Birthday Girl!

My baby turned one today. I can't believe that a year has passed already. She has grown so much and is such a joy to be around. Keith was able to come home for a little bit last night to help celebrate her birthday with cake and presents. She wasn't sure about the cake at first, but then really got into the mess making. She loved the tissue paper from the presents too.

Drums! She loves to make music.

She had to get the last lick of frosting off.

A hat!

She wasn't so sure about the first bite of cake.

Puppy Love

We named her Tikka (Tea-Ka) and she fits in perfectly with the family. Brenna and Keith seem to be her favorites so far. I think Mason is a little too loud for her right now. She's a great puppy and is already spoiled. Nap Time

Bath Time

Sport is starting to warm up to her.

Brenna loves to hug and kiss her.

Halloween

Dinosaur! ROAR!!
I took the kids to Keith's work Halloween party out in Neah Bay. It was a gross, windy and rainy night. The station lost power and the kids and I ended up staying overnight in the extra duty room, but we all had fun.

Mud Pies

Who says you can't make a mud pie and eat it too? It's hard to be mad when they're so cute!

Tour de Garage

It's so nice to have a huge garage for the kids to ride bikes and various other wheeled vehicles in. Brenna loves this little 4-wheeler. Mason is getting so good at riding that we may have to try raising the training wheels a little. My guys are getting so grown up!

Needing A Name

We adopted a puppy today. She's a 9 week old collie-huskey mix. She's very adorable and sweet. And... She Needs a Name! Mason wants to name her "Puppy-Dog," but I'm thinking something different would be better.

The Carving

All done!
Notice the tattoos.

Ta- Da!

Smells good!

Mason named his pumpkin Patch.

Brenna and Baby

Brenna has just recently discovered that she likes baby dolls. She loves on them and carries them around. So cute!

Bunk Bed Bouncing

Bunk bed bouncing is a favorite post bath activity in our home.

Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids to the Pumpkin Patch early this month. Brenna had tons of fun looking and touching all the pumpkins and Mason loved watching the pigs, chickens and horses.

Truck Show

Mason put on a truck show in the living room the other day. He lined up all the vehicles that he could find in the house. These are only a portion of the cars and trucks he owns, but the others are occupying the flower beds, the car, the couch, the dishwasher, ect. He showed them off for some pictures, before they all started to race around.
