Our first Gingerbread Shack!!

A lot of candy eating went into the making of this, our first gingerbread shack. And really mom was the decorator and we were the eaters. Not surprising to you I'd imagine.

We got to decorate the house full of Christmas this Tuesday, and mom was super impressed nothing was broken with all our help. And Adley had a section of streamers and had them strung up over all the kitchen cabinet handles, and zig zagged accross the upper steps handrail & banisters. Needless to say these both had to be taken down, but he was pretty pumped when we put a string of colored lights in the boys room.

Have a very merry Christmas Holiday season!!!

Love,
Adley & Nathanael

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! PHOTOS

We went to Uncle Dan's for Thanksgiving day and had a super time with our cousins Jayden and Owen. We ate tons of food and had a blast.
On Friday we went up to Memere & PaPa Kings for a sleepover. A fun time was had by all.

Tomorrow is Dec 1st, that's when mom says we can put up Christmas decorations...so we should be busy then.

And we've already watched Muppet's Christmas Carol, and Curious George Christmas. We're so ready for the Christmas season!!

Gobble Gobble!!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
We're ready at the Philips' household and we're thankful for all our wonderful friends & family.

Trick or Treat!!

Happy Halloween!!

We had a sweet night trick or treating with our friends. Alex lead the way (the musketeer) allowing Adley to ring the door bell a hand full of times, and always telling him to go faster to the next house. Nathanael and Kaycie wanted candy all the time, and really couldn't understand why it had to go in their baskets and not in thier mouths. Nathanael was a bit more insistant on this one.
After coming home Adleys candy basket was very very heavy....he must be a master trick or treater....

Love you All!!

My18 month Check-up!!

So much for having the percentiles today. I made sure to be especially cranky at the Dr's today, even just being weighed....I was a huge crank. To be fair I didn't sleep great last night, my eye teeth are making my gums swollen. Adley also had a chance to get his flu shot too, so there were lots of shots to be had. Mom is a bit fried right now, she came home and made coffee and is veging out on the couch with us.

But here are my stats.
34 1/2 inches long, 27 lbs 3oz. (Adley was 27 lbs 7 oz and 34 inches.) So I'm holding out a little bit taller and he's holding out a little bit heavier...

(At least one of my stats was 75th percentile. :) )

NEW VIDEO!!! And some new pic's in our album.

Love you guys!
Nathanael

Time to watch sesame street!!

What's up with us!!

We've not had much time for a lengthy update, so a rainy Friday afternoon is a perfect time. Here's a new video.

Adley is officially wearing 4T clothes...getting so big, and size 10 shoes fit loosely. When he's excited about something, he'll tell you all about it. I love when Dave gets home and Adley talks his ear off about something as simple as the huge lawn inflatalbe display at BJ's on check out. He tells Dad all about the Scary train, and the skeleton pirate boat....Dad got every detail a few times...just for emphasis. Adley is big into maps, and the new show on PBS Dinosaur Train.

Nathanael is wearing 2T shirts and 18m pants and size 6 shoes (he has wide feet.) He's enjoying coloring a lot more now (actually coloring not just eating the markers, colored pencils, crayons and sidewalk chalk and sucking the paint of his watercolor brush.) Mom likes colored pencils the best. he LOVES animals. He says 'ball' now, and I think 'BaBa' is brother. He is FAST and loves to run around with brother, pretty much wants to do everything brother does, and copies a lot. He loves to flip through books.

We went to the Mall today and rode the train! Fun Fun,
Time for naps for both of us!!

The Boys!

Fall Fun

And photo's to go with it.

We went apple picking this Sunday, and Dad is going to have some sweet pics up from that.


We went to the apple farm again today and petted the goats and played in the pumpkins, and Adley drove the tractor and we played on the hay bale maze. It was a sweet time!!

We'll keep you posted!!
