Buddy

We often call Reid "Buddy" - even Sierra does.

And now, he is calling us "Buddy" too! I laugh out loud every time! It's hilarious!!

Any time he says "thank you" (which is a lot - he's picked up good manners from his big sis), when he's done with something, when you give him something, etc., he says "thank you, buddy!"

He also says "all done, buddy" and "I see you, buddy!" to all of us!

I'll get it on video - it cracks me up!!!

Laundry

My little laundry helper

Mo-vember

Kyle shaved his beard and grew his mustache in November. It really made me laugh the first time I saw him with it...and then I got used to it, mostly.

Well, he shaved it the other day before a big meeting and Reid was so confused for a day or two! He kept calling him Shu Shu (Erick). Poor guy, it's a little confusing when your dad and uncle are identical!! It did make us laugh all day though :)

Nature Center

I love our Nature Center. Mostly because it's close and free! There are animals like a bobcat, wolf, coyote, porcupine and lots of birds and owls.

Then there's a huge sand pit where you can dig up dinosaur bones!

Our weekly play group was cancelled last week and the weather was gorgeous so we made a last minute trip to the nature center. We had so much fun seeing animals, digging in the sand and having a picnic lunch!!! These are such sweet memories!! I love these 2 kiddos soooo much!!!

Funnies and Slang

Reid:
* yelling "Kyle" as loud as he can from the bottom of the stairs. He does this all the time. It cracks me up!

* he started saying "he-ya-go" all as one word when he hands you something. he means "here you go", but it must sound like one big word when we say it :)

* I was helping Reid do a puzzle and when I got a piece in, he said "yay Mommy!!"

* today at lunch he said "more. san-wich. please?"

* when something falls, he now say "Oh nooo!" or "Oh man!"

* after finishing his applesauce he said "Mommy, litta-bit-more!"

lovely Fall weather

Out enjoying it :)

Stories by Daddy

Daddy is a great storyteller! Sierra has been really into storytelling for a long time. Most nights at bedtime she prefers we tell stories instead of reading books. And Daddy is MUCH better at this!

Sierra usually requests what she wants the story to be about and the most common requests right now are: skunks, bears, puppies and sharks.

Here's sweet Daddy telling bedtime stories while stroking Sierra's hair. (they didnt know that i was spying!) Soooooo sweet :)
