Huston's first t-ball game!!

I haven't posted pics of H's first game. The first game was quite humorous. The boys were mainly into races each other around the bases- having no clue as to how to play the game. (I think their interest level was low, actually) Huston is posing with his friend, Andrew and then with his other friend, Brock. Trying to get a pic with all three boys that day was not possible. They were excited to horse-around!

Team Photo

Thursday, October 29, Huston had his team photo taken. Stay tuned- I will post the official photo when I get it. It was unusually cold. The entire day was a balmy 80 degrees. Then when we met up for the team photo- it dropped about 25 degrees. Once we were done shivering and got in our car to go home- the temperature said 54 degrees.

*Huston's best friends: Andrew is next to him and Brock is the tallest boy on the top row.

Great Grandma "Tayne"

Wednesday, October 28, my mom and I were planning on taking my Grandmother LaMontagne out to a quiet nice lunch. The plans were changed at the last minute and we had the kids with us. It worked out well because the kids and my grandmother had the best time! It's a lot of work taking the kids and my grandmother out but you can tell by the pics that it was well worth it!! While we were eating, Huston decided that he was a bunny hopping all over the booth. My grandmother just laughed and laughed. We all had the best time! It's these special times that Huston and Emery will remember their great grandma!

Dentist

Huston went to the dentist this month because he kept telling me his mouth/tooth hurt. He also made comments to his teachers and to Lovey (Kathryn). So, I made an appointment for him to be checked out. It turned out to be a cold sore on the side of his mouth. He had the best time riding all the rides at the dentist office. I forgot to take pics and remembered at the end while he was riding his last ride. He loves going to the dentist- but not necessarily the utensils in his mouth.

H's first ER trip

One Friday morning I was in a hurry to take the kids to an appointment. I was grabbing our bags and telling the kids- "Let's go!" Huston comes running to me crying and telling me about a Lego piece in his nose. This is very our of character for Huston to be putting things in his mouth, ears, nose. He is my cautious child of the two. Now if Emery did it I wouldn't be surprised! (Earlier that week she swallowed a penny- we still haven't found it. I am pretty sure she is ok though- her plumbing works just fine.) I was a little unsure if he was just saying that and nothing was in his nose or what. I asked him to see about blowing it OUT and he just blows his nose IN. (We are still working on that one!) So, blowing IN a few times mighty forcefully sure did lodge it right up there. I called Clark at work and we agreed to meet at the ER. Once there they took his vitals and then put him in a special room. The doctor came in to see where it was located and then went to get a nurse. Poor Huston was put in a "straight jacket" made of pillowcases and sheets. That was the most painful part for him to be where he couldn't move his arms and legs. The nurse, Clark and I held Huston while the doctor picked out the Lego arm with special tweezers. It took about 1 minute and then it was over. As a prize, Huston got two purple Popsicles and a sticker. Bravo, Huston!

lunch with G-ma and G-pa

We met my parents for lunch one Sunday after church. We ended up at Olive Garden- because of the central location (Ellis family in town). There was a balloon guy making any balloon creation for the kids in the restaurant. Huston chose a dinosaur and Emery a crown (what else for the Princess!). I managed to get a pic of my dad- Grandpa Bob and then my dad tried to get a pic with E and I. You gotta be fast with these kids! They had a great time and enjoyed seeing their cousins! Sadly, I didn't take any pics with Braden and Landon. :(

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Every October our church brings in pumpkins to sell. Of course everytime that entire month we are at the church it is a must to visit the patch. Since we are at our church at least 5 days out of the week we always make our way to the patch. (Yes, in some of these pics H & E have on their jammies. Clark and I take a class on Monday nights so I let them go to church in their jammies. They love it- they think it is pretty cool.)
