A Touch Of Tyrell

It seems criminal to have to wake her up to get the boys from school. 

Thanksgiving is one of my favorites. It's kind-of become the forgotten holiday. At least it seems. As soon as Halloween is over, the Christmas decorations get put up at the store and Thanksgiving no longer exists. But for me it does. And the family came to celebrate with us.  We made some turkeys before we are a real one :) I clearly dropped the ball on taking pictures this year. But they were her and it happened :)

While taking Everett's pictures Breckie literally asked when her turn was :) She's such a crack up! The week-old arm tattoo, undies showing, winking practice, hand on the hip 😍😍😍 I'm so glad she wanted a turn 😊

Everett. He's our lazy smart kid. So opposite of his parents.  He's in advanced reading... and spelling, pretty average at math but we still haven't played a sport, tied our shoes, done the monkey bars... heck, we're still working on walking up the stairs without an incentive 🙈 We have no idea why or how he's so smart. Jake and I were the kids that would rather run the mile in P.E. everyday than have to read out loud.  I feel like I try everything to help him be active. Raising Everett has been everything but easy and I'm starting to think I try too hard or care too much or something. Everett is Everett and there's only so much I can do.  And lets be honest... unless he turns out to be an olympian or a personal trainer or something, it's better that he's got the brains... although I think Jake and I turned out okay 😆 He likes to win, he's always changing rules to the game (so that he can win), eats a str...

Roxy continues to be a mini me on every level.  I have an older brother and sister just like Roxy. In the same order.  I was a pound lighter than them at birth... just like Roxy. I was the easiest child for my mom to birth. Just like Roxy My bother had a pacifier, my sister had nothing, and I sucked my finger.  Everett had a pacifier, Breckie had nothing, Roxy sucks her thumb.  Once it finally started to cool off Roxy's hands and feel have been turning purple and are cold.  Just like mine.  In high school my doctor diagnosed me with Raynauds Disease.  Basically your hands and feet overreact to the cold and your blood vessels narrow and restrict blood flow to your hands and feet. It's not serious and the only thing you can do is wear lots of clothes and stay warm. Too bad it was 85 degrees in those pictures. A true Arizona baby.  We went and bought her winter clothes and try to keep her warm, but her hands and feet ar...

Making pumpkin pie with my homie.  I didn't even regret the mess we made. I hardly ever do.  She's a pro. In fact, it's best to make things when it can just be Breckie and I. She gets a little stingy about who helps... she wants to do it all.  It turned out good too. I'm pretty sure it was eaten for breakfast the next morning :)
