Happy Halloween!!

It's a bird, it's a plane . . . it's our little superheros!!!









Avery, Pete, and Hailey flew around in their Halloween superhero costumes and were just as cute as they could be! My mom and I spent alot of time perfecting my creation and I couldn't have been happier with how the costumes turned out. I wanted something that would not only be great for Halloween but also great for dress up time throughout the year. Thank you Mom for all your help!








Our trick or treating experience started out a bit tense as BOTH of our cameras were out of batteries. I FLEW (yes, pun intended) to our neighbors who graciously let me borrow their camera. Thank goodness! At every moment, someone had some piece of their costume off, but we all still had fun walking around and seeing our neighbors.




Our fabulous neighbor Russ also surprised the kiddos with a "Halloween Hunt". He put treat filled black and orange eggs in our yard, gave the kids flashlights and the hunt began! They LOVED it, and I think that might have to become a yearly tradition! A few of our neighbors had special treat bags for our kiddos, they are truly loved and well taken care of around here!!!

Country time

We spent another enjoyable weekend in the country at my parent's place. I had so many pictures that truly captured the essence of our family's happiness while we were there.


One of our early morning playtimes! Love the light in these pictures and that it is completely natural,straight out of the camera shots!

Last time there were only two rocking chairs, but lo and behold, Nana and Papa decided to get another one. Imagine that . . .



After looking up what kind of bugs these were we found out they were mayflies (never heard of them - Daddy Pete actually gets the award for knowing that piece of bug trivia). The kiddos created a game of gathering as many mayflies as they could and creating little collections. Poor bugs.

Beautiful foggy morning sunrise - the weather was fantastic.


Papa walking the kiddos to the pier for a fishing lesson.

Pete's first fish! It was amazing - we dropped the lure and bait in the water and it got grabbed immediately! Talk about the right kind of fishing for 2.5 year olds!


Avery's first fish! Her's took a little longer than Pete's but still successful!

Now does this show little Miss A's personality or what. I have about 20 shots of her prancing around with her fishing pole. Such a ham!

We went into town because they were offering horse and carriage rides and we thought the kids would love it. I guess they loved it, they just kinda sat there in awe. I guess they were thinking "Why are we in a car behind a horse?" :)
