My latest obsession

The smile, the over-sized baby teeth, the long lashes, 

the constant waterfall/drool, the chunky cheeks,

the fading birthmark (that matches the one I had),

the O face, the chubby baby feet, the blond hair.

I am obsessed.

Check out my new trick...

Miles is walking 10-15 steps at a time and thinks it's pretty much the coolest thing ever. 

He sure looks grownup walking by himself!

Goldilocks and the 3 Bears + Minnie Mouse

 Before preschool. Approximately 7 in the morning. Early!

 Papa Egbert got into town on Halloween! So fun! Miles' shirt says, "got candy?"

 Goldilocks with Minnie tights and the 3 Bears

 Frannie is so cute! I love this costume. (She had baby the next day)

 Jocelyn just LOVES these girls! Yay for cousins in Texas. (Casey's cousins)

Miles got to eat a sucker! He was pretty mad at me when I took it away.

I was super excited to do a goldilocks and the 3 bears theme. Frannie was amazing and made all 3 of the bear beanies! They looked so great! Thank you! I made Jocelyn the little apron that says, "Goldilocks".

Jocelyn dressed up for preschool in the morning as minnie mouse and she looked adorable. The problem was that after she dressed up as Minnie she didn't want to dress up as goldilocks. I convinced her to be goldilocks and then part way through trick or treating she changed back to Minnie.

We went to a family's house in the ward for dinner and then trick or treated around their neighborhood. Funny thing is I didn't meet the family until we showed up at their house (Casey knows her from ym/yw). Our ward is fantastic! Thank you Mondragon Family! We had a great time!

Happy Halloween!

spilt juice

Jocelyn stuck a straw in her juice box and it spilled a little. 

She said, "Oh my gosh! Are you kidding me juice? Seriously. 

Yikes, stinkin thing. You got on my chair too! I guess you were filled way up."

She is very "grown up" now. Casey says she talks just like me.... hmmm

*it's been 2 hours since i last held my new nephew and i want to hold him again. i love baby boston!

*my house is freeeeezing (it's 71 degrees).

*casey folded and put away the most ginormous pile of laundry ever for me today. he is the best!

*i limit my kids intake of halloween candy, but not my own. hmmm...

*the dog below us won't stop barking- a little annoying, but i bet my kids crying/screaming at night is more annoying.

*miles needs to stop waking up at night. hard core sleep training started last night. jocelyn is sleeping in our closet.

*i got a job that is only at night after the kids are in bed till about midnight and weekends. i help a lady in the ward with her catering business. it's honestly the best job i've ever had (besides the obvious "job" of being a mommy.)

*so sad to see dad egbert say goodbye to the kids tonight. he goes back to utah in the morning and the trip felt much too short. we miss family

*any visitors want to come see us?? we'll take you any time!

*texas has some really really nice people. it's said that the people make up for the hot/humid weather and i believe it.

*pinterest in my newest addiction online. i think it's very useful and fun and awesome.

*miles boy is 11 months old, no longer looks like a baby, and is crazy/wild/into everything! love him!

*jocelyn started preschool. she loves it. i think i love it but miss her lots and wonder how she is old enough to go off to school.

ps- WE LIVE IN TEXAS!
