Happy Halloween!

We had a very busy Halloween this year. It started with Myles school parade and mini party. To a visit with the Gi Gi's then off to Trunk Or Treat at our church. The kiddos had a great time seeing family and friends and of course they each came home with a stash of candy bigger than we would ever allow them to consume.

Pumpkin Carving Time

Carving Pumpkins this year was so much fun! Since daddy is still one handed mommy had to do all the carving. Luckily the boys are very talented when it comes to drawing!!! If only it could stay this easy for years to come :)




And the drawing begins!



Unfortunately I was unable to take a final picture once we were done so we waited til the next day in which by then Myles' pumpkin had all ready began to mold :( Luckily Myles was not to bummed when we had to throw it out.


So gross!

marshmallow please!

Over the last week or so Riley has been asking for marshmallows all most daily. Well one morning and I mean early morning about 4:00am Jeff awoke to find Riley standing on the counter with the bag of marshmallows in hand and one in his mouth!! The pictures below are from a different but still quite humorous!





Oh and yes if we are home, he is naked!

Pumpkin Patch 2008

We had a great time visiting Uesugi Farms in Morgan Hill with Michael and Dylan this past weekend. The weather was amazing. It was not quite dusk so some of our pictures have shadows :( The boys had a great time searching for their perfect pumpkins. We told Myles that if he could carry it he could get it! This year it worked out fine. Leave it to Riley to only want to climb on the pumpkins. He could really careless about taking one home. Our little Zoey ended up sleeping while we were there so I am sorry there are no pictures to post. I think in the future we will probably not go back to Uesugi Farms for the sheer fact it has turnned into an amusement park!

Happy 8th Birthday Michael!

We enjoyed our Sunday afternoon poolside celebrating my nephew Michael's 8Th birthday. He is such an amazing kid! He is so full of life. He can't help but smile all the time. We feel so lucky to have been a part of his special day! We love you Michael and we wish you many many more birthdays to come!!


Cousins

Monkey boy goes for socks!

It is not the new baby that makes me tired, it is not the oldest with all his activities that makes me tired and it is not my "broken" husband that makes me tired. It is this Monkey boy we call Riley Roo! Every day all day things like this happen when we stay home. He is very independent and determined. I am sure one day I I will be thankful for these qualities! Until that day comes I will continue to be exhausted!

Happy 5th Birthday Myles!

This is Myles' very first Soccer Sweatshirt! Go Bluebirds!
His Kindergarten Class


Myles is officially 5 years old! We had lots of fun making 48 mini cupcakes and 24 reguluar size cupcakes! It just so happens that his birthday landed on National Cupcake Day! We have done a lot of celebrating around here to say the least. Mini Cupcakes at Grandpa's!
Bowling with some pretty amazing friends!

When the Cats away the Mice will play...

When I got out of the shower yesterday I went to check on the kiddos as I usually do and this is what I found!



The Winnie the Pooh jar is glass and it sits on top of the freezer, can you believe it is still in tip top shape?





He was very proud of himself! Oh and of course our little princess was fast asleep.

Zoey Belle 3 months and counting!

Zoey is amazing! She weighs just over 14 pounds now :) She is getting so big so fast. She is very talkative just like her two big brothers! Zoey has been holding her head up more and more now. She is also beginning to like tummy time. She is still eating and sleeping very well! The only complaint we have with her is she hates car rides. As long as someone (normally Myles) is sitting next to her and holding her hand she is fine and not screaming. Otherwise bring your ear plugs along for the ride.

Crucial Hay Maze

Tessa, Gracie, Kyliegh, Jen & Zoey

Jeff, Johny, Chris and Adam

Last Saturday evening we took some of the high schoolers we work with up to Arata Farms just outside of Halfmoon Bay. We had a great time trying to find our way out of the Hay Maze. Props to Jeff for being the first one to find the exit. Unfortunately us girls never got out with out help. Infact I think Kyliegh and I always came out the entrance. We also walked through the "haunted barn"! What a joke!! Don't waste your $5 bucks on it!! Unless you want a good laugh!



This next Saturday we are taking the jr. highers to the Hollister Corn Maze at Swank Farms. I'll let you know how that goes :)
