4 months

This little girl loves to smile, she loves people talking to her and is just a joy!!! She is still not sleeping through the night yet, but usually only gets up like once or twice. AND she is still in mommy's room. ha!

Halloween

We started off Halloween with going to the science center for their spooky center, it was so crowded but we ran into a few of our friends. Bad mommy forgot the camera! so no pixs. Then we had the branch party. Leila got dressed up as a cow.
Tale got dressed up as a little emperor. My dad went to Hong Kong and brought him back this cute outfit, I wish he would leave the hat on because it was so cute with it on, but as you can see it was a struggle to keep it on him.
He hates long sleeves so he didn't like wearing the top too much either. Here he is with a few of his friends. Graham won the scariest costume.
But he put his shirt back on once I told him he could get candy. ha! He loved knocking on the doors and getting candy. He held on to his pale the whole night! He wouldn't share his candy with ANYONE! Little stinker!
There were 3 witches at the party, here are two of them.
They had donuts at the party and I was like waiting for them to put it out. Then they said it was for a game, so of course I had to play. ha! So Lindsey joined in with me. I ended up winning but by default. I was the last to have the donut not fall off the string. So not really a win, but I did end up getting the donut and they gave me a big candy bar for it too. so I'll take it. :). Tahri said his costume was man married to a witch. ha! It was a fun night.

Buttermilk Falls Park

Every Wednesday we get to hang out with Norah and her mom. I love my playdates because Tale is entertained and I get someone to hang out with too. And of course Leila is always a trooper either in her stroller or my arms. This Wednesday it was beautiful! Playdates are usually at my house but today since it was so nice we decided to go out and play. We ended up going to buttermilk falls park and it was a good one. Both kids had a lot of fun there. They have a big kid and little kid area, here Tale is at the big kid area. I was nervous because there weren't any guards around this rock which lead to the top of the slide. Tale loved climbing it and going down the slide but I just wanted him to go to the other park. It was making me so nervous because he kept slipping and with me being able to only be on one side of the rock I was scared he would fall of the other. But he wanted no help and wanted to get up there fast. I finally convinced him after like 10 trips to go back to the little kid playground.

Movie Night and Painting

On Sundays we usually go for a family walk, but now that it is getting a little cooler we decided to have movie night. So we blow up the air mattress, throw pillows and blankets on it, pop popcorn, bake cookies and watch a movie. Tale loves it as you can see. He loves it when we bring out the mattress, he jumps on it from the couch, until the popcorn comes out. He loves having his own bowl. This night the movie was How to Train a Dragon. Before Davyne and Grandma left they bought us a big pumpkin, Tale got to paint it. He was having so much fun and of course made a mess. Here he is hard at work. And here he is with paint all over him and his clothes.

Grandma Molifua visits

Tahri's mom and grandma came out to visit us for a few days. We loved having them here and wish they could have stayed longer. We had so much fun with them. These pictures are a little out of order and it was taking too long to put them in order.

Davyne makes quilts for all her grandchildren, here is the one she made for Leila, isn't it beautiful?

We took them to Treman Park and it was beautiful with all the fall leaves. Tale loved playing with the leaves. He especially loved throwing the leaves in the water. He was so close to the edge, which was scaring Grandma, that boy wanted to go into the water so bad! We all had to take turns standing by him to make sure he didn't jump. Crazy boy.

Grandma toots is reciting one of her many poems that she has memorized. It was so peaceful listening to her while watching the leaves fall from the trees. We also went to buttermilk falls. It was the perfect day to go, it was nice and warm with the sun out, and the next day it poured.

Grandma Molifua and Leila

We ate at Ithaca Bakery, Thai Express, and we got some pumpkin ice-cream from Purity Ice-Cream, oh my it was good. We miss you guys!!!

Mommymobile

This is a little late but still exciting for me. So Tahri went to D.C. for a conference and came home with this:

My new mommymobile!!! I am loving it. It is a Jeep Commander, lots more room, no more bending over to buckle the kids in, and best of all it is 4 wheel drive, which will be perfect for the winter!!! :) I'm the worst driver in snow. It has a sunroof and two moonroofs in the back. Tale is loving his and always has to have it open. Thanks babe, I love it!

Strike!

Today we went bowling. Tale was going crazy with all the bowling balls, he couldn't keep his hands off of them. I was surprised at how well he did though, he listened really good. He waited for his turn, he didn't throw a fit when he had to wait, and he didn't go chasing the ball down the lane. :)

Here he is admiring his roll. Tale and Tucker taking their last roll. How cute are the their bowling shoes? I feel bad that I never get any pictures of Leila because she is always just in the background hanging out. So we got one of just us girls. :)
