I Love vegetables! WHaT!!!

Last Night we went to the Gingerbread Festival. Oh my goodness some people are creative!

This is Brady standing next to the BEST OF SHOW. It was huge and tons of details. Nick said now that he knows that he will have to step up his game now that he knows the competition..
The James family TA DA. Oh look yeah thats me I am actually in a picture for once.
The James gingerbread tree house. Nick created this I was the assistant. We used pretzel rods to do the tree trunk and branches. The dog house is made out of candy legos. It was a lot of fun. We donated it to the Boy scouts of America. So it was fun to do it for charity. I would really suggest it for anyone next year a fun family project for a good cause. It is up at Thanksgiving point, this weekend lots of activity and fun for family or couples or anyone....f
Ella Bella loves veggies not kidding. She will take veggies over anything any day. Last night I noticed her organizing the veggies, see the pile of green beans and broccili. She is a funny girl.

Different night same shirt I noticed, still just lovin the veggies. It may be a silly thing to post about, I think its great!!

Catchin up!!

Here is the few pics I got on Halloween, I forget the camera alot and when I dont forget my hands are to full. We had a blast and we are so excited for the holidays!

A current picture of Nick. He was complaining that I dont have any current pictures of him. We had a great time on his birthday. He blew out all the candles and was not even phased by the trick ones I put in there.

Happy Birthday to Nick!!!

So I know his b-day is not till tomorrow. But the rest of my day is busy and So will my day be tomorrow. Its really sad a few people pointed out that there is not many pics of Nick on my blog, so I wanted to do a post just about Nick.(pics included) I am so lucky to have Nick as a husband and the father to my children. He is such a great guy he is fun and adventurous, caring and way thoughtful. He comes up with the best gifts and i am not very creative when it comes to gift giving. He is such a hard worker and takes so much pride in the things he does. I can always count on him and he will drop whatever he is doing for someone in need. He is also a good looker and I love his dimples. People always say did you know your husband looks like Matt Damon? Here's to you babe!!

Pumpkins, pumpkins where did you come from!

So last night I had to work I left at 530 and worked till 930. I made dinner before I left and left the fam to hang out. I called Nick at 830 to see how he was doing, He said he was good and that they were just hangin out nothing much. So I come home and on the counter there is all these pumpkins decorated cute. I think where did they come from. Well than I take some cute pics and go to download them and the mystery is unraveled. I have such a great husband. He took the kids to pumpkin land, picked out pumpkins. Then the kids said they went to like 3 different stores looking for the paint he wanted. They decorated and painted them. Sooooo cute, he is such a good dad and I am so grateful for him. He loves spending time with his kids and I love that his mom loved creating memories, he gets that from her and I love it... anyways I cant give you many details, because I was at work...

babies!!

Brady likes to sit on my lap and look at the blogs of all our friends with me. He looks up at me and say "mommy how do people get babies in their stomaches" I say, "Why heavenly father sends them to us". OK. Oh I love these days when answers were so easily answered. Oh not for my big kids. I get two full hours of maturation with them next week. AHHHH. Oh the birds and the bees. Wish me luck...

A whole new adventure!

So Ella has discovered she is the perfect size, she fits in all of Brady's toys. She first discovered on sunday that she fit in his dump truck. She took turns grunting at each of us till we would take her for a spin around the house. She just sits in it patiently waiting for the next push. Than on monday she found Brady's toy wagon she got in the Raegan and Brady gave her dollies and a book. They took turns pulling her around the house. Once again being 2 and 3 they would get easily distracted. Ella would just sit in the wagon quietly reading, until someone would remember she was there and take her for another ride. She cracks me up, she is so little and petite, but she is so grown up for her age. She is plays so quietly and hardly ever puts up a fuss. I am so grateful for her and how sweet she is. I love her and so grateful for my little angel!!

Picture tag!!

So I have seen a lot of these picture tags so I got curious to what mine was. Here it is . Little Brady. I am not sure what he is doing, he is a about the age Ella is now. So sweet before he learned how to slam doors and tell me he hates me. Toddlers are tough. If anyone has any advice on how to get my 3 year old to quit being mean, please, please let me know.
