Hooray for Halloween

Anna was Pinkalicious for halloween and I thought she looked so good. If you aren't familiar with Pinkalicious, she is a storybook character who turns pink from eating too many pink cupcakes.

Jake was a fireman, and Cole was a tiger, but I didn't get him on camera, but I know others did so hopefully I can add that soon.

The annual pumpkin carve. trick-or-treating was postponed because of the huge Sandy storm, so we postponed carving too.

The school parties were postponed as well.

Pumpkin bowling.

Costume parade.

Wade's 32nd Brthday...

Sorry Wade your birthday was lame yet again. I felt like crud from morning sickness so I didn't even make you a real cake and only had enough energy to go out and buy you one present...I am lame, so lame...next year will be magical...or at least not as lame.

Random, but had to throw it in...kids just watching a movie, but look who is in control of the popcorn. High pitched screams were heard across the land if one dared to take away his bowl.

Getting The Sillies Out...

Just some fun silly pictures...

Sports, Sports, and More Sports!..

So much fun to watch them this fall...so much improvement from Jacob, and fun to watch both of them score their first goals.

Pep talk from dad.


This little monster wanted to be part of the fun so bad, he made it near impossible to watch any of the games. I don't think spring will be much better...probably worse.

Anna's 4!..

Birthday girl muffins for breakfast...her favorite!

right before school in her new birthday outfit.

Family birthday...for her very last gift we told her that next May she would be getting a new brother or sister!

Friend birthday...I know it is really hard to see, but we had a flip flop theme birthday, so I made some adjustments to the game of candyland and made a huge outdoor flip flop land game.


Anna is on orange.

The cake.


and the friends.

First Days of School...

First, off goes my big second grader...




Then goes my little girl, for her first day of afternoon kindergarten.



Ahhh, they survived!


They wanted me dead so bad in this pic...the school encourages you to ride the bus on the first day, but I like my annual pic in front of the sign, so I made them get in the car and go back to school for a picture...I am pure evil.
