Pearly Whites

Here are some pictures of our pumpkin brushing those toofies! We always brush them for her, but in order for her to open her mouth wide enough we have to get her to say "ahh!" We love it. And when she sees us brushing ours, she says "ahh!" for us to make sure we're doing it right. The other night I let her get some practice in on her own after I finished the real work. =) And might I add that she's gotten lots of new teeth in recently, too.

Our Bekah Bee

We dressed Rebekah up for the Fall Festival at church last Tuesday, and she was SO stinkin' cute! She did really well and didn't even try to take anything off and she didn't get uncomfortable or anything! Jason and I volunteered to work a booth that night while my mom and dad let Rebekah walk around and do some of the games. So, my mom has all the pictures from that. Until I can get my hands on them, though, here are pictures from Friday night. Jason had to work, so I took Rebekah to my sister's house and my parents met up with us and we took the kids trick or treating down her street. It was pretty fun because most houses had a game or "booth" set up, carnival style. There was bobbing for apples, a cake walk, ring toss, etc. The boys really enjoyed themselves and it was fun to watch. Then we all piled in her car and went to a different neighborhood to see one of her friends from church.

Aunt Sis gave Bekah a tiny bag to trick or treat with, and she LOVED it! She had so much fun opening it up and letting people put candy and treats in it. She won everyone over when she walked up and pointed to what she wanted and then said "bye bye" to them.

Bobbing for apples....(I had never thought about how unsanitary this was until now...gross!)

Trick or treat!

What's in here?

This was at the end of the night when we got back to Cristina's house....Priceless!

Fun with Daddy's Toys and a visit with Granna

Granna came over on the 16th for a visit. (She hadn't seen our apartment, and we may or may not have borrowed her steam cleaner and kept it for way too long and so she might have wanted it back. =) So we were super excited for her to come over and chat with us and love on Rebekah for a little while. Jason shared swat training stories and showed us all the stuff they have to carry and the fun "toys" they get to play with. Rebekah had fun playing with them too! The first picture is of his training bag (seriously, it could fit a dead body in there!) that Rebekah kept standing in and then jumping out of (with Granna's help). She also tried on the mask and thought that the headset was a phone. She kept saying, "Hewo?" and was putting the wrong part up to her ear.

**By the way, Granna (J's mom) also left for Portland last Tuesday to see a specialist for her inner ear problems she's been having for a really long time now. She's there for 2 weeks, while they run tests and see what they can determine and what they can do for. Please, please, keep her and the family in your prayers!**

Boxes

Here are a some pictures from a few weeks ago. We made a trip to Sam's to stock up on a few things, and we used several of the boxes in these pictures to carry them into the house. Rebekah found one she particularly liked the most and since she likes to sit on everything like a chair, it was perfect. She likes to carry around bags or purses and tell us "bye bye" and head for the door. Then she'll play with the zippers on her bags and open and close them and put things in them. Sometimes she'll even include her play phone and my keys. She's not quite tall enough to open the doors yet (Thank the Lord!) but she thinks she is. =) The bag she has in these pictures is her lunch box. It was too funny!

The Dentist

Jason and I got our teeth cleaned last Thursday morning. Thankfully, our dentist is located right over by where my mom and dad live, so while Jason got his teeth all sparkly fresh, I was able to take Olivia and Rebekah over to my parents' house to watch tv and eat a snack. Of course my parents were both at work, but it was so nice to just veg for a little while. When he was done and it was my turn, he had someone come look at our car. (Long story short, our Jetta's been having some problems and we were referred to a guy who is a mobile service, so he came to us). Anyway, Jason had the girls sit at this little table and "color" (this was the first time for Rebekah to even hold a crayon, I think). They look so big!
