ABC's

Hayden loves to listen to the "abc" song and tries to sing along with it. The other day, he started singing it by himself and made it all the way through!! He still needs a little prompting in front of the camara, but we were proud of him! He is at the age now where he is really picking up on knowing the words to a song and starts singing along with them.

mini pumpkin carving

I've always wanted to carve a mini pumpkin, so today Hayden helped me! Here he is scooping out the seeds all decked out in one of his daily costumes.

Proud of the finished product.

Watching it glow

Now we're ready for Halloween!! Or at least ready to take on some big pumpkin carving!

Craft Weekend

This weekend was our annual craft weekend in tri cities. We also celebrated some birthdays too!
Here is Hayden helping to open Aunt Colleen and Grandma's birthday presents.


Silly Bow Head

No crafts for the guys....just poker, football and beer :)The crafters


Taking a break from crafting to celebrate grandma and colleen's birthdays.

Hayden enjoyed crafting as well....or at least helping. He watched grandma cross stitch and even got to help aunt carol and colleen sew!

1st Haircut

I decided Lilly was looking a little too shaggy, so today she got her 1st haircut. Here is the before picture, a little unsure of what I had planned:)

Getting tickled by Hayden

Just a trim. I kept her curls, but now she looks a little less shaggy :)

Coug Game and Last Outdoor BBQ

Just thought I would share some recent pictures of our last efforts for outdoor bbq's :) We went to the coug game last weekend and all got together for a pre-game bbq. It was chilly, but we were glad the sun was out!! Here is our little coug munchkin :)

Hayden loved his cousin, Ryan's hairy hat :)

Tonight, we went to momo and papa's house for a bbq around the fire pit. Again..a little chilly, but everyone had fun! Here is Hayden, Lilly and cousin Robin having fun on the swings.
