Halloween-School Style

We had a super fun and busy day on Halloween. Noah got to go Trick or Treating at the high school where he goes to preschool. They helped him make a really cute Halloween bucket to carry ALL his candy in, a ton. Noah was busy the whole month of October making Halloween decorations that we got to put in our house. My favorite was the hanging spider.
Jacob had a parade with all the kids in the whole school that morning. Jacob's best friend is Jeremy and they got a picture together. Then an hour before school got out, we went for a party in his classroom. It was so fun and Noah and Adam enjoyed being with Jacob in his classroom.
I made a chicken pot pie for dinner and put a cat shaped cut out on the top crust.
That night we went Trick or Treating in our old neighborhood and saw some of our friends. One of our friends, Jana took a pictures of our family, very nice. We had a great day! We were all TIRED after that day of play.
Adam, so of course had to have two outfits, a turtle and a pumpkin.

Happy Halloween!

This year Jacob dressed up as an Astronaut, Noah as a Fire Chief and Adam a Turtle for our ward's trunk or treat party. For school Jacob will be a wizard and Adam will be a pumpkin. I have never since a child so excited for Halloween as Noah, he has planned what he is going to dress up as for Halloween for the next ten years! Noah loves to dress up and pretend! It is so fun to see them get so excited and happy over things and events.
This year Tim and I dressed up too. Tim was Super Man-Clark Kent and I was Lois Lane. It was a very memoriable night.

Back Tracking...

So the end of this summer and with the start of school, it was super busy. Needless to say, updating our blog was at the bottom of the list and didn't get done. So here are some of the highlights. Noah started Preschool here, he loves it and is very good at it. Jacob started Second grade and the gifted program, which he loves. Jacob started Cub Scouts too and very enjoys it, he earned his Bobcat two weeks after starting. Tim has been traveling for work, one week at a time, once a month. Adam is very easy going with all the run arounds we have to do. I am here keeping it all going...
My parents are leaving for a mission to New York, New York North Mission on November 7, they report to the MTC. They will be gone from November 2011-May 2013. We are excited for them and will miss them very much.
As part of the weekend of Jacob baptism we hosted most of my family and Tim Mom and her husband Joe. We had Jacob's baptism Friday night, we had a great turn out with all our friends here that came too. We fed 70 people, it was a lovely evening.

Adam James Is One!

Adam woke up singing and talking in his crib this morning about 7:15 a.m. Adam woke me up this morning, I layed there listening to him. I thought about this past year and what incredible and indecribleable joy he has been to our family and those around him. Yes, this year has gone by so fast but it has been a thrill watch him discover the world around him. Adam has show through his patience and calmness, his sweet spirit and personality. We have been so blessed by him. It has been my privilege to be his mother and be able to care from him every day full-time. I feel so blessed to have my three healthy and happy sons. Each of them are a joy and teach me so much about life and what is truly important. They each are unique and so loving.
Adam loved his birthday cake, a bath tub with rubber duckies. He enjoyed opening his presents and playing with the paper too. Our neighbor Sharon shares the same birthday as Adam, so they opened presents together. Adam had a fun first birthday.

Jacob's Special Day!

Jacob chose to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Friday, September 30, 2011. He has prepared well and was really excited for this new step in his life. Most of our family and most of friends who lived here were able to come. It was a unforgettable day and we appreciate all the love and support given to Jacob and our family. We are so proud of Jacob and his decision to be baptized.

Adam is 11 months old!
