May the Force Be With You

Happy Halloween from the Star Wars Clan!  

 

My sister, Becca, made my Princess Leia costume and my brother Tyler made Colin's R2D2 outfit

While we were trick or treating, TONS of people commented on our family costumes and thought they were great.  I'd say we were pretty recognizable.  People especially gushed over our little R2D2.

"Trick or Treat"

 

The amazing Funkins Jarom spent hours carving while we were in Seattle

And he's off!

He's sitting up AND crawling. . . and so it begins.

Laughing Hysterically

Part of every good bed-time routine: getting all wound up right before mom and dad want you to go to sleep. Colin definitely appreciates when Bryson is acts crazy and reacts with his wonderful baby laugh.

Back from Vacation

We returned from Washington a couple of days ago.  We had a great time with my family.  Becca and I took the kids to the zoo, we ate at a few of my favorite restaurants, and made Halloween costumes (you'll have to wait for the reveal). Bryson got in a lot of playtime with his cousins, Colin spent lots of time in Grandma's "Jumperoo," we watched movies and "took it easy" with Grandpa Jim, and we were showered with hugs from Grandma Joy. We had a wonderful visit, and I'm SO glad we were able to go.   

Pumpkin Patch Kids

Today the boys and I took a field trip to the pumpkin farm with Grandma Joy and Aunt Becca and her girls.   We took some adorable photos of Bryson in a stack of pumpkins when he was about Colin's age, so I tried to recreate that, but Colin isn't sitting up yet and he wasn't too enthused about sitting on top of a pile of pumpkins, especially when Grandma Joy took away the mini pumpkin he  was trying to suck on.  Bryson was pretty cooperative for pictures though and so we got some cute ones.  Here are our little pumpkin patch kids.

7 Months

Colin is now 7 months old and ready to take off crawling any day now!
