Kindergarten Pictures

Our first official school pictures are in! The first round was a no go for us. I mean, come on! An adult couldn't have fixed this hair do right quick? So we sent these back and sent Evan in for retakes...

....Taa Daa! Still not as super duper handsome as we all know this kid is, but at least someone splashed some water on his bed head this go 'round (Brian). And he is one tooth short in this one.

Stay tuned for the Bibs' first pics!

Teething Bros

We've know for a few weeks that Emmett was working on some teeth and lo and behold, today I can feel the ridge of the first one popping through! You can't really see anything yet, just a line and some white underneath (nothing photo worthy just yet).

But the most fun part of the teething is that Evan is getting THE SAME TOOTH! Bottom front right.

Our toofy boys.

The Pumpkin Carve

The pumpkins, awaiting their destinies.

Brian had the longest To Do list. With a non carving wife and three kids....he's got a mean case of Carver's Elbow today.

Contemplating technique.

Andrew carving his Minnesota pumpkin. Which he kindly donated to our front porch. Which now has 5 pumpkins. And another one on the way.

Babee on pumpkin gutting duty.

Andie & Boo. You can tell this picture was taken PRE-Vikes game by the smile and thumbs up.

Hollan wanted a Turbo pumpkin.

And of course, her daddy delivered.

The masterpieces: MN, Turbo & Angry Birds.

Halloween Warm Up

Last weekend was the big pumpkin hunt at Great Grandma's.

Found it.

Boom.

Evan helping Emmett out and finding his pumpkin.

Gearing up to decorate the yard for Halloween!

Taking a popcorn break.

Kiddos pose with He Man before he heads out for a night mastering the universe. She Ra had to stay home with recovering kids.

Our Vikings! Let it never be said that we are fair weather fans!

Not that it will help any but we will still rock the jerseys any given Sunday. Skol Vikes.

Emmett - Four + Months

Emmett was officially four months last Friday. These were his stats:

Head: 16.25cm - 25%

Weight: 11lbs 11oz - 3%

Height: 25.25" - 63%

So while Emmett is growing, he is still our little string bean. Actually, a french green bean, the really skinny ones.

The doctor suggested we start Emmett on baby food to boost his calories a bit. So now once a day Emmett gets a "smoothie" which consists of baby food with rice cereal and breast milk. He loves it! Since Friday, his weight has jumped to 12lbs 1oz. So I can only assume that we are on our way to having a real beefcake. Ha.
