too short of a visit...

Corey was at his grandmas for a couple of days and was able to come and visit for a few hours last week. It was TOO short! The kids LOVE him and were so excited to see him. They wouldn't leave him alone-jumping on him, sitting on him and just needing to touch him. Corey was so good about it-like always-and gave them the attention that they wanted. We are so glad that you were able to come-even for such a short visit. We love and miss you Corey!!!

Halloween

So another Halloween...The kids had so much fun carving pumpkins, making carameled apples and trick or treating. We had a very busy day on Sat. Maddie had her last soccer game-which she scored 6 goals:) After we went to her soccer party, came home and ate dinner and then went out. Jeff, Raegan, Tyler and Ava came over to join us. Thanks guys-we had so much fun!!!

YUM!

Maddie thought this was very gross so she only scooped out a little bit of guts:)

This was the first year that she really got to do her own pumpkin..a little scary for the mom

Everyone having fun!

Pumpkin Patch

This year was a little sad...We weren't able to go to the pumpkin patch as a family due to the rain. We had planned the trip a couple of times but it just didn't work out. So only the boys and I went for Jakes preschool field trip. They had a great time and got a pumpkin just their size:)

Luke was so excited!

Which one should I pick?

Would you please look at the camera?

Luke is 18 months!

I still can't believe my baby is one and a half! He is getting so big and surprises me everyday. At his 18th month appointment he was 34 inches-95% and 25 pounds-50%. He is climbing, running, trying to talk and hitting-LOVE that one! He is enthralled with his older siblings who he tries to copy, and to his dismay gets in a lot of trouble. He doesn't want to sit in a highchair anymore, doesn't want to hold a hand, and just wants to be big-SO sad! Here are a few pics...

Luke can already multi-task

He LOVES to try and play the Wii

Oh, is this not OK?
