Our cute little family!

A popular sleeping position



Gage's first bottle. He hadn't gained enough weight at his 2 week appt so we switched to formula soon after. He transitioned pretty easily and quickly put on some pounds! These first pictures are from awhile ago, so he looks skinnier than he is now.


What a good big sister! Sophie is reading her Bible to Gage.






Sophie got to wear her jammies to school one day last month...she loved it!


We were excited when Gage's umbilical cord fell off so we could start doing tubbies!






Gage's baby dedication at church


This was during a reception after church for those of us who had babies dedicated. Elsie wasn't feeling too great, as you can tell by the scowl on her face!







On Sophie's birthday. Mike decorated her room and chair with streamers before she woke up. She didn't care too much for the streamers in her room (I think they might have scared her when she woke up!) but she loved the streamers on her chair!



I have no idea what Elsie was doing here. She's such a goof-ball!




Gage likes to sleep with one or both of his arms up by his head...pretty cute! You can see how much fatter his face is now than in the previous pictures! He still seems pretty little, though!






Sophie's birthday

Sophie and her friend Hannah have birthday's that are 5 days apart, so we did a joined 4th birthday party for both girls. We had the Tumblebus come visit our house, so this school bus parked outside the house and it had a bunch of gymnastics stuff inside that the kids could play on. They all loved it!







Inside the Tumblebus

Sophie doing the zipline


She was doing these handlebars all by herself! Maybe we have a little gymnast in the family!


Sophie and Hannah both got a big ribbon and a shirt for being the birthday girls!

What would we do without grandparents?!?!

























I thought this picture was hilarious because we had to put everything at least an arm's length away from Elsie's end of the table!







Had to upload this video through Youtube because Blogger wasn't letting me put videos on the blog! As you can see, Elsie is very interested in helping Gage with his pacifier. You can just barely hear her saying "it's okay, Gage" over his crying in this video. She's like a little mommy to him (which means I have to watch her pretty good or else she'll try to pick him up or take off his clothes to change his diaper!)

Halloween fun!

We went to a pumpkin patch with our friends, the Slovinsky's, before baby brother was born. The girls loved picking out their tiny pumpkins.













Sophie got to wear her costume to school on the Thursday before Halloween. Here she is posing with batman (Evan)



Sophie, Hannah and Sarah during their fall party at school..you should have seen all the sweets these kids got to eat! Sophie was in heaven!











Carving pumpkins with Grammy












On Saturday morning we went to a parade in downtown Moore.














Getting ready to go trick-or-treating...This is Elsie's attempt at posing like her sister (looks like she has to go potty! :)






Our cute cowgirls, cowboy and baby cow!


A group photo before we headed out to trick-or-treat!














Sophie and her "besties" waiting for candy. Sophie took trick-or-treating very seriously...but after getting her candy, she always made sure that Elsie and her friend Evan made it up to the door to get their candy too. Super cute!


Grammy and our baby cow...he'll enjoy this more next year!



Sophie and Evan (now superman!)
