Carmel Apples Anyone?

So this has got to be the last post of the night. I have been trying to get caught up on October and I mostly am but I will have to save Trick or treating for another night.

I was looking on a friends blog and saw some delish, lookin' carmel apples and I have never made them and have always wanted to so I did.

I made 5 HUGE carmel apples, I told Brian we cannot have all these at our house. I dipped them in carmel then white chocolate, milk chocolate, m&m's then butterfinger and "Wa-la!" A delicious healthy, non fatning, low carb treat.................!

This star one is my fav, I think it turned out the best!!

I also made Chili, this was not the traditional beef Chili, this was a recipe I once again got off a friends website. It is Cheesy White Chicken Chili, it was so so easy to make and absolutely d-lish!! I am excited to eat it again tomorrow for lunch. I will have to post the recipe tomorrow, you have got to try it!

Ashley

Everyday Ashley has a blow out and its making me CRAZY! I know there is nothing I can do about this problem unless I put duck tape all around her waste and legs and even then Im sure it would find some way of getting out and all over her out fit. So this morning after her morning blow out I was collecting all the goods and she rolled over and was trying to crawl. Even though she causes me to spend lots of time at the washing machine scrubbing her clothes with Tide and a tooth brush I love this little girl. So here she is bearing all.


Oh yeah look at me, I can get up on my knees,














Ha, I am so big!

Few, that was some hard work!

Bath Time

Ashley has been making the funniest faces today. The kids were in the tub and they were both laughing so hard. See if you can catch the face I am talking about.

Ashley Spitting

Ashley loves baby food, lately while I am feeding her she has started spitting it out. It is so funny when she does this and we have been laughing at her so now she thinks its a game. I tell her, "no, no Ashley" and she will look at me with her innocent little smile and "ppppppppppp" there goes sweet potatoes. There have been so many times I have laughed my guts out about something these kids do that they shouldn't.

Good Lookin' Kids

This was taken Sunday afternoon. Braden would not go down for a nap and I was taking care of Ashley so Braden and Bri were hanging out and bam, Braden is out!! Too bad Brian isn't home during the day to work his magic.

This is the outfit Ashley wore to church on Sunday, I think she looks so so cute, I had to post it. She can sit up all by herself now and is trying so hard to crawl.

I bribed Braden at the grocery store with this Kid Cuisine and once again I was bribing him so he would sit with Ashley for a second while I took a pic.

The little monster himself, he is so darn handsome.

Gymnastics Day

I have been waiting for this day for weeks!! The gym Braden goes to was doing a 2 hour play class, it was on a sat so Brian finally got to come see Braden in action. I was glad he was able to see what I have been ranting and raving about for the past 2 months. Although Braden is only 2 he is pretty coordinated and really strong. Its fun to watch him climb and jump and play and tumble. His teachers are always so impressed with him and what he can do. He tumbles all over the house, his bed, the bathroom, Ashley and any place he can. I showed him how I can do a head stand (yes thats right I can still do them, but they are much more painful now) and he has been attempting ever since.

This is a video clip of him on the rope swing. They had never opened this during his class before but he looked like a pro! He just loved swinging into the foam pit, it was fun watching him try to crawl out of the foam pit. I am just so glad we found this place for him, it has really been good for both of us. I have been meeting some wonderful people and Braden fits right in!

Here is the little screamer, he is just so excited he cannot help himself. This place is so much fun and the instructors are so creative. Its amazing the little activities and exercises they have the kids do, I would have never thought of these myself. Most are so simple but they teach the kids how to use their bodies and their muscles. I wish I could have my own little session, really I do but I already asked and they can only teach up until age 18. What a rip off!!

The Train Ride

We decided to go back to Huckelberry Farm and take Braden on the Train ride. Last weekend the weather was beautiful but of course tonight wasnt looking too pretty, it was raining like crazy. Braden saw the smoke and heard the horn from the train while we were getting tickets and he was so excited! We got on the train (luccily it is inclosed) and we went on our Haunted Train Ride! They had put up hundreds of decorations all along the path and Braden LOVED it!! I was so happy he finally got to ride the train.
