Can YOU guess??

Which baby was given 3 cups of NyQuil before this video was taken?

Who's your vote: Robbie or Taven? leave a comment with your response.

*Disclaimer: no babies were harmed or drugged during the taping of this video. They're just really weird.

Santa in November

This past weekend the Hilmar Cheese Factory had their annual Holiday Open House. They had delicious h'ors deurves to taste, Santa and Daisy the Cow came to visit the kids and there was even a quartet walking around singing carols. It was a fun way to welcome in the holiday season. The kids loved it. Mariah was so excited to see Santa (who was so ghetto by the way - but they didn't care or notice) and she wanted to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. So we get up there and get the pictures taken and then let the next people go. But then Mariah remembered that she hadn't told him what she wanted!
So she ran up in front of these kids having their pictures taken to tell Santa her Christmas wish list. He was sweet and say "Okay!" and then she was satisfied. It's so fun that she's old enough to really get excited about Christmas this year. Robbie just wanted to grab the cow and jump off Santa's lap. But he loved trying all the food! We went with Trent, Taraleigh and Taven. I included a pic of cutie pie Taven on Santa's lap.

Halloween

This year for Halloween we (at the LAST minute) decided to be the Wizard of Oz crew. Mariah was Dorothy, Robbie was the Lion, Josh was the Scarecrow and I was the Wicked Witch of the West... The Duffey's and the Davidson's

Robbie, the hungry Lion.

We took the kids to a church Halloween party. It was out on a friend's ranch and it was a blast. They had a chili cook-off, hay rides, a spook house, trunk or treat, a bonfire and much more! The kids had a great time and got lots of candy to share with Mommy and Daddy!
After the church party, we took the kids and a babysitter home, put all the kids to bed and went out with the Duffey's to another friends' party.

As you can see, it was pretty late and we were away from the kids... so things got a little crazy! We didn't get home until 1:30 which these days, is pretty late for me. I'm still recovering...
