Creative Capes

Sorry for the blurry images. These were taken by Sunessa as we came up with clever ways to tie Gus' blankie in order to make her laugh while on the telephone. Also get to see a few shots of the new, messy kitchen.

The bridal look (minus pants)

Merry Christmas, Baby!

Fast forward 20 years to an article in Rolling Stone where he will thank his supportive parents for giving him his first guitar. At least he knows how to scream "Rock and Roll!!" Its a start.

But if that doesn't work out.....

There's always school, especially with a cool froggy backpack.

Christmas Cookies


Since we knew we were moving into a new house there was no point to putting up a tree at the old house so in order to take part in the season we made many sweet treats and watched lots of Christmas movies. Here are some pics of my first experience with gingerbread men. I've always wanted to make them.


PUSH!!!

Gus LOVED making chocolate bark and placing each raisin very carefully.

And driving his firetruck through the "snow".

Crash Test



The helmet survived. Gus was pleased and giggled with satisfaction.

Thanksgiving Bath


Thanksgiving 2010

We were lucky enough to secure the same cabin as last year to celebrate Thanksgiving which was great. We cooked, ate, choo-choo'd, sat around the campfire and played wii all weekend. It was wonderful.


Poppy brought Gus a hat that suits him.


Snuggling with Gus and Jake by the fire. No bears yet!

The whole group minus a sleeping Karley in the car.

Pow Wow

The boys loved throwing rocks off of the back of the cabin into the forest below. Poppy was the ringleader of course.

Then we created headresses for these crazy savages.

Luckily they were a peaceful, fun loving tribe. Just energetic.....and loud.

Pow Wow II




Karley Rose

Introducing the newest member of the family - Miss Karley Rose Wells. Isn't she beautiful? She truly looks like a little doll. She is that pretty and sweet with tiny perfect features.

Her older, ornerier family members adore her and she loved watching them rough house and talk to her.

She was a trooper on outings.....


And even endured the Polar Express with her two enthusiastic seatmates.

Trucking


We bought a motorized monster truck for Gus from the Bedford Garage Sale for $20! He and Lily decided to take it for a spin last weekend.
They cruised for a long time across James and Joann's backyard with grins on their faces and would turn to look at each other with mouths wide open

Trick or Treat


Without his hat he looks like a kid in a plaid shirt asking for candy but after the second house he was a seasoned (or sweetened!) pro.

Oh, I am supposed to put them in my bag first - not eat them as I go?

Partners in trick or treat crime: Jack (Peter Pan) and Harrison (bowler)

Sheriff Schettler

It looks like a jail scene from a western but its really his crib in the background.
I'm you're snugglebunny.....
You don't want to tangle with the law.
