really seemed to like it.  Talon thought that was pretty fun!!

Baking with Aunt Hailee

Aunt Hailee came down a few days ago to bake sugar cookies with the boys.  They had a blast! They made pumpkins, ghosts, moons and cats. Then, of course, they frosted and decorated them.  Kaleb would spread the frosting on and then lick it off.  We saved his cookie just for him. The boys had so much fun.  Thanks Aunt Hailee!!!

My Newest Purchase

A couple of months ago, I saw some jars similar to these at Costco that I didn't buy.  By the time I had decided that I really wanted to spend the $50 on them that they cost, they were gone and my heart was broken.  I really loved them and thought about them pretty much everyday. I thought they would look great  on my new dining room table (whenever I get that).  Well, the other day I got on EBAY, just curious to see if they had the jars.  They didn't, but they had these and they are even cuter than the ones I saw at Costco.  I jumped right on them, not wanting the opportunity to pass again and here they are. All I need now is a place to put them.  

Making Progress...Finally!

Well, we FINALLY started our house.  They dug the hole this weekend and hopefully within the week, the plumbers will get out there and they can get the concrete started.  We have been hearing, "We'll dig at the end of the week" for about 5 weeks now.  It's nice to finally see some dirt moving.  

Someday, this will be our home.

Here I am, standing in the hole, ready to get started.  

Coby is 6 months!!

Coby is officially 6 months old as of yesterday (Tuesday).  He is such a cute little bug.  He is now eating some baby food and I think he'll even like it soon.  He usually gags and shivers when we give him bites.  It's pretty funny.  As most of you already know, he really tries hard to keep up with his brothers.  He rolled over quite sooner than they did, sat up at 4 1/2 months and now, he gets up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth.  It's crazy!!  I guess he just wants to run and jump with the other boys.  Won't be long now!
