Jack Maxwell!

Just wanted to quickly post the awesomeness that is Jack Maxwell. He got his pictures back from his preschool, and wanted to share with you all! SO handsome.

Fall Photos 2011

Here are the annual Limuti family photos taken by my bestie, Ms. Cami Enke. We had a wonderful time in Stillwater taking them. I left out the family photo, because that will be our Christmas card this year. I think she did an amazing job, and I think she captured the kids beautifully. Please feel free to leave comments! Is there anyone out there still looking?! :)

Random Goodness...(Cell Phone Dump!)

So, I thought I would just do a bunch of random photos that we have taken since the last post. Cami calls it a Cell Phone Dump, so that's what I will do! So many times, you want to take a pic, and no camera but have the trusty phone. As much as I love my new Android phone, you have to sit perfectly still to get a good pic. So, with Avery that is next to impossible, but I try my best! :)

tooth #5 is out!! I love his mouth. So random with teeth falling out, and so cute.

someone got into the oreos when mom wasn't looking! It was completely my fault for leaving one on the table, so I could not get mad! It was hilarious. And she was like "what?!"

Look at the grin.

Here is a preview of the clothes that Avery wore to our family pictures this past weekend. I have every faith that we all looked good. Praying! But, who else would take good pics than Cami? Check out her blog if you get a chance! www.hazelbrownandblue.blogspot.com

Look at our 7 year old! Wow.

I recently wanted to make donuts for Sam. He LOVES them, (he is is mama's son) and I made cake donuts. They turned out pretty darn good!

I did a caramel and a chocolate glaze.

the day after pics, Jack Jack ran into the TV stand. Huge bump and bruise on his forehead. What timing, huh?

Sam going to the kids musuem, and he got to ride in front. Huh-uh. He was happy.

Doing a puzzle before supper.

I woke up one morning, and there they all were! So cute.

 The boys insisted on taking a bath with Avery. She LOVED it, and they had as much fun as she did! :)

hi mama.

Went to Choo Choo Bob's for our friends birthday party. The kids had a great time.

Avery had just started standing up by herself, and she had a great time!

He is always trying to help her. He really loves her. :)

Pancakes for the first time!

Halloween Night!

Halloween was so much fun! I absolutely love our neighborhood, and the boys do too. Last year, I was still in the hospital and could not take the boys trick or treating. The last thing I said to Joe as he left my room was "take lots of pictures!!" and I got a grand total of 3! Yep. So!! This year I had to make up for it! First up, was to put Avery in her Ladybug costume! She was so darn cute, I couldn't stop saying it for 15 minutes straight. :) At first she was fine....

And then all of sudden, she wasn't! lol. It didn't last long though.

Jack was Darth Vader and Sam was a glowy skeleton.

I am surprised I got this good one!

Avery didn't mind going in her stroller at all. She had a wonderful time watching everyone and seeing all the other kids in the neighborhood. Did I mention how much I love it?!

Look at all the CANDY mom!!

She was perfectly content to sit and try and eat all of it. :)

then, they wanted to pass out candy!

I really love my boys.

 Daddy came too!

She broke through the candy bar at one point, I think! We had so much fun.

This makes it very much sadder for us to leave because of nights like this when the community really comes together to have a great time and get to know one another. Ours has been so welcoming and nurturing since we got here in July, and it is very hard to know we do have to go. Joe is having a wonderful time and experience at Rochester Toyota, and that is what matters. The drive is very tough and draining for him, so we are actively looking for a house down there. We have not had much luck, but I know that God has a plan for us and it will eventually all come together! I have said more than once, that I wish we could just pick up this house and plop it down there. We really love it, but it's OK. I think we might just find a better house in Rochester! :)
