The Hoopes!

Here are some pictures that I took of my sister and her cute little family. We took them Thanksgiving morning. It was colder than a witches tit that day, but we were still able to capture a good picture or two.

Love ya sis, and that cute little Elli belly too.

Sign Language!

Boden has been showing me some of his sign language skills the past two days. I guess since he can't really talk yet, he has other means of communication. This one he is saying: "No more pictures mom." Or maybe "Shame, Shame." Probably the latter one.

3 months old and already flipping the bird. Not sure if he is pissed at me or maybe he is telling me there is no "freaking" way he is going out in the cold -17 degree weather today. Either way, he is getting spankins for this gesture.

And here he is ending on a good note. Too dang cute.

I LOVE THIS KID!

VIKES!

Nate is a huge Vikings fan. Most of the time they are a big disappointment too. But this year, I can actually feel safe in dressing my boy in Minnesota attire without thinking that he is being laughed at or might be spit on. It is a nice change to have them doing well so my husband can be a happy camper throughout the season for once. At least until the playoffs come, they usually choke then. Good luck Vikings! Change it around this year!

HALLOWEEN, PART DEUX!

Well here are some pictures of the kiddos in their Halloween costumes. It was fun to see all their costumes. I really didn't dress Bo up too much. Just a little onsie and a hat, but cute nonetheless.Here is little Elli in my favorite team cheerleader outfit. GO VOLS!

Little Bo lost in thought.

No sure what to think about all this.

Here are most the grandkids on Nate's side. L to R: Cade - Alien, Jace - Chicken, Bo - pumpkin, Macey & Preslie are both Fairies, and of course proud Papa Newman in the middle. Preslie sure hated Cade's costume. She was scared the whole day of him.

Cuteness again!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

The four of us from the office decided to dress up again this year. We decided to be characters from SNL. Me & Ash are Arianna & Craig of the Spartan cheerleaders. Tessa is the church lady and then of course Kasey is Mary Cathrine Gallagher. Happy Halloween!

Cousins!!

Sage loves her cousin Boden. She is going to be a good babysitter!
