Night out as a Fam

This Monday we went to see Harlem Globetrotters. It was a lots of fun for the kids. I wish I could say the same for me. I was happy, I was with my favorite people, but disappointed, for it was SO loud that Ryder was screaming every-time I walked into the gym. Dang it! O well, I got good work out going up and down the stairs in the hallways!
I love those two! They are so handsome!
Well, for those of you who doesn't know our Brooklyn....THIS.... is pretty much sums her up!
See what I mean!

My Creative Husband

My good friend saw this idea on line and dare to share it at the book club....little did she know that I will be stilling it for my kids valentine. Thanks Nakole for not getting mad at me.
After telling what I wanted for our kids to bring to school this year, my very creative husband went to work and seriously spent hours coming up with what you see here.
Thank you Troy for the hard work, it turn out really cute!

He is 4 months today!

My sweet little guy is 4 months today! He is the sweetest little baby. He loves to gargle-talk. Loves to nib on his fist. Loves his brother and sisters. So easy to smile. Ticklish when we change his clothes. Just rolled over last night. He loves to eat and get so excited when he sees his babba.
We love you sweet pea! Happy 4 mo. birthday!

Not an easy job

I was laughing so hard when I saw this.

Big Sister

First Snow

My little artist

Both of those projects are hers.

This was made on the fabric.

The top one is hers. She was making Buffalo skin and then painting on it.

Rylee had her first art gallery last night. We were really excited to see what she has been doing every Monday after school. I love all of her projects. She was very proud to show and tell about each of them. Go Rylee!!!

My Fall Baby

The best dad ever!!!

One of the reasons why I love Troy so much is the kind of father that he is. The other day I came to the house just to find him in this little tent, playing some puppy game with Brooklyn. It just melt my heart.

Talent in making

Rylee and Lily tend to always come up with something creative to do. After making banana bread (on their own...which by the way turn out very good) they made up a song about having a bad day.

Buds

My two boys on the beautiful hike up at Sundance canyon. I have never been there, but looking at the pictures makes me want to go. Our kids always enjoy one on one dates. They were gone for a long time and sure enjoyed home made chicken noodle soup latter when they got home.

Ryder is ONE month old

(sorry for the photos, we do need new camera)

I can't believe how fast time has gone by. My little dude is already one month old. I just want to scream and ask time to slow down. Our little babies grow so fast.

Ryder is a sweet little guy, he loves his mamma (smile), loves to cuddle, he smiles about 10 times a day and Troy managed to get him giggle a few times...it is truly music to our years....He's such a gift and I am so lucky to have him.

Happy Halloween !!

Dad never fails in his artistry of pumpkin curving...

Rylee trying to be scary. She was a vampire, though I don't think she liked wearing those fake teeth.The minute Brooklyn wear her Cinderella dress, her mind emerged into a dream land...she was walking around talking to her imaginary friends and asking them if they thought she was lovely....Both Rylee and Drew were just looking at me like, mom, is she ok? I just love that girl, she truly has a gift of being happy.

Drew got sick, sick, sick...poor kid, he had to stay home and couldn't even eat any candy...

Can I please some how get those eye lashes....they are sooo long. People were keep asking her if those were fake ones... I don't think she will ever have to wear a mascara.

My scary vampire!

Ryder Wren Patti 9/30/09 9 lbs. 21"

My sweet babies!!

They say babies don't smile at this age....boo hoo....I KNOW that is not true. Ryder smiles a lot and it is not from gas.

Toes, are my fav in babies
Bubbles for his mamma
How grateful I am for my healthy boy and my awesome husband who did wonderful job playing "mom" while mom was in the hospital.... Thank you babe, I love you .
