the kiddies

berkeley has been a smarty pants lately....

she is learning what number are odd and even and talks about it all the time.

she asks how everything is spelled.

she loves to draw things, and is really good at it.

she loves to write letters everywhere.

she mostly just loves to learn.

beckham has really been into puzzles lately.

still no talking....that little stubborn stinker.

he loves to do his shape blocks.

and he is finally patient enough to sit through a book .
he is such a boy.

i am loving the stage the kids are at right now.

i love having 2 little toddlers that love to play with each other and wrestle.

we definitely are enjoying each others company.

halloween

we had a fun halloween weekend filled with lots of candy, family, and friends.

until next year...

i am still in shock from how much fun i just had on this 4 day excursion. we laughed so much, talked about the funniest things ever, occasionally slept, ran our hearts out, had tummy aches, peed in random places, cheered eachother on, rubbed our legs out, and had the best trip ever. these ragnars are seriously the funnest things ever. i would do them again and again if my husband would let me. i couldnt have asked for a better time!

my faves are...
