Disney World!

So we went to Disney World for the first of many (I hope) trips just last week. We had breakfast at the castle with the princesses and lunch with the Winnie the Pooh and friends. The pictures speak for themselves!

Mark and Lexi

They were the best of friends, the were the worst of friends....

Thats how I describe Lexi and Mark. They fight like siblings but they sure love each other! Lex was in town a whole month and I have very few pictures as most of the time the two of them were together was while I was sleeping or at work. Anyway, here are a few of them one night while waiting on their dinner.

I would say, "Make your scared face." "Make your silly face." etc. But they never seemed to have the same "face." Still funny pics!

Oh, and I had to throw this one in. The made up a game where they each had a cowboy hat on and they had to share Mark's one and only pair of slippers.

Just one of the punkins

Thought I would share the kids' Halloween costumes and our brief pumpkin patch visit today. We win worst parents award for taking them to the most boring pumpkin patch ever, but neither of them seemed to mind so maybe we just got off easy!

So this first pic I know looks pretty random, but we had some guys pulling out a huge tree root ball before they planted a new tree in its place. And Mark LOVES to watch the workers. See his front row spot? He is really into construction. In fact, I've been scouring the internet and catalogs for a good construction kit to get him for christmas.

Grandma Brown came through town last week on her way home from Jackson Hole. It was great to see her for a few days. I had to go to work, so Kate and I missed out on the pictures but here is Mimi, Grandma Brown, Linds, and Gracie. Beautiful girls!

And I'm sure you've all already seen this one! She's MY beautiful girl!

And now, for what you've all been waiting for! For Kate's very first Halloween, she is going to be........

Spiderman!

Just kidding! She just wanted to try on Mark's mask the other day! =)




We got a "new" toy out of the attic for Kate yesterday. Mark likes to "help" her with it!

Oh yes folks....its batman this year!

And now for some pumpkin patch pics. We weren't there long but I took about 60 some pictures in true Beverly style!

Its a little difficult to get a good pic of Mark. He was too busy conquering the piles of pumpkins (they were his pirate ship) to smile. We are constantly playing Jake and the Neverland Pirates (Disney show) around here. Mark is Jake of course, I'm Izzy, Rocky is Cubby, Mobely is Captain Hook, and Kate is baby. Yes, in our version there is a baby!

Speaking of imaginations, Mark told a few of the mom's at playgroup yesterday that he had a bike race the night before and he won. He said it was in Oklahoma City and some of his friend's from Africa also raced in it. Hmmmm. Then when I had him tell the story to John, it was a grass (cross bike) race in Mexico while John and I were sleeping, and Britton and Leyton were there. I thought it was too funny that the Garcia's were in the Mexico version!!!! =)

Anyway, the pumpkin patch pics...

Whoever knew that Mr "deer-in-the-headlights" baby would have squinty eyes? It was bright though..

She's our little punkin!

Like I said, just one of the punkins!

I'm a Rock Star!

Hey - did I mention we saw a moose on the side of the road in Winter Park? Here he is!

This week is Homecoming at Mark's new little school so the its called "Spirit Week" and each day has a special dress up theme. Well, loser mom here forgot to take pictures except for one day. But Monday was pajama day. It was hysterical to show up and see all the kids playing on the playgroud with socks and shoes on in their pj's! Mark especially cracked me up since he wears the tight fitted pj's. He had on striped bottoms and a green shirt with a penguin on it and of course, his tennis shoes. Looked funny - too bad you don't get to see it!

Tuesday was Rock Star Day and Mark wore a black rock star looking shirt and did his hair extra-spikey. See below. I forget how handsome he is because I'm usually too busy trying to find a discipline strategy that works! And today was Fashion Disaster (or mix match) Day. He wore two different tennis shoes, two different socks, hideous green, brown, and yellow plaid shorts, and a black batman t-shirt. I didn't let him out of the house when we got home cause he looked like an orphan! Again, no pics, sorry.

Mark also got a new rain jacket the other day. He likes it cause it comes with a little stuff bag. Poor kid - I'm being a real miser lately with money so I keep buying him things he can grow into - he always looks like he's wearing hand-me-downs! Its just that he wears a size 4T, but in the children's section a size 4 is bigger than a 4t. And size small is 4-6. I don't want to buy an extra small that he may fit into for another month and thats it! Wow - so far this blog is super boring!

And now, the princess. Squash is sooo good.

Go Broncos!

She had flushed cheeks one morning which really made those blue eyes shine!

I sing her "She's my little K-K" to the tune of "I'm a little teapot" when I get her out of the bath. I look super cheesy in this pic, but isn't she cute in her piggy towel?
And yes, the real reason for the blog update! Her 6 month bear rug shot! She's a long string bean for sure! She weighs 15 lbs and is 26 inches long. She really looks like one of my baby pictures in this shot - don't you think Mom?
