Got Milk?

The kids think it's so funny to have milk mustaches.  I just so happen to agree with them.

Crafts

In late October, early November my sisters and I got the craft bug.  We even had a craft day at our friend Lisa's house.  After working with all that yarn, my crafting days are over.  Well, maybe not over but put on hold.  But it was fun while it lasted.

This K was by far my biggest challenge, but like my mom always says, It's good enough for who it's for.  Me!

Halloween 2012

This year we waited until the last minute to buy the kids their costumes.  So needless to say it was slim pickins.  Beau ended up going as a pirate and Bella as Cinderella.  Noah sported a orange onsie.

It was candy mania mixed with a little dance party.  The kids had a blast.

Bella was so funny while she was trick or treating.  Since Gabby & Popo's anniversary had past, Bella has gotten used to saying Happy Anniversary.  So when she was greeted at each door she yelled out Happy Anniversary.  Super cute and funny.

Bella insisted on wearing her crown like a headband.

Getting ready to leave.

It's My Party

This year from my birthday we had a great big ole family game day.  Melissa put together a day of activities.  It was fear factor meets the Amazing Race.  Super fun and my team won.

One challenge was to build a structure out of paper only.  The team with the tallest structure wins.

The losing team: Jenny, Jim Chuck, Janet, Courtland & Christa (Mom and Mia - not pictured)

The winning team:  Joel, Beau, Joey, Me, Leland & Lisa

Noah 7 Months

As of October 15, Noah was 7 months.  Other than being a crawling machine not much has changed.  He's still handsome as ever.  His eyes are still green, sometimes hazel, and his hair is a dirty blond.  He continues to eat anything and everything.  He has a very healthy appetite.  We're praying it continues.

Fishes & Del Rio

Marius invited us over to hang out, fish and eat, then to Del Rio for their annual Halloween party.  Beau was so excited to catch his first fish.  Bella on the other hand was a little unsure about the slimy squirmy fish.

Fall Time

I love fall, it not only means we're getting closer to my birthday, but I love the different color leaves and the harvest type outings.  Plus it means time to pick out Halloween costumes - my least favorite part. 

We decided to avoid the big pumpkin patch this year and went to a small local one.  It met our basic needs, hay ride, pumpkins, jumping, etc.

This is our attempt at carving pumpkins.

To be Buzz Lightyear or not to be... Um, I think not.

Bella had fun playing dress up in Beau's superman costume from last year.
