Catch!

Yesterday, Mallory (the little mother hen) was trying to get Isaiah's attention so she could hand him his cup of milk. Isaiah was really into playing with his toys and wouldn't give his little sister the time of day.

Mallory: Here Isaiah. Here's your milk. Isaiah, here's your milk. Here's your milk, Isaiah. Isaiah, here's your milk.

The next thing I saw was Mallory toss the milk cup at Isaiah and say...Catch, Isaiah!

It was so funny!

Just Like Mommy

The fun new thing in our house is to dress-up in Mommy's jacket and shoes. Even Isaiah joined in the fun! Real boys can handle wearing pink...around the house anyway! :)

All I Want For Christmas Is...

Both kids have had tons of fun "reading" all of the toy ads that have come in the newspaper and mail. Mallory is making her top selections...

Blizzard Aiden

Well, if today had been a school day, it would have been a snow day for sure! I have yet to find out how many inches of snow Blizzard Aiden brought to Appleton, but the bigger problem is the wind blowing it all around!

Tim woke up early to clear the driveway, so he could get to church. Unfortunately, betweeen the time he cleared it and took a shower, the snow blow came by and buried in the end of the driveway. (Hate it when that happens!) Tim was able to drive his car through it and make it to church on time, though.

This storm caused the roof to collapse on the Metrodome in Minneapolis! Thank goodness no one was injured!

Early training for the boy chores...

How cute is that?!

Melts All Over Your Face and In Your Hands

I realize that all of these pictures look the same, but I thought they were awfully cute. Unlike Isaiah, Mallory has a sweet tooth. She has discovered...M&M's.

Such a serious face!

Yummy in my tummy! More! (See the sign for 'more'?)

Step away from the M&M's!

What?! All gone already?!

Oh no. How do we get some more of these?!

My thoughts - so much for melts in your mouth and not in your hands!

Neat and Tidy Playtime

Q: What is the cleanest way to play with a bazillion toys?

A: Inside the toy box, of course!

Trick or Treat!

Halloween is so much fun. It brings back so many wonderful memories from my childhood. Eating Arby's, collecting candy in pillowcases, dressing up in fun costumes...sigh...

And so, the traditions continue with my kids. :)

CANDY! Quick - let's get to the next house!

A very excited zoo keeper

Kamryn (the giraffe to the left of the zoo keeper) and our kiddos

All three kids did a great job saying, "Trick or treat!" and "Thank you!" at every house. Mallory said, "Watch your step!" every time she walked down the step on someone's porch - LOL!

3 very happy trick-or-treaters

Mommy, the lion, and the zoo keeper

Daddy, the lion, and the zoo keeper

What a fun time! We can't wait until next year! I got excellent clearance prices on the kids' costumes for next year!

Snapshots of Summer

At the rate I have been blogging (or not blogging), I will never get done sharing the rest of our summer with you if I don't do it this way. It's all of August in one post!

Aaron and Isaiah

Julie (Mallory's BFF), me, and the kiddos

Adorable dress, don't you think? Made with love especially for Mallory from Neena.

Tim's dad retired from P&G, so the above two pics of Mallory were taken at his retirement party. I wish I had taken more pictures of the cousins playing, but it was like herding cats to make sure nothing got broken at the church we were at. Not an easy situation to take pictures in...

Isaiah's favorite place to eat after spending some time in Missouri - White Castle!

Climbed in all by himself...oh goodness...

Mallory's first week at day care was short. She stayed home Thursday with a yucky, high fever. :(

LOVE this picture - We have it framed and on our work desks.

Tunnel!

Such intense facial expressions!

Another dress made by Neena - this one was handed down from Holly!

We attended several baseball games in August and September.

Hey - this would be a great Facebook profile pic!

"The Look"

Sitting still and behaving nicely...for 5 seconds - No, really, they behave great and sit through the entire game!

Busy summer!

Naturally, I forgot my camera at home the last game of the season that we went to. It was on my birthday, and check this out - we were selected to be the Kohl's Family of the Game! We were on the Jumbo-Tron jumping around, and the announcer congratulated, "The Seabaugh family from Appleton" on winning a $250 Kohl's gift card. Excellent!

You should hear him make the siren noise! When done while in the car, it's loud enough to make you want to pull to the side of the road to let the fire engine pass.

I don't know what this face is all about, but it's pretty funny.

Sigh...I love summer vacation...

Simply adorable! Mallory loves to have "pretties" put in her hair.

Baseball No :(

Our attempt to see a Cardinal ballgame in St. Louis was not very successful because of the rain. :( We sure had fun trying, though!

Mallory enjoyed dinner with her Godfather

Isaiah and Julie - Mallory named her baby 'Julie' when we returned to Wisconsin. :)

OK - let's try it... Note the cloudy sky.

Well, we can say we were here!

And we can say that we saw Ozzie Smith and Vince Coleman!

After the ceremonial first pitch, they pulled the tarps over the field. We tried to stick it out, but nearly two hours later we were getting very strong signals from the kids that they were DONE. So back to the hotel we went. :( BUT, I can still say that I was at Busch this year! :)
