Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken the other day, and while we were all dressed and matching we had my father-in-law snap a few photos of us too.  I love my little family!

Halloween Fun

We didn't do a whole lot this Halloween, but what we did do was fun!

Ashlyn had a Carnival at her school and she was beyond excited for this.  She had her costume on hours before it started and asked every 10 min. if it was time to go yet.  A big thanks to Grandma Wells for coming out to our house at the last minute to stay with Logan.  The school was a madhouse with more kids and more germs than I could handle.  Ashlyn and Tanner got to play a lot of fun games, get halloween tattoos and animal balloons.

Brad and I went to our first Murder Mystery Dinner- it was a lot of fun!

Tanner had a Halloween Program at his preschool.  I was so proud of him.  He is usually so shy I didn't think he would sing the songs.  But he sang every word and was so stinkin' cute!  And he even wore his costume.  For some reason this kid does not like to wear costumes.  We had to bribe him to wear it to the carnival, and it was a fight to get him to wear it Halloween night.  

I bought Logan a costume this year and didn't take him ANYWHERE to wear it!  So I had to get lots of pictures at home to get some use out of it!



He fit right in with his room!

Tammy and Kirk's family come trick-or-treating with us every year.  Kirk was so funny in his fat man suit!  And the rain wasn't about to stop these girls.  Brad said they ran from house to house he couldn't keep up with Tanner.  They had so much fun getting candy and passing it out.

My little helper

Anyone who has spent any time with Logan knows he loves to be held.  He is a social little boy ( I like to look at it as social, not needy) and he never likes to be left alone.  It makes it really hard for me to get things done because as most of you know too, I don't let this little boy cry! 

Ashlyn is such a great little helper, and she LOVES to hold this little guy (he loves her too)!  The other night I came home from teaching at the gym and Ashlyn was on the floor holding Logan bouncing him and singing to him to calm him down.  Apparently he was crying so hard and Brad couldn't get him to calm down so Ashlyn stepped in and took care of things!  Hard to believe she is only 6!

Logan also likes to watch movies with the kids.  He sat on Ashlyn's lap through the entire movie of "How to Train your Dragon." 

Big Boy Foods

This little boy is growing up WAY too fast.... I need to figure out how to slow time down. 

We have been trying Rice Cereal this month.  It is a desperate attempt by me to see if it will get him to sleep longer in the night- so far it is not working.  He doesn't like the cereal.  He did the best with it the first time I gave it to him, but now every time I try to feed it to him he spits it right back at me! 

He would much rather have the Halloween candy!  It is like he knows I am trying to give him the crappy food and he wants the good stuff!  The other day I did let him have a piece of baguette bread to gum on, and he LOVED it.  He threw the biggest tantrum I have ever seen him throw when I took it away!  His little grabbers are always trying to grab something.  He leans way out of his chair to get his hands on anything left on the counter.

Cute kids

The kids were all dressed for church and we had a few minutes to spare (that never happens) so I thought I would jump on the chance to get a few pictures of them all dressed up!

 I love how Tanner is looking at Ashlyn in this picture- like are you for real?   Yes!  She is ALL GIRL!  She loves to get dressed up, she loves to pose for pictures, and she is dramatic!
