Beca's 1st Cookies

So we decided to make cookies while Daddy was at one of his meeting. Beca wanted to make some by herself so that is what she did.

I would put in my ingredient and then I would give the measuring cup or spoon then she would put the amount that she thought went in there.

Then she would stir it while I did the next thing. The only thing that I did for her was the egg and the butter but everything else she did.

She loves chocolate chips so i had to be very careful when she put them in to her mixture because she wanted to eat them out. So if you look behind the bowl there is some that wasn't in there that she was eating the whole time we were doing this.

Then we put them on the cookie sheet and 12 min later...

COOKIES!!!

She made them special just for her daddy. So it was only natural for him to take the 1st bite!

Well surprisingly they were not to bad just a little dry. I think she did awesome and she is one of my best helpers. Josh thought that they were good and had a couple of them so we have a little baker on our hands.

These Boots Are Made For Walking

We found some new boots at Goodwill and Beca loves them. She also learned how to remove her clothes so that explains the legs. This is her saying Cheese.

Now She wants to see the picture while saying "oh cute"

What can I say She is so Cute. What a Poser?

Here she is showing off some leg. She is going to be trouble.

She is trying to pose like mommy with her hand on her hip.
She sure loves putting her boots on and running around the house.

I love it when family comes to visit!

So my parents came in to town to see us! We love it when we get visitors. We decided to go to the Zoo since they had never gone before. Well at least the Oregon Zoo. I think we saw everything there was to see at the zoo and if we didn't i would be surprised because we were there for 5 hour. The crazy part about that was it really didn't seem like we were there that long.

She is so cute!

It must have been because my parents wee there but that animals were all out and doing thing. I have never seen so many animals that were active and playing on the same day. you always see a few animals playing but not most of them.

We took a lunch to the zoo and that is the only way to do it. You get to have a picnic and you don't get tempted by the food booths that will cost you an arm and a leg.

Beca calls all the cat at the zoo kitties and they are her favorite.

After our picnic we let Beca ride some animal. I bet you have never ridden a hippo before!

This animal we are not sure what it is. It could be a camel or a slug but Beca really liked it so she rode that one two.

This was the best animal of the day. It was the polar bear. HE was playing in the water for a really long time. He had this ball that he would throw up in the air and then he would tap it with his head and catch it in the other hand. I don't think he ever really caught it but he was awesome.

HE is so big you could see him in the water playing and then he would push off the glass that was a little scary. Very big animal pushing on the one think that separates you from him. Ya a little nerve racking.

This lion was awesome!

It loved this little girl in the corner of the picture. The lion started licking the glass right by that girls head. We think that the Lion was hungry. they were really active too.

Isn't she so cute and talented! She is on an elephant trike but she wasn't able to move it! that is probable a good thing !!

So we all got on it and we were still so little to move it i guess that is way it is for an elephant!
HA HA!

Well we had tons of fun at the zoo and by the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my DAD it was his b-day on this day we were there. He also had to put up with a lot of stuff that we did to him. We love both of our parents a lot and we loved having you here!

Thanksgiving in Idaho

When we went down to Idaho for Thanksgiving we got to help feed the horse. It was so much fun to watch Beca she wanted to see very thing.

Beca wanted to go in with the horses with her Daddy. Come to find out that the horse we let her pet is not the most tame one of the the bunch but the horse was great for Beca.

Beca loved going to see and feed the animal. After we got back home she asked me everyday for a week if we could go and see the animals.

Happy Halloween!
These are our pumpkins they were tons of fun to do. We carved them the Saturday before Halloween.

This pumpkin is mine. I always do the cute ones and Josh always does the scary carving.

This is Josh's pumpkin. His is called the evil twins. It is pretty scary isn't it? Well, I think so even if you don't!

So these are our costumes. Beca is Little Red Riding Hood, I am the Grandmother, and Josh is the woodsman that saves grandma. We thought that would be better then the big bad wolf and it was an easier costume to make.

The Party was fun because no one new who I was. One of my primary kids asked Josh were I was and I was standing pretty close to Josh when he asked. He was pretty surprised when I said " I am right here!"

Josh and I had a booth that we did for the kid and the adults. It was called Donuts on a String. You had to race and eat the donuts before the other person did! I won!!!

After the Party we took Beca trick or treating for the first time. She did really good until she got candy in her bucket then she just wanted the candy. She also realized that people would give her candy so she just started holding her hand out and not saying anything. She started out saying the words trick or treat. It is so cute!!

Well we hope that you all had a safe and wonderful Halloween!
Bye Bye

Watch what she can do!

Beca has a new favorite toy! it is her baby. She feeds it, puts it to bed, gives a bottle and well you will just have to see...
