A Christmas Picture

Growing Too Fast

Caitlin Elaine is almost 15 months!

She is so so happy and sweet almost all the time. Giggles and smiles all day long.

She LOVES books. She will look at them and babble, babble, babble while she looks and points at the pictures. A pile of books will keep her entertained for at least a 1/2 hour. The first thing she does if we go to anyone's house is find a book and carry it around the whole time we're there. She could care less about toys!

She still loves food but is starting to be more picky about it. She'll throw it on the floor if she doesn't like it. Fun for me!

She is such a blessing to our family. I look forward to spending every day with her.

Friendsgiving

Our friends the Roes had a great idea this year: to have a Thanksgiving with friends! So the Binghams hosted and it was a huge success. Good food and BSU v. TCU. If only the end of the game hadn't turned out so horribly...Oh, well. We had a great time!

Outstanding Airman of the Quarter

Yep, I'm gonna brag because my honey is a total stud.

He was nominated for Outstanding Airman of the Quarter and he's only been working his job for 5 months. Mmmmmhmmmmm, that's right!

So proud of you!

Here are pics from the ceremony: (I didn't get to go because Caitlin was sick but Phil's parents were there.)

Halloween Happenings

Sophie's Preschool Halloween Party:

Carving huge pumpkins from Papa's garden!

Our first murder mystery party! The theme was "Lethal Luau":

Ready for a costume party:

Trick or Treating:

Caitlin didn't last very long in her skunk costume, but she looked "stinkin" cute!

On our way to grandma's house:

Sophie and her friend Cole: (We ended up having to throw Sophie's costume away that night because the sequins were EVERYWHERE and she ripped it when she tripped over it.)
