Halloween party

A few years ago some friends of ours and the two of us decided to start having Halloween parties every year.  We love getting together with friends, eating party foods, and dressing up in costume. All those seemed to lend themselves to having a party!  Every year gets better with new games and fun. Some years we've had to cancel due to schedules, or freak snow storms, but we try to do it yearly.  Here's a few pictures of this year's shenanigans.  

I didn't do very well at getting good pictures of everyone's costumes this year.  

 There are no words for those two.....none.

 Best use of a baby belly ever!

 His baby Voldemort face was amazing.  

 The ever popular, pelvic thrusting, ping pong ball catching game

 Spectators

 Transferring candy corn from bowl to bowl with chopsticks

 Tedd had his own personal coach

 Aren't we so cute?

 Food!!! Isn't the pumpkin patch adorable?

 Black kool aid with rolling fog.  We had dry ice this year and had lots of fun with it.

 Doesn't every party need a Halloween tree?

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Brotherly love

The boys LOVE their baby bother.  Gabe has mixed feelings about it, but usually he loves the love.

 Out of the two big bother's Landon is the one always in his business, but he means well and loves him a lot.

Gabriel is wearing the same jammies, but the ones above are from a few weeks before the ones below.  

 Just chillin with his buddies, Cap and Iron Man

Capturing his smiles is hard, but here's part of one!

Being goofballs!

This one cracks me up because Will and Landon are making the exact same face.  They are all so cute I can barely take it.

KISSES!!!

I seriously can't get enough of this little face.

Bath time is the best time.

It's amazing how much they all look alike at this age! I'm going to have trouble telling their pictures apart years from now.  Thank goodness I label things.

Blessing day

Gabriel's baby blessing at church was September 14, 2014. 

Friends and family joined us at church and afterwards at home for a cook out.  

 With my parents (MaMa and PapPap)

With the Pitzer's.

 If you combine both of these you get one decent one.  Please ignore my dead flower beds.  Yikes!  And poor Zach is hidden by Libby. 

 Gabriel wore the same suit both of his brother's wore at their blessings.  And this is the beautiful blessing blanket that was crocheted for Landon (and all my babies since) by one of my second mom's.

 He was not about to wake up for a photo op.  

Grandma was in her glory with all her grand babies in one room.  

"I'm going to play in the World Cup!"

Landon has started his first soccer season with AYSO.  He has been excited for this since registration back in May. Making a kid wait until September to start is just torture!  He is convinced that he is going to play in the World Cup one day.  I'm wondering if all pro soccer players started out as distracted while playing as he is.  His goalie skills are pretty great, we just have to work on focus.  Watching a herd of 4 and 5 year old's chasing a ball around the field is pretty entertaining.  We laugh every game and cheer for all the kids, regardless of their team.  They are all out there having a great time.  Landon's first game was in the rain.  It was cold and wet, but they were still having fun.  Only a few minutes into his game the sole of his shoe came half off.  It was still attached from the toe to arch and he played on with it flopping along.  Hand me down shoes can be treacherous!  Here's pictures from his first game. I haven't taken any since then, but these are pretty much what it looks like every week.  Minus the rain of course.

 Before the game and the rain began

 Practicing dribbling and his goalie skills

 Check out number 6!

 Will wasn't bothered by the rain. He liked licking 

the rain off his face.

 If you yell anything at him like, "get it, Landon!"he stops and looks, therefore losing the opportunity.  Focus, it's a skill we will gain one day when he's older....I hope.

 Getting a piece of the action

 Coaching.  If you can't find him, look by the coach.

 Rosy cheeked, soggy, and full of curls after the game.

I love that face!

Let's go GREEN!
