Turkey Day pictures...

We were so excited to have my sis and family in town for Thanksgiving this year.  We spent the week having fun with five cousins just five years apart!  We went to my aunt's house for dinner and the kiddos did great! Really.  Steve and I couldn't believe we both were able to sit down and actually enjoy a dinner outside of our child-proof home.  My aunt was so nice to put up her tree but NOT hang any ornaments until the following day so it wouldn't tempt one, or all three of my children~ a big thank you!  We have so much to be thankful for, and believe it or not, Steve and I spend most evenings talking about how amazing our children are to us.  Sickness has plagued the Duzan house since Sophie started preschool, but we are getting through it.  A very thankful Thanksgiving for sure...

 
I love this picture! Not perfect, but as good as it gets for this bunch! And oh how all of these kids LOVE their grandparents...such fun times at gma and papa Howard's house!

 
I know I take alot of pictures, but why do both of my men look annoyed at me taking another?? Could they look more alike? Pres's baby blues with his daddy's looks...look out all you ladies 0-18mths:)))

 
A family picture that rarely gets taken when everyone is together...it really makes me smile!!

 So, I know Pres is smiling because he has a handful of my hair in his little hand~I am smiling because I just want a picture with my 15mth old monkey!
 

 Thanksgiving was a hit...just look at that smile on Preston's face! He loves turkey and his grandma even more!!

Playing around...

So I used to refer to our days as "groundhog" days, but now I feel like everyday is a new day for sure!  The twins are learning how to get into and climb onto EVERYTHING, and Soph is becoming her own little person~complete with her own thoughts and temperment!! They are all playing so well together, and Sophie has become a very good helper.  She accepts her role as "mommy" when I run upstairs to get everybody's outfits for the day.  Like the other day I was heading down the stairs and heard her say, "Oh no Pres, you can't be up there.  Mommy won't like you up there...ohhh noo Pres!" I entered the living room with Pres on top of our tv stand pushing our flat screen back almost off the other side! I said(in a much calmer voice than I really wanted to because I didn't want to scare him), "No, no Pres..." and he just turned and smiled! He is all boy for sure.  The tv was still in one piece and I am now thinking a ranch style house would have suited us a little more during these years!                                                    
 
 
 
 
 
The monkeys have a great time at their table and love their computers!  Poor pres has to "eat and drink" off of princess plates...what's a boy to do with two sisters??

 
He even helps in the kitchen...

 
Usually its climbing all over it!!!

Thanksgiving pics to come!

 

 

 

My favorite things...

So, Oprah has hers.  I know my favorite things are my happy and healthy children, so since I haven't 
blogged in several months, I decided to just post pictures from our summer and fall.  I have tried to upload a blog all week but my computer/computer battery has made it impossible!  I am done trying to recap the way I would like, and am just going to post my favorite pictures of the Duzan family. So, here we go.  It will be a crazy mess, but I will try and post some of my favorite pics so we can move onto the holidays. I started this blog for my children and it is because of them that I never have time to blog...love it!!

 
 
 

 
So, here is our summer in a quick recap!  We had fun going to a Card's game, had to say goodbye to my bf Nini, and watched the twins turn one! We also had a blast with halloween outfits this year with our tinkerbell and two cute pumpkins!  I will update more with Thanksgiving pics sooooooon!  I miss our blog and am excited to update for our family and friends:)))
