Just some pics

AARGH

So I just want to preface this by saying I LOVE MY DAUGHTER, but sometimes I want to strangle her!!!  She is getting to that stage where the questions start coming.  And ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY I hear "what are you doing?"  Tonight Roxy and I were making sugar cookies and rolling them out and using cookie cutters and ever half step I made "what are you doing?" "what are you doing"  And I try to be a good mommy and I answer her almost everytime.  But sometimes I just want her to stop talking.  Remember a few months ago when I was so excited that she was starting to put together sentences.  Well I'm no longer excited.

ANIMAL ADVENTURE

When we had some family in town this week, we went over to the Armand Bayou WildLife Park.  This is a 86 acres animal park.  It has rhinos, lemur, goats, zebras, buffalo, giraffe, deer, ostrich, emu, all kinds of wild animals and they take you on a tram through the habitat and you get to feed the animals.  Rich and step-dad love this place, they have both been three times.  Unfortunately for me, Roxy loves it too.  (It does not smell very good in there)

Here are Roxy and Roscoe feeding the camels

How often do you get to pet a water buffalo

Hook'em Horns

That Ostrich got out bucket

How pretty

Roxy loved feeding the animals and had a great time. Check out our http://youtube.com/hammfamily to see the kids feeding the wild life.

pumpkin Patch

We went to local church to pick out our pumpkins

this year and had a pretty good time.  It it no Bishops 

Pumpkin farm, but the kids enjoyed looking at all the 

pumpkins.  Roxy was very proud of herself when she 

finally found one she could lift.

Roxy liked playing the drums on the pumpkins.

It was impossible to get a picture of the two of them 

looking at the camera at the same time

AAHHHH

So today when I was grocery shopping with the fam, there in the freezer section was the thing I look forward to all year, the thing that lets me know christmas is around the corner.  Peppermint ice cream.  This is by far my favorite ice cream and just tasting it lets me know I need to start getting my shopping done and thinking about cards to send and fun activities to do with the kids this year.  Just wanted to let everyone know that Christmas is officially here!!!

A Bobbing good time

On Monday my friend Babbi, had a little get together at her house to make halloween cookies with all of our kids.  So we went and the kids got dressed up and we had so much fun.  We were going to make carmel apples that night as well,  BUT I forgot the carmel was on the stove and burnt it.  So Babbi suggested that we bob for apple with the apples we were going to use.  I honestly thought it was not a great idea because I did not think that two year olds would bob for apples.  Man was I was wrong.  They had the best time.  Roxy actually stuck her face in there and really tried to get that apple.  There is a video on http://youtube.com/hammfamily  if you are interested, but you should totally check it out.  I was so proud of her.

He can crawl

So roscoe has been crawling for about 6-8 weeks BUT he has only been able to move backwards.  Well ladies and gentlemen the kid can move forwards!!!!!  Yesterday during daycare he started making a move for another kids lunch and moved forward 2 crawls.  Then when daddy got home Roxy was eating a cupcake and left it on the floor, and Boulder made 3 crawls toward the cup cake.  So Rich got a video this morning of him crawling towards some Puffs (baby cheetohs).  Now do you sense a pattern here.  Food.  Next we will work on him crawling with no food involved.  Wish us luck.
