October with the Wendelschafer’s

I sometimes feel like my blog is haunting me… its been to long… so here’s the highlights from the past couple of weeks….

Chloe and Connor just being silly…. (its not a great picture but I love that Chloe looks like a gangster pirate.)

One day while Curtis was down for his nap in the swing Chloe decided to put her baby down for a nap and she snuggled with Curtis.. what a good Mama in training…

We gave Curtis one half of an Oreo cookie and when I turned around like 3 seconds later this is what a found… silly boy….

This is Curtis cheering on Connor at his soccer game last weekend. Go Connor!! Very dedicated brother :)

Mooommmm.. not another picture……

A preview to Halloween!! Connor insisted on me taking a picture… .Chloe is apart of the Spiderman crew as well.. but you’ll have to wait for the complete package!!

Curtis discovered his tongue 2 weeks ago and we always find him sticking his tongue and just playing with it all the time now…. it’s made for some silly/wet kisses now *

Every Sunday morning I think to myself that I need to get Connor some new ties.. his are either too short, broken, or just don’t work… so I was going through my pinterest account and found a tutorial from a long time ago and attempted it.. I made 5 ties and they came out much better than expected!!! Connor was impressed and very excited about them!

I had Connor try this first one I made on to see how well it fit (since I do all my sewing at night while the kids are sleeping) and he liked it so much that he wanted to wear it to school. He wore the Frog one the next day to school!!

 

I couldn’t resist making the frog tie… It makes me think of Grandpa Miller with his frog pin… ah Grandpa, we love you! xoxo.

More Soccer pics, this is Chloe and her friend Eliana… They are our Cheerleaders.

Connor and his good friend Connor Given (He’s in our ward). Coach calls them Connor G and Connor W.

Coach Fred prepping the Fire Sharks!! Connor is #3.

My little Stud. Love you Bud… oooh.. so cute.

This weekend we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary. Saturday after Connor’s soccer game we rested and then took the kids over to Grandma Theresa’s house to play. Kiel and I had some alone/peaceful time together. We didn’t do much or had a specific plan, it was just nice to be spontaneous and relaxed together. We went and saw a movie and went to dinner at one of our favorite spots. We had a wonderful time… We went back got the kids… they were ready for bed by the time we got home. So they went off to bed by 8pm and Kiel and I laid in bed, snuggled and watched the Oregon Ducks football game. A great way to spend an evening. 

This morning I had a mission to get the kids to be more reverent during General Conference… so I was prepped and ready to go. I had a packet of coloring pages and crafts. I also saw this idea on pinterest and tried it out. Each of these bowls had a treat in them and for every time the kids heard one of these words they got to go get a treat. I kinda helped them out in the beginning but from then on they were on their own.. Connor did pretty good, even Chloe chimed in a couple of times. Next time I will change up the treats.. maybe not so much candy.. but overall it was a success… It was a great conference.

It was a wonderful weekend… and I owe it to my wonderful husband. It’s been an amazing 7 years. There are a lot of challenges in this life but our relationship is defiantly not one of them. It’s the one solid thing I have in my life and for that I am so grateful. As my Grandma Miller tells me… I was so lucky to have found you! (Thanks Grandma…..) I wouldn’t go back and change a thing…Love you!!!
