Pumpkin Carving

Carving pumpkins with three chrildren under the age of 4 is no easy task! We had a good time though, and lots of good laughs. As the kids dug into their pumpkins they squirmed when they felt the gooey inards. Poor Dallin does not like his hands to be dirty. He would wipe his hand on the towel every time he pulled some slimy pumpkin seeds out. Eventually he came up with a better plan...he held the wet washcloth in his hand as he dug out the seeds. He was so proud of himself, he said "look Mom, now I don't get my hands yucky", clever kid eh.

Jackie had a lot of fun, especially at the end when we turned every light off in the house and lit the Jack-O-Laterns - that was exciting. Brea was mainly curious about what was going on, she wanted to be in the middle of it all, although she was good not to "get her hands dirty".

I just love Holidays, it gives us an excuse to have some fun with family and friends. The kids look forward to even the littlest things, like carving pumpkins. Happy Haloween!

Brea is Walking!

Honestly the reason I had to start this blog today was that Brea started walking - Finally! She is just barely 15 months and has not had any desire to walk. She does an awesome bear crawl, and get from point A to point B in no time flat. But tonight she decided she would walk. It was different from are other kids, she just decided to walk and took about ten steps perfectly. It is as if she wanted to wait until she could do it with perfect balance, she needed to be sure of herself. Well, we are just thrilled she has decided to take the step. Our baby is growing up!

Hello Blogging...Here we go!

As you can see, we are new to this whole BLOG thing! We think it is a great way to stay in contact, and a fun way to record the life of us Cramers. What a fun time to start with all the holidays coming. Haloween is almost upon us and our kids are sooo excited - be prepared for pictures of a bunny, tiger, and bear coming soon.
