Happy Halloween!

First Halloween!

Here is Oliver on his first Halloween looking tough as our biker baby. He is sitting with his pumpkin that Elton picked out for him at the pumpkin patch.

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Last week Caleb went on his field trip with his class to the pumpkin patch and got to ride the school bus. I went on his the last 2 years so this year I went on Elton's first field trip to the pumpkin patch today. The kids had a blast and Elton was very excited to try out the new activities like the rope walk. He had no problem scaling the mountain as he sang "The Bear Climbed Over The Mountain". He picked out a pumpkin for himself and a little one for Oliver. We were glad it was a sunny day and no snow.

First Time In The Saucer

A couple of days ago we got the saucer all cleaned up and yesterday I put Oliver in it for the first time. As you can see I had to put a blanket in front of him, but he seemed to like it quite well.

All He Wants For Christmas.....

Yesterday, Caleb pulled out his second tooth himself at school. When I picked him up he proudly showed me his tooth necklace that his teacher gave him to put his tooth in. He said it didn't hurt and that there was hardly any blood. It sounded like he had quite a fun time showing the other kids his accomplishment. His second big tooth is also already through the skin and it is amazing how quickly the other one is growing. I don't think he will be toothless for long.

Caleb's 6th Birthday Party!

Caleb's birthday isn't until next Sunday, but we had his party today as he wanted a clown at his party and she couldn't make next week. He had some friends from school and his cousins. The kids had a blast! Caleb loves Lego so much that after the kids left he opened his set in the picture above and worked on it until bed. Using the instructions he had it completely built! That kid amazes me! It will be interesting to see how he uses his skills for building as he grows.

It's Not Too Often!

Since I am usually the one taking the pictures it's not too often I am in a picture. Today Dan's sister took a few pictures of us so I thought I would post them! Thanks Anissa!

3 Months Old!

Here is Oliver doing some tummy time on his Baby Einstein mat and hanging out with daddy! He was 3 months old yesterday and is weighing in at 12 pounds.

Storytime

Here are the boys in my bed all in their jammies and ready for stories.

Checking Out The Snow

When the boys saw snow yesterday they wanted to get their boots and hats on right away. The only problem was the snow wasn't even lasting as it hit the ground. However, when we woke up this morning it was a different story and they couldn't wait to get outside to check it out.

12 Weeks Old And Ready For Winter!

Here is Oliver all ready for winter and looking pretty darn cute if you ask me! He is just moving into his next size of clothes in time for the colder weather that has come upon us in the last couple of days.

It Is Snowing!

Our first snow for this year is coming down! I was surprised yesterday morning to find it so cold outside. By the time I dropped the boys off, got into my car and turned the radio on, they were saying we could have snow by today and I guess they were right. The temperature is 36 degrees right now and they say it will be even colder tomorrow. It sounds like we are going to get our winter clothes out for the weekend. Hopefully it will at least be decent enough for us to go through the corn maze on Sunday.

9 Years!

Today was our 9 year wedding anniversary! We actually celebrated last night as Dan is working tonight. A friend from work came over with her 2 boys last night and watched our boys. Yes, that made for a grand total of 5 boys! They ate grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, watched Goosebumps and ready stories. Dan and I went to Johnny Carino's for dinner and shared a Tiramasu for dessert. Then we went to see "Nick & Nora's Infinite Playlist" which was funny and cute.

In 9 years: we are in our 3rd house together, have 3 beautiful boys, Oliver is 12 weeks old today , and I had to have the prongs on my wedding ring retipped from wear and tear. I have worn my ring every day since we got engaged with the exception of when I had it resized and when I was in labor with the boys. I love being married and look forward to many more years to come!

Tagged!

Check it out! Here is my "dog tag" necklace with my boys on it. I received some birthday money in August that I spent some time deciding on what to use it for. On the back of each tag is the boys' birthdate, time, weight and length. The boys love looking at it and seeing their names on my neck.

11 Weeks Old!

Here is Oliver at 11 weeks old! As you can see he is a happy little guy and is growing. I have been very blessed that all 3 boys were happy babies. Each time you wonder if this will be the one that is fussy/colicky. I have had a pretty set routine with feeding and naps with all of them and it seems to have worked. True to form to how Caleb and Elton were, Oliver has moved from the bassinet to the crib this week and is sleeping through the night. This really is wonderful with me going back to work next week. Right now Oliver and I are just trying to enjoy as much time together as possible before Monday morning arrives.
