Halloween

Our neighborhood had their annual Halloween parade so all the kiddos get to wear their costumes and walk down the street. Of course at the end there are snacks and hot chocolate. Brayden was totally hilarious as Superman. He has blonde hair normally so it was very striking to see him with jet black hair.





Trever was dressed as a knight but insisted on wearing a Frankenstein head for the parade. :)



Here I am wearing my Dad's overalls that he picked up in junior girls department and a mask from Grandma. I mentioned that I looked like Ed Gein and got lots blank stares but lots of people said I looked like the guy from Texas Chainsaw Massacre (of course Ed Gein the serial killer from Wisconsin was the basis for the movie - I guess he isn't too well known).



Eric is fascinated with Pablo much like his brother was. The first time he put on his costume he started jumping up and down and kept yelling "Pablo!" over and over for about 20 minutes.







Ryan and Brayden posing just before setting out. Notice the house across the street from them. They really put out a spread this year. Instead of candy they brought the grill and served fresh grilled hot dogs with soda or hot apple cider.



Eric and Preston didn't actually go up to very many houses but they obviously enjoyed the candy!!

Better Birthday Party Pictures from our personal family photographer...Bonny :)

Yay!!! Bonny had a bunch of pictures from Ryan's birthday party. Apparently we were so busy keeping the party going to we did not take too many pictures ourselves.

The bouncy house was the big hit of the day.




Trever showed up in a shirt and tie. But soon we all discovered his suit was a velcro front as he ripped off his suit and underneath was Spiderman!!!


Eric got lots of attention from his family too. :)


Look Mommy!! Motorcycle.


OOOOOHHHHHH CCCCCOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!!!!! SPIDERMAN!!!!!!!!


Batman was the "theme" for his party and here is the batman cake.




Preston Daniels and his chubby cheeks.


Colton says "Where's the cake?"

Ryan's Birthday

Well at least this year it wasn't as hot as last year!!!. Unforunately we didn't get too many pictures. It was a crazy and hectic day. Enjoy the pictures of the bouncy house and the water and sand table.




Colton got swallowed up in the bouncy house. The boys all thought it was pretty funny if we turned it off so it would collapse on them, then turn it back on and it would lift them right up.

Halloween

Ryan has discovered that he REALLY likes drums. Just about anything that resembles a drumstick gets beat on any surface nearby.



Ella, Ryan, Grammy prior to going out to gather lots of candy.

Brayden, Ella, Ryan. The epitome of cuteness!!!

Buzz and Woody, a classic duo.

DeSoto Days

ahhh....the infamous red car. Ryan has been looking forward to this RED car for a whole year.

We watch this video frequently (scroll to the bottom of the post), so no other car would do.

Ryan's best friend, Brayden joined in on the fun
