The Nugget
Kate is growing up so fast. She's getting to be a great communicator and is a ham just like her father! Evan and Kate have kind of become friends (finally!) which is a welcome relief. They still fight, but she loves him to death and they both love getting into trouble together! Her newest interest are puzzles, books (of course), Peppa Pig, and picking out and changing her clothes throughout the day. The latest drives me nuts! I'm used to a boy. I hand him his clothes and he puts them on. He does not care what they are- easy! Kate is into picking out her own clothes which is great on the days we don't have anyplace to go, but on the few days where I would like her to look cute- it's usually a power struggle. But I will admit- she is so excited to put on her chosen outfit- that I kind of don't care. She is so proud of herself for doing it by herself. She is way more independent than Evan- which is a good and bad thing. It's nice to be needed, but after she finishes her task she'll yell "self" and "yeah" across the house! Her favorite song to sing is 'Skip to my lou". It sounds more like "gip, gip, gip to OOOOO". Yeah, we think its pretty cute! She loves to "jump bed" with Evan. We recently put them in big kid beds in their room and it's funny how good of pals they are at bedtime. I love hearing them laugh and play. Best sound in the world! Kate- we love you very much!
Christmas
We had a great Christmas this year- I hate the order of these pics but I'm too lazy to change them! I have got to be better about posting and taking pics! I just get so overwhelmed when I see a maze of photos that need to be edited. But I decided to start anew, barely edit and just post the pics! We went up to Pinetop, AZ with Paul's half of the family and had a blast! Evan rarely made an indoor appearance! We ate a LOT of good food, played some games, had a little drama, and tired ourselves out. I have a love/hate relationship with traveling with small kids, but all in all the good memories outweigh the bad!

Pumpkin Patch
This year we did take a family trip to the pumpkin patch, but sadly we have no pics to document it. That's what you get when you go with a tired baby and a crazy boy! This is Evan's field trip to the pumpkin patch with his school. This is always an eventful trip, but this year is his last year in preschool so I wanted to make sure I captured it. I can't believe he's getting so big. All parents feel this way, but crazy as he is I love his little guts!
Halloween 2011
So basically Paul handled Halloween. I had the chance to go to San Francisco for the weekend and I took it! Most of the pics are off the iPhone so they aren't top quality, but hey a memory is captured none the less. Paul ended up taking the kids up to HB for some fun with our old friends the Ebmeyers. Thanks guys for hosting the party! They drew on pumpkins and went to a trunk or treat. Evan was really into Halloween this year. He looked forward to dressing up and was all about trick or treating. I made it home on Monday (Halloween) and handled that part of it. Thanks to Paul for giving this mom a weekend off and handling the holiday yourself. I think its safe to say a great time was had by all!
