Halloween

We love Halloween!

This year we had a great Halloween, the weather was on the warmer side, we didn't have to rush home because it was Friday, and our friends Dana and Matt had their annual Halloween party after a 1 year hiatus (new baby). On a sad note, Gabby is now into hanging out with friends rather than trick or treating with us! So sad. We let her go with friends and a parent chaperone, and after she went to a costume party! I was in bed before Monte picked her up! She is growing up too fast. Well, at least we can have a few more fun years trick or treating with Aiden!

Scary monster! Scary monster and Neon girl

(you should see the rest of Zebadiah's wives and their 29 children!

He always brings the best looking wife to the parties.)

Tufts 10k for Women

This year my friend Dana and I decided to run a 10K. We did it for fun, and not to beat any records. Finishing at 1:12, I think we accomplished that! It was hard, but fun. I definately think we will do it again next year!

Fall Festivities

So schools back in session and so are dance lessons, piano lessons, girl scout meetings, football, karate lessons and insanity. But with the crazy times also comes fun times with friends and family! Time flies so quickly, thank goodness we have pictures to prove that we actually did all these things!

And last but not least!

Monte's new stairs (a wonderful addition to our deck!)

Moon sand, moon sand, sand that you can mold!

Everyone should have moon sand, Aiden got it for his birthday from my friend Kim, and we had so much fun playing with it! No trip to the beach required!

Happy siblings playing nicely together! (how long this lasted I won't say)

Aiden's Castle, soon in ruins, not surprising.

Aiden' Belated 4th Birthday Party

Yesterday, we had a party to celebrate Aiden's 4th Birthday and the semi completion of our new deck. We had gorgeous weather and lots of friends and family. It was a wonderful day!

Aiden picked out a race car cake, how surprising!

Make a wish!

Yummy!

Presents, finally!

Big truck, yeah!

Just the right size!

Who thought this was a good idea?

What you be lookin' at?

Aiden's big gift from Beeka, Chris, Cindy, Rod, Mom and Dad!
He really isn't spoiled at all, just ask his big sister!

Thank you, everyone, for a wonderful day!

Deck Progress

Here are the latest updates to our deck, now we just need some stairs. Monte has done an amazing job. We are so impressed with his handiwork, skill and ability to stay sane while working 50 hours a week and renovating a house. Not to mention spending time with us!
