Halloween

Grandma did it again! Look at these awesome costumes!

We have a sweet, little newborn carrot.

A handsome magician.

...and the cutest rabbit in a hat you ever did see!

Look at that tail!

Wes got a Jack Skellington pumpkin.

Nate got Mickey Mouse.

...and Grandma drew Minnie for Ellie, freehand (with some help from Wes). We think Minnie may have had some collagen injections in her lips, but it's a pretty great drawing anyways.

A little grumpy at the end of the night, but we had to get a picture with Grandma, the costume designer.

Sweet baby girl's 1st Halloween!

The boys loved playing with Alex, as always.

Such a fun Halloween!

Xavier's 5th Birthday Party

We headed to the Railroad Park to celebrate Xavier's 5th birthday!

There was even a balloon animal artist there. Wes requested a race car balloon and Nate got a bear.

Wes chose to ride in the caboose with his buddies, while Nate was more comfortable up front with Mommy.

Such a fun party! Happy 5th birthday, Xavier!

Party with Aunt Jaime

Beth Chapman (Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife), I mean Aunt Jaime, invited Wes to her company's Halloween party at Amazing Jake's. Wes had an awesome time! All the pizza and treats he could eat and lots of fun and games. He said his favorite part, though, was hanging out with Jaime watching Harry Potter and eating popcorn at her house afterward.

Such a big helper!

Wes has taken on the responsibility of getting Nate out of his highchair after breakfast because I am stuck in the chair nursing Ellie. He takes off the tray and sets it on the table. Then he wraps both his arms around Nate and helps him down out of the highchair. It's very cute. He is such a good big brother!

Halloween Party

We were invited to a Halloween party at Lily's house. I was excited for an extra opportunity to get the kids dressed up in their super cute costumes. We even got to see Jack and Lucy in their cute cowboy and cowgirl costumes. Ellie hung out with all the babies.

Wes and Nate had fun eating snacks, playing games and painting pumpkins. Thanks for the fun party, Lily.

First Bottle

Ellie sucked it down like a champ. She supposes this will do when Mommy isn't around. She's happy to get some special Daddy time.

Harvest Party

Wes had a harvest party at school today. Grandma was nice enough to watch Nate and Ellie so that I could help out.

All the kids waited very patiently for their turn at the petting zoo. They had to sit boy, girl, boy, girl. I suppose that's a teacher trick to cut down on the rowdiness.

Look at the size of that bunny!

They had a yummy feast and made a fall necklace and frame. It was a pretty fun party!

Aren't I pretty?!
