Cute!

He's just really cute! We sure love having him around. And he really loves his Vicks. Anytime he sees it he has to have it so when he's stuffy in the night & I put it on him I have to be sure to hide it from him. If he sees it he gets upset if he can't hold it! What's Bennett getting for Christmas?? Possibly more Vicks, he is stuffy a lot too:). Bennett is starting to make his way all over. He not only can roll across any room in no time flat, he now scoots himself too. He loves to stand in his exersaucer and jump. It is so loud and we can't hear anything when he does it during homework time or dinner time or while the kids watch TV. They have started yelling at him to stop but it does no good. Bennett also enjoys rolling to the tile so he can lick it. We think it is a disgusting hobby but he seems to love it along with licking anything else that gets close to his tongue.

Tree lighting

Shaleen's family came over for Thanksgiving this year again & Shoo & the kids spent the night so we could have fun the next day. We let the kids play most of the day but did venture out a few times. In the evening we went to a tree lighting at an outdoor mall. It was a lot of fun. It was crowded but we ended up with a pretty good view. We were right by the tree when the lights went on & all the fire works went off. We were all very excited and cheered loudly until we realized the babies were screaming. Apparently it was a little too close for Bennett & Madelyn. We got lots of pictures with characters after but the biggest hit of the event was all the silver confetti on the ground. The boys loved having confetti fights, it was almost as if we lived in the snow but better because your hands didn't freeze:).

Halloween in December, I know!

We had a fun Halloween with all our Parke cousin's in town. Jillian spent part of the weekend throwing up (her 2nd of what has been 5 cases of it). The boys played and had lots of fun being crazy.

A few weeks before Halloween we made our traditional monster houses with Abi & Natie. Quinn got to join us this year and Bennett was an excellent observer. Quinn was very pleased with his first tastes of candy!!!
