Peatross,Mortensen Christmas Party!!

We had our annual Christmas party with Brian's side of the family this weekend. We had a blast. Brian's Grandma Nancy brought some marshmallow guns and everyone had fun shooting each other before dinner was ready. It was a great idea and I'm pretty sure the adults had more fun with it than the kids. Brian managed to find a way for marshmallows to hurt when they hit you. He thought it was hilarious. I took a picture of what the floor looked like when we were done and that was just a square of it. Dinner was great we enjoyed seeing all the family some of whom hadn't seen the baby yet. Brady got a Nerf gun game that included two guns and as you can see from the picture below He and Brian have been having a blast with them. We all had fun and finally got a family picture. Minus Brandon and Dylan. Hey maybe next year.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

This year we had Thanksgiving at my moms house with 26 other people. It turned out really crazy but also really fun. Looking around we could see we had a lot of things and people to be thankful for.

How big is paislee?

Paislee has a new trick if you say how big is paislee she will raise her arms up like this and then we say Soooo Big and she smiles. I just had to share this picture I think her trick is so cute!

Family picture time

I think I love a vampire!

And you will to if you read this book. My sister got me reading this book and I can't seem to put it down. Good thing there are 3 books and one on the way.

Paislee and her many hats!

All dressed up!

Brian dressed up this halloween mostly for the kids but I think we all had a good time. I just thought this picture was hilarious and thought I would share.

The Knight the princess and the dragon...

This year for Halloween Brady is a knight, Krissa is a princess and of course paislee is our dragon. We went to a little Halloween party at one of the stores in Ketchum today so I took this opportunity to get some cute pictures of the kids. I love the one above of brady protecting the princess from the dragon. The kids did apple bobbing and face painting. They had a great time. Make sure and check out the slide show below. As I have added more pictures there to.

Happy pre-halloween

What the heck are you?

I took this picture because our dog penny has just seemed to recognize that paislee isn't just a crying lump. Lately she has been hanging around paislee and taking her paw and tapping paislee on the head. It is so funny. Before now she hardly even acknowledged that she was around. Maybe its paislee's new found screaming voice that did it. She just screams she isn't sad its just like she likes hearing her voice. And of course paislee loves to watch penny walk around. I wonder if she's thinking wow that stuffed animal is alive :}

Dance like nobody's watching!

Krissa has been doing ballet for a couple years now and she loves it. She is a true performer. When we went to parents night to watch her I was taking pictures and she kept saying "have you got the video camera out yet". She was so worried I wasn't going to catch her on tape. The plea to the left might not be the best in the world but we thought she was the best dancer there!

Fall is definetly here

Which means in Bellevue snow is just a day or two away :] I took this picture so my sister in st. george could see some leaves changing. She is sad and misses fall and I sometimes wish I lived where she is where it is warm all the time. Just goes to show you we always have something to complain about :}

Check out my Slide Show!

Look at me I can sit.

Paislee can officially sit on her own. Not for very long but she can. I can't believe how fast she is growing. Hopefully she doesn't grow to fast before she can forget about the whole thumb sucking thing.

Thumbs Anonymous

Paislee seriously needs thumbs anonymous. I was trying to feed her and had to keep fighting her in between to get the food in before the thumb. I just hope she isn't still like this when she is 7. She is finally rolling from back to belly. She has been doing belly to back for a while but she can move around a room pretty good just rolling around. I can only imagine what will happen when she crawls.
