Hagen is a Reader!!

Wahoo! After a diligently working on Hagen's homework everyday, Hagen has passed everything off. He is now working on his reading books. He is so excited! I love that he is so excited as well. He is too quick to me, he wants to work on it right away and I want to sleep or am not quite able to sit down with . I am so excited for my smart little guy and so glad that he loves to read.
I have a crawler on my hands. About a week and half ago Calvin started going forward a few crawls and then would stop. Nothing adventurous but he has since realized that he can finally go places. The minute I open the fridge he bolts for it. He loves the laundry room, a lot. And he especially loves that the minute the kids put a toy down he can finally get it. Tonight Hagen put his MP3 player and and Calvin was right their all tangled in the headphone cord. It is fun to see his personality become more prominent.

I don't know what the fascination is with hotdogs! Personally I think they are kinda gross but what do I know. So on Friday night we had my little niece Olivia over for the night. The kids wanted a fire so I thought that if I just boiled up a few hotdogs for them to roast then technically I wouldn't have to make dinner! Yay for me. Well they downed 16 hotdogs within 10 minutes. I was convinced that I would four little ones puking by morning, I was lucky. So the next day we went to RcWilly for free hotdogs. Who wouldn't pass that up! More hotdogs! Too many hotdogs but it was a fun weekend.

Halloween 2011

Here is everyone ready for tricker treating and a fun party at the Millers house. Jared and my cute kiddo's and our friend Spanky and her baby, Roger. We also carved pumpkins. Sid had a smily face, Hagen wanted the Batman symbol, and Kaleigh did a pirate skull. Kaleigh carved her pumpkin all by her self. I was quite impressed.

Here we are all ready for trunk or treat on the Saturday before Halloween. The kids were so excited to get candy and play with their friends.

Calvin was a dinosaur. Soo cute

Teeth

I have three little munchkins who have lost and acquired teeth this last month

Hagen-Calvin-Kaleigh Kaleigh lost one tooth this last month. I think she is almost done loosing teeth. The funny thing is that she wrote a little note asking the tooth fairy what she did with the teeth. The tooth fairy is taking her time answering that one?! I did look on the web to see some of the common answers, some of them were really funny.
Hagen lost his first teeth this month. Every day for two weeks we would wiggle teeth and they were being extremely stubborn, but finally they came out at the same time. The tooth fairy had to cough up two dollars. Hagen was so excited, he wanted to take his two dollars and go to the store and buy a DS game that moment. I tried to explain that DS games cost more that two dollars, I don't think he understood but at least he quit asking.

No loose teeth here. She saw everyone else getting a pix of their teeth and wanted one as well.

I have been trying for weeks to get a pix of Calvin's first little tooth, with absolutely no luck at all. We had gone to our ward trunk or treat and Calvin sucked a sucker down to the stick and was completely sticky. One good thing about this pix is that we finally got a pix of his first little tooth. Kinda hard to see but it is their.

October 2011 Happenings

It seems that it is nice and slow and then October arrives and life is sooo crazy. This last month has been busy.

My Mormor turned 93 on the 10th. She is now living in an assisted living facility. We don't see her a lot, it is pretty chaotic to visit with four little ones. This pix is taken at her birthday party at my Aunt Dorte's house. Part of our craziness this month included lots of yard work. We wanted to accomplish a few outside chores before it was too cold. One thing we did was move the kids play house, which was sitting on cinder blocks and a piece of wood. So we moved the little house and changed the cinder blocks into a fire pit. We've spent a few nights outside roasting marshmallows. This next summer is going to be fun. Never fails, Sid always falls asleep.
It is hard to accomplish anything when you have a 7 month old. Since we have been doing yard work I have been bringing Calvin out with us when it is nice. He has a blast rolling around on the blanket and touching the grass.

I posted this pix because Calvin is so stinkin cute with his Mohawk.

Another big accomplishment for the month is that Calvin can swallow almost anything with out choking. Definitely a positive but that also means that he notices the tiny little items on the floor and they go directly in his mouth. We have had to pull out tape, paper, candy.

He loves food way too much!!
