Like Mother like Daughter

So, ever since I was a little girl I liked to dip my peanut butter and jelly sandwich in milk. I know to many it sounds disgusting. But, I have past it down to my boys. They also love to dip their sandwiches. Yesterday while Cali and I were eating lunch, she looked at my milk and asked if she could dip dip in my cup. One taste and she was hooked. So, there we sat eating our PB & J and sharing a cup of milk to dunk our sandwiches.

YUM!! Do you have foods that you like to eat a weird way?

Cali turns 2!

Happy Birthday Cali! Tanner was a stud and wrapped half of these presents. And, time to party girl style.

Dad helping her get the new barbies out. Thanks to Grandma Carter for buying her her first barbies.

Cali's first stoller. Its really a long time coming. She walked for miles around and around the house with her new babies!

Its seriously amazing to Todd and I how nurturing she is to these dolls. Whispering "there you go" when she puts her in the stroller and such.

Cake time. Ok, I'm not going to lie this cake took an embarrasing amount of time and effort on my part. My original thought was to fly Stacy in to decorate it for me and alas I should have gone with that. Stacy you could have done much better I'm sure.

But it was a cute cake, thanks to Rachelle for loaning me her mold. The big one has eggs, but for my Cater man the cupcakes did not. Everybody wins in the Mons house.

Fall Break Fun

The kids were out of school for a whole week for Fall Break. Yeah me, I was ready for some time off with the kids.

Where else can you run through the sprinklers in the middle of October? These came on down the street at our park. They were down there playing, and ran through with all their clothes on first then came home and put on their swimsuits as an afterthought.

Not sure what Tanner is doing here, Todd took the pictures and was down there with the kids.

Onto the zoo. I love our zoo, nice and on the small side. Best time of year to do it too.

My kids favorite thing to do this time of year is put up the spider web, and also booing neighbors, leaving a treat and running. Which will be tomorrow night, so watch out.

Dad's work is downtown. Always a special treat to get together with dad for lunch.

There is the funnest pumpkin stand downtown on Broadway. They have a small petting zoo there as well.

A girl after my own heart.

This is her new posing smiley face. I can't say its the cutest smile, but I'll take it.

We scored 3 great pumpkins to carve for the Ward Halloween Party.

Finally, on Friday my friend Brookelle and I took the kids to the Ostrich Farm off of I-10. We had a blast. See that truck behind me, we went for a tour and boy did it get wild. It had my blood pumping.

Cali was the bravest of all the kids. She would stick her hand right in their mouth.

What a fun time we had. By the end my kids were asking if they could skip school and be home schooled. Um let me think about that .... No, I love you but No!
