proud to be an american

This is my birthday cake from work that Paul picked out. You can see the Veteran's Day theme :-) We also celebrated by playing "Proud to be an American". I have always loved that song...and it just hit me that maybe it's because my b-day is on Veteran's Day...

little mamma

Juliette loves to feed her dolls (and Doug) a bottle. On Friday morning, she found this snowman at my parents and decided to give it a bottle :-) Such a little momma...

Happy Birthday to ME :-)

Happy Birthday to ME! It's kind of a bummer because Joey is sick and has no voice, but it's still my birthday :-) Juliette and I stayed at my parents house for the night to stay away from Joey's germs (he went to the doctor today and was told to try to stay away from the baby, so we just made it easy). She is really cute...

apparently this is really funny to her...(biting on her spoon)

laughing at the faces grampa is making to get her to smile

still not quite getting the self-pic thing...

WILD

...as in the hockey team :-) Joey and I got to go to a Wild game with my parents. It was nice since it was on a Friday and Joey can stay up past 8 :-) Brent and Kristine had game night, so my Aunt Debi came over to hang with Juliette at my parents house. The game was cool because we had press box passes...we weren't really sure what that meant, but we actually got our own little "booth" with 4 seats. The xcel is super steep, so we were actually 7 floors up (that's what the host told us). It was a nice night out!

winter coat

I finally got her winter coat. I think $35 was a decent price (it was on sale), and it's super cute...and big enough for the whole winter. And it's cute. Did I mention it's cute :-)

goes great with her pj's!

a house full of closets

Just when I think we're getting too big for our house...I realized all I need is a house full of closets and my kid would be happy. She's in here all the time!

Hanging with our cousins...

On Thursday we went to the Children's Museum to play with our cousins. Technically James and Teddy are my cousins, but Juliette is a little more their size :-) Last time we went to the Children's Museum we spent a lot of our time signing up and going through Spooky Hollow and then it was lunch time. This time we got to try out a bunch more of the things and spend more time playing!

Getting ready to splash

all done!

One of the nicest things about going there is you don't have to go outside...our garage to indoor parking, to the skyway...NICE! This will be awesome in the winter!! Thanks to kelly for calling us to go out!

my little celebrity

Look at my little star...talking and waving...LOVE IT ;-)

VOTE!

We voted! Did you?

Halloween at home...

After a quick nap from our drive, we were off on our Halloween tour! We stopped at the Davern's, at Great Grandma and Grandpa Ungers, at my parents, and then at Karen's (daycare). Juliette was SO GOOD considering she only napped for about an hour the whole day! We did manage to get a nice family picture and Juliette got some good loot :-)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
