Harvest party costumes

The boys went as Noah and the Ark. Nate was a dinosaur that was left behind!

Nate shows off his newly aquired skill of holding onto things!

Here are the costumes...

The boys picked out their paper and we "altered" some Oatmeal containers for their candy containers. We decorated them with our Noah and the Ark theme.

I guess homemade costumes have some glitches...Noah's beard turned out to be chest hair! Sorry Zack!

Sammy had to find a princess to hold hands with! He just loves Carolyn.

Here are the boys together, it's time to go home! but maybe one more stop...

We went to see Logan. He was a cowboy and was disgusted because everyone called him a sheriff!


The boys had fun! Sammy was eating lollipops the whole time we were there. It was a nice tome spending the evening with our friends at church and letting the kids enjoy themselves.

updates from Nate

Nate is doing Great! He is about 15 lbs!!!! (and killing my back!) Just about 4 months and is so interactive. He goes to sleep at night without much intervention- put a pacifier and a white noise on and he's out! He's been sleeping really well in his car seat- so that's where I put him to bed- He just loves his brothers and is able to hold his head up pretty well. He's reaching for objects and has been batting at the toys he likes. Here are some pictures that have been taken over the last couple of days.

Family Pictures

These were taken after Nate's Baptism on Sunday.

Harvest party

We had a fun time rolling in the hay/grass, making caramel candied apples, going on a scavenger hunt, a bonfire, of course roasting marshmallows and making s'mores and eating chili and pigs in a blanket! The adults had a good time too!
Zack and Sammy had been counting the days down to their party and enjoyed their friends coming to enjoy a perfect fall evening!

Monarch butterfly emerges

As promised here are some great pictures by JBC that show the emergence of our butterfly. Thanks Mumsy- you got here just in time!

weekend

Mumsy got some good pictures of some of the activity...

Fence

Tim's been working on putting a fence up so we can get some animals. Mainly for grass and weed control. But this has been a project on the list of things to do and it's exciting to see some of the fence up!

Like Father Like Son

Zack has an ancient laptop that we've had for years! He loves it.

Farewell

Here are some picts of the Farewell we had at the Squadron.









We had quite a bit of clean up after our boys enjoyed the chocolate cake!
