Happy Halloween

Arrrrggghh! We had fun dressing up as a pirate family for Halloween this year. We went to a few carnivals this weekend. Then tonight we went trick-or-treating around our cute neighborhood. I love our neighborhood especially around holidays. People go all out with decorations and lights. There were even people giving out free hot dogs (hallo-weenies) and drinks and people riding around on a hay ride. Lots of fun!

Captain Jack...

Cute Baby Pirate on his first Halloween! (he was not loving the hat!)

Sweet Pirate Girl wearing her "golden" shoes because "pirates love golden."

Of course after all of that candy, you can't forget to brush your teeth!

My Blue Eyed Boy

I am so in love with this sweet, smiley face!

Bike Riding!

My sweet big boy has finally worked up the courage to ride his bike without training wheels. He is so my kid...we are a little on the cautious side! At one time he said he wanted to keep his training wheels until he was seventeen. :) I'm sure soon he'll be riding all around the neighborhood. For now he is determined to get the hang of it...
There have been some discouraging moments.
But I think he is proud of himself! I am proud of him!

It's Finally Fall!

We enjoyed the beautiful Fall weather today. We spent the afternoon playing outside. Sarah roller skated, Adam scootered (is that a word?), Chase swung (swang? swinged?) on his porch swing. It was just a lovely afternoon!

They look way too grown up in this picture!

The exciting news of the day is that Adam learned to ride a bike with no training wheels! He has been working on it for a while and today he finally took off! Go Adam!

Pumpkin Patch 2011

I LOVE going to the Pumpkin Patch every year. It is one of my favorite fall traditions! This year was fun since it was Chase's first time to go and he is still pretty cooperative for pictures. The big kids...not so much. ha ha. My sweet friend Misty went with us and got some cute shots of all of the kids! My mom came with us too. So much fun!

Chase is 11 Months

My sweet guy is 11 months old now. I'm so sad that this is my last "Chase is __ months old" post before his first birthday! These eleven months have gone really fast!! At eleven months Chase is pulling up everywhere, getting in to everything and making us smile all the time. He is getting a few new teeth. (I think he's up to 8 teeth now). He is a good sleeper. He will still take two naps on our home days. At school he is having too much fun to sleep! He takes a loooong nap when we get home! He loves playing with the toys and other kids at school. His teachers agree that he is the happiest baby. He loves to swing outside and watch the big kids play. He is really good at waving bye-bye. He's such a sweetie. We love you Chase!

10 Months!

This sweet guy is 10 months old. Look at that sweet smile! I love it! :) He is still such a happy baby. He has four teeth now and three more are coming in. He is pulling up on everything. He can cruise around holding on to the couch or his walking toy. He dances when he hears music and he cracks up at his silly sister and brother. He is so much fun. He started Mother's Day Out and is enjoying that. He likes to play with the other kids and some different toys. His teachers love him. He is such a precious little guy! We love our Chasey!

And I wonder why I can't seem to find time to do my laundry...

I love this baby!
