Thanksgiving

Payton had her class Thanksgiving performance on Tuesday! This year she was a Native American! I think she looked adorable in her vest and feathers!Patiently waiting to start the show!

Singing her little heart out!

Each child put a leaf on the tree and told the audience what they were thankful for! Payton said she was thankful for her family!

With Grandma A.

and Uncle

Grandma P.

and her family...

Payton with her amazing Teacher Debbie!

This year for thanksgiving it was our turn to be with Karl's side of the family! When it was just us two we could do both families but now with the kids we do every other year, which works out great! Right as we were arriving Karl's grandparents were leaving but we got a quick visit and Grandma Sherri got in a quick Parker squeeze before they headed off to their other family.

Uncle Neal and Aunt Jill hosted a great lunch with delicious ham and ribs! Parker enjoyed sweet potatoes!

The girls

Check out those Big Blues!!

After lunch we made a trip home for a few hours then we headed to Karl's Grandma Pacheco's for Turkey dinner!

Paige reminds me so much of myself at that age, I LOVE olives and used to do the same thing!

Playing a game of candy land with Daddy!

Parker and Great Grandma Pacheco

Uncle Gary is a big kid himself and kept the girls amused for quite a while!

This year we have SO much to be thankful for! I will have to agree with Payton, I am thankful most for our amazing family! I don't know what we would do without them and all of their love!

A month of Firsts!

I am 5 Months old!Diapers: Size 2

Clothes: Size 6 months, some 9 months

I drink 6oz bottles and started rice cereal!

I am now sleeping in my Big Boy crib! Despite Mommy's efforts I am a belly sleeper and cant help but enjoy all the room I have to spread out! I wake up at least once in the middle of the night to eat.

I am rolling everywhere! I can get to wherever/whatever I want now!

I am starting to sit up for longer and longer and still enjoy my jumparoo!

I grab at EVERYTHING, if mommy and daddy are holding m they have to clear everything within reach! My favorite thing to grab is my sisters hair ;) Right now they think it is funny but I am sure that wont last forever!

I went to my Cousin Ellerie's Baptism! Afterwards I hung out with the guys and watched some football!

I had my first trip to the Pumpkin Patch!

Mommy gave me my first "unofficial" haircut! She couldn't stand it so she trimmed the back and around my ears (photography by Payton)

I had my first taste of rice cereal! The first few times I just spit it out but now I like it and open my mouth for more! My sisters LOVE feeding me!

Yummy!

I "helped" Mommy and my sisters carve pumpkins! (OK I really just grabbed and pulled at everything but I was trying to help)

I am now sleeping in my
Big Boy Crib! I love all the space I have but always end up snuggled into one corner

I had so much fun watching all of the kids trick or treating! After a while it was time for a snooze!

(I also love sitting in my stroller like a big boy! So much more to see!)It was an exciting Month!

Happy Halloween from Team Pacheco!

Even Hello Kitty got a taste!Payton and her buddy Shayla at their class party!The girls had so much fun carving pumpkins this year! Payton did one all by herself, start to finish and did a great job! Paige just wanted to color on them and poke holes ;)Mommy loves carving pumpkins, The girls requested Hello Kitty's this yearWe went to our friends house for our annual Trick or Treating!

Go Team Pacheco!The girls wanted to be cheerleaders (Paige had one stipulation, she wanted to be a purple cheerleader!) Luckily I found cute PURPLE costumes online. It actually worked out well because Karl's college football team was Purple and Gold!I ordered Parker a "jersey" with Daddy's favorite number and PACHECO on the back. My mom found him white pants and I couldn't not put those adorable little cleats on him! (They were from his build a bear hahah!)My Girls...This one is my favoritePaige and "Coach" KarlI was the referee, just like every other day! haha!Payton counted her candy the next day, 122 Pieces! (It was actually more but mommy and daddy snuck a few pieces after the girls went down)Parker tried so hard to get some too!Hope you all had a fun Halloween!
