NOVEMBER

Classic Skate with Tina and Gavin Wissinger:

Hayden absolutely LOVES playing with Gavin, so I had to include some video from Gavin and Hayden hanging-out at Classic Skate. It's not the most interesting video, but I know that Hayden will want to watch it over and over again.

I find these pictures hilarious.

Hayden INSISTED that he needed to skate with Gavin. It was so much fun to watch.
(am I a mean mom?)

As you can tell from the picture, it didn't go like Hayden had planned.

Lazy Days at the Quigley House:

First Snow of November

More Marble Works

Jocelyn Chillin'

(look at those thunder thighs)

Enjoying the Warm Weather:
Utah never has dependable weather.
One day it snows, and the next we are out playing with only a jacket. 

Daddy was working outside, so we took the 4-wheeler for a little spin in the yard (the only benefit for not having your yard finished)

Cousin Dinners:

Jocelyn and Aunt Kimmy

Jocelyn Rolls Both Ways:

It's so cute to see Hayden be a big brother.
He is always looking out for Jocelyn and trying to teach her new things.

After all the football excitement, Hayden came to me and said,
"Mom, a football is a ball with elbows" :)

Preparing for the Feast:

Blake, Jocelyn, and Nana

WE MAKE 'EM, TO COOK 'EM:

Hayden with a side of carrot

Jocelyn ALWAYS with a glass of milk:

"I don't want to be eaten"

Just think of it as a warm bath:

"Oh! That's not too bad."

And top it off with a little Sammer:

"My Mommy would never eat me, I'm too cute."

Well, if we can't eat them, then they can be little helpers:

Mommy's little Cooking Helper

Nana and Hayden making Cookie Turkeys:

Which Turkey is Cutest?

Hayden got ahold of the camera on Thanksgiving. I ended up with a lot of pictures of "The Black Abyss". But I kept this picture:

Hi Megan!
Maybe Hayden is aspiring to be an abstract photographer!?

The Quigley Cousins:

Jocelyn, Hayden, and Sam

Hayden's Room Make-Over:

While Pops visited for Thanksgiving, he put bead board in Hayden's room. Thank you Pops!

OCTOBER

Wow! Life changes when you have 2 kids. I need a lot more arms and hours.

I love blogging, but I love my kids more. So instead of blogging I'm feeding, reading, holding, watching, and loving my little ones. My blog has suffered but I'm ready to play catch-up and remember all the memories we're creating.

Enjoy some photos and videos from the month of October:

How Cute!?!

Family Picture

Hayden's Candy Haul:

It's was pretty sad how little candy he got, (I remember the days when I could fill a pillow sack), but he didn't care. He was so excited with ALL of his candy. He was in Awe for several minutes.

Halloween Video:

Brian's 29th Birthday

Brian celebrated his 29th Birthday in September. Hayden was so excited. And the cutest thing was that he knew the drill (cake, candles, Happy Birthday song, presents...). Here is a video of our little family celebration.

(it's kinda long, but I had a hard time cutting things cause Hayden was so adorable and excited)

Nana: Did you recognize your Birthday Cheese Cake? Or as Hayden named it: Big Cake, Candy Cake, Giant Cake (take your pick).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN!

Jocelyn at 2 months

I know I'm really late with this post, but "better late than never, right?".

Here are some things about Jocelyn at 2 months:

At her Dr. appt so weighed 9 lbs 12 ounces (that's the same as her cousin Sam at birth!!) and she was 22 inches long.

The Dr. said more Tummy Time, so Hayden helped out.

"Tummy Time is so much more fun with a friend."

Jocelyn Loves her Brother! She gets the biggest smiles when Hayden gives her attention and she will track him around the room.

Hayden loves to help with his "Lil' Sweetie",

but he's not the best babysitter, yet!

Jocelyn's swing has the most annoying music IN THE WORLD, but Hayden loves to play with the buttons and turn it on. So whenever Jocelyn is in the swing Hayden will turn on the music for her and she LOVES it. I HATE it. But once in awhile, when I can't get Jocelyn to calm down, I will put her in the swing and turn on the music. :)

(What us mom's will do for a little peace and quiet, plus a little music).

Another Love is the Bath...

Since birth, Jocelyn has always loved the bath. Whenever she is colicky I can count on the bath to calm her down.

As long as the car is moving...

...Jocelyn will be asleep.

Jocelyn is not the biggest fan of tummy time

(unless someone is on the floor with her)...

So she has learned to roll from her front to her back.

She can also scoot herself around the room.

BEGINNING:

1 MINUTE LATER...

(She will tuck her knees up to her belly and push-off)

I usually don't know that she is scooting, until I hear her crying because she is stuck or has hit her head on something. :(

She is a very social baby.

I think her ALL TIME favorite activity is to stand on my lap to talk and smile...

(It's one of my favorite activities too).

When Jocelyn really gets a talkin' she will suck in air and make a high-pitch breath. I like to think it's her first little laugh.

Neither Jocelyn or I would be sane without a "Swaddle Me" (it's a receiving blanket with velcro). She can't sleep without being swaddled, and these blankets ensure that she is wrapped nice and tight. I think she looks like a little Pea Pod and Brian says she's a Glow Worm, either way she super cute.

She sleeps about 5 1/2 hours at night! I feed her around 11:30pm and she doesn't wake up til 5:30am. I feel so lucky to get sleep, especially so I can keep-up with Mr. Bo-Bayden.

Another trick that we have discovered is GRIPE WATER. Jocelyn will get the hick-ups or an upset tummy (she goes stiff like a board and will moan, it's super sad). But we use a little gripe water and within 5 minutes she has a huge belch and then she's as happy as can be. Brian calls it "Miracle Water", and I would agree!

We love our little "Josh-Win", but who won't with those

BIG BEAUTIFUL EYES?
