Halloween

Just wanted to share some of my kiddos on Halloween.  This year I decided to let Nicholas pick out his own costume.  Well he got to pick between the three that were left on the rack in Target a couple days before Halloween anyway.   It was very fitting though since we watch the movie Cars practically every day!

Showing off his hook…

He was pretty excited!

I was going to make a costume for Sylvia – in fact I already had a tutu complete, but then I saw this & had to get it. Now the tutu will be part of her birthday outfit :)


This little dumpling learned how to crawl today too – on her 8 month birthday!


We celebrated this year at our church where there were lots of games and candy for the kids. Nicholas had a great time till the very end when we decided to get a bunch of the kids together for a picture. Notice who is missing???  Oh yes – the photographers kid!

We had to get one of Sylvia and her little buddies (Juliet, Stella & Bryce) too who were all born pretty close together.

Flying

Yesterday, my Dad took Nicholas on his very first non-commercial plane ride.  Scott and I got to ride along too, and Irene offered to stay back with Sylvia.  My dad had reserved a Diamond DA40 for 6:00, but when we got there the plane was no where to be found.  So we waited and waited and waited.  An hour and a half later the guy using it finally dropped it off.  But we did get to see the sun set while we were up – which was absolutely beautiful.  Nicholas loved flying too.  As soon as we landed he said ‘more airplane’ and the whole way home he talked about how the plane was ‘so cute!’

Here are a lot of pictures from our adventure:

Finally we got the airplane…

Nicholas got to ride up front and be the co-pilot…

We even got to fly over our house…

Nicholas was loving it…

The sun had set while we were in the air and the sky was beautiful colors…

Celebration on the Grand

Last Friday we were invited to go to the Bridgewater Place to watch the fireworks. We went with some friends of ours & had a great time. They were amazing fireworks and it was awesome to see them being launched right in front of us.

You can see how close we really were in this picture:
