Random October Pictures

Garrett's "pirate face"

Their prizes they got from the dentist.

These kids LOVE to paint. 

One day the kids wanted to go to the beach so I told them, "Sure, go put on your swim suits!" Haha. They came out with their swim suits and towels and we turned the car seat boxes into "beach chairs" and they pretended they were at the beach all afternoon long. I even let them have a picnic dinner on their towels and they thought that was pretty cool. 

Making pizza for dinner. Garret wasn't quite as in to it as Kimbri. Sometimes I feel like I have way more pictures of Kimbri because she always is the one that reminds me to take pictures... of her. Bahaha! She will always pose and then say, "Mom! Take a picture of me!"

Kimbri and her artwork. She came up with
this picture all on her own! 

Taking her monkey for show and tell at
preschool.

Taking "selfies" have become really popular in our house... at least for Kimbri and Garrett. Here are a few that they have taken. Sometimes I'll find my phone has like 50 new photos on it... all of Kimbri's eye. But she occasionally gets some good, funny ones. 

This selfie is SOOOO funny to me!!!

Family Picnic at the Riparian Preserve

We went on a little family picnic to the Riparian preserve and it was perfect. The weather was wonderful and the kids enjoyed running around the park and Brenna just chilled with me on the blanket in the shade. I love when we have time to do things like this together as a family. Rick doesn't get much time off, but when he does and we get to do things like this, it fills our buckets and we can face the challenge we call medical school. Haha, but for reals, it was a great day!

Brenna ~ almost 2 months old!

Time flies! I cannot believe that Brenna is almost 2 months old. Here are some pictures from the middle of October.

Smiles in her sleep.

So tired!

Swing Time

Brenna using the swing we got her! It is super cozy and snuggly and she likes it a lot. It has a mobile and sings songs and can rock sided to side or you adjust it to swing front to back. We bought it used off a Gilbert yard sale sight on Facebook. We got a steal of a deal on it and it can plug into the wall so it doesn't suck up a bunch of batteries.  I love having a swing! 

Daddy Daughter Time

Zoo Trip with Jeralyn

On October 10 we took a trip to the zoo. Yes, Brenna was only a little over 6 weeks old, so I never would've been able to get out and take the kids to the zoo if it weren't for my amazing cousin, Jeralyn! We picked her up on our way there and she came along to help me. And she helped a ton! It was so nice to get out of the house and let the kids do something fun. We had a blast! Thanks Jeralyn!!
