Um...Scary!!

So, my 7 1/2 month old is now pulling himself up on anything and everything to stand up.  I'm not sure if I should be happy about this or terribly frightened.  The realization that I could have a walking 8 month old is very scary.  Not likely, but you never know.  

I put the toilet paper on the floor today and Coby crawled right over and stood up next to it. Too CRAZY!!!

Moving Right Along

The concrete for our house is now cured and they have removed the forms.  We also got our tar painted on Friday and we are hoping that the excavator will back fill our lot in the next few days. Another update is that we have decided to go with pre-built walls, which is so nice because it will get the house back on track.  As of right now, we are about 2 months behind. With the pre-built wall we can just about put up an entire house in a day.  How great is that? So, with any luck, we will start framing the first house next Saturday and probably have our house framed by the middle of December... we may even have the roof on by then! 

We Have A Basement

We got our basement forms on Friday and they finally poured the walls this morning.  I took the kids over so they could see the cement and boom trucks.  They were very excited.  To tell you the truth, so was I!!  Now if we could just get started building.  

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!!

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!!!
