Trick or Treatin'

Happy Halloween

We started the afternoon w/ jello with worms in it

The boys did really good!

Silly Ellie

She was so brave to climb this big slide all by herself

She had so much fun!

Got candy?

Zander was hoping to get a little candy off of poor little Sydney's hand (or you could say he is just giving her a little kiss).

The girls sure do love the boys! (and the boys love them!)

She was so excited over every piece of candy

Ellie had a very fun Halloween. In the morning we finished making our jello desert. It was half blue jello, half green jello, with some candy worms mixed in. (I thought making the jello was a little better then cookies or something with much more sugar in it-and she loved it.) We started the evening with a trip to a local church festival. They had several inflatable things for the kids to play on. The kids seemed to have fun, but the lines were long so we decided to go trick-or-treating. Ellie had so much fun going up to people's houses. Instead of saying trick-or-treat she would say "trick-or-treatin'" when the people opened the doors. She was so excited about each piece of candy she receieved. She was even excited when she received pretzels. She would say "look what I have, its pretzels!" At the end of the night she stated that she had lots of candy and asked if she could keep the candy in her room (keep dreaming), then she said that she wanted to save some for Auntie Tami (who is coming at the end of November). The boys did so well! (they are such troopers) They were so tired, but they enjoyed all the kids around them.

Does Connor like his bath??

He actually does like his bath (I just thought these photos were funny). He tries to grab the toys floating around. They are both starting to like their bath.

Ice Cream

I love Fall!! My favorite time of year are the Holidays and fall is the start of it all. Cooler weather,crisp air, cozy blankets, warm sweaters, warm colors, leaves changing, Thanksgiving, Christmas trees, Christmas music-I love it all, you get the idea. So, to start off the Fall season we went to Patterson Farm with some friends to get a pumpkin. The kids had so much fun they didn't want to leave until we told them at the end we would get ice cream.

9 month check-up

The boys had their 9 month check up at the doctors yesterday. They are getting so big. Connor is 20 lbs 2oz and 26 1/2 inches long. For weight he is in the 50% and for height is only in the 5%. He is a chunky little boy. Zander is 20lbs 6oz and 27 1/2 inches long. He is in the 50% for weight and 25% for height. This is the first time since they have come home from the hospital that Zander has weighed more than Connor.
Connor says ma-ma and da-da. I have been trying to get it on video, but he usually only says it when he is crying. Zander says da-da and ga-ga. They can both sit up on their own, but Connor can sit up a little longer than Zander.

9 month photos

On Saturday we took the kids in to get the boys 9 month photos taken. Since it is October we also had pictures taken in their costumes. I just can't believe it has been 9 months since the boys were born! Time has flown by! I can't believe how big there are getting. They are such good boys and we are so blessed to have them.

Disney World's of Fantasy on Ice

I was planning on taking Ellie to Disney Worlds of Fantasy on Saturday afternoon, but then, at the last minute, Tim got some tickets for the box seats for Saturday evening so we were able to invite some friends to join us. The girls had so much fun! Afterwards, I asked Ellie if she liked it and she threw her hands in the air and said "It was Great!"

Pretty in red, green, & purple

Yes, this is what happens when Ellie says I will get dressed and I let her do it on her own. A green shirt, a red skirt and purple socks.
