Trick or Treating

We had a wonderful Halloween! The weather was great, it was in the low 60's. James and Ammon went trick or treating with friends. Jack 's friend, Cooper, and our next door neighbors, Matt and Jake, came with us. Jamie took Haylie up to the doors, while I pushed Tyson in the stroller. Tyson was having a great time!

Haylie's Preschool Halloween Parade

Haylie had a Halloween Parade at preschool. She dressed up as a Princess. She still is a little shy there, but she loves to go!

Jacks Bloody Halloween

Jack came in from playing football outside with a real bad bloody nose. I know...Gross!!!

But since it was Halloween, I thought the blood was cool!

Tyson 4 Months Old

He is becoming so much more aware of his surroundings.


If I put him down or walk over to him and he sees me, and then I walk away, he will start crying.


He can hold toys in his hand and put them in his mouth.


He giggles and smiles all the time.


He kicks and splashes in the bathtub.

Haylie turns 3

Haylie turns 3. I can't believe it. I tried to sponge roll her hair the night before, but as you can see in her birthday pictures most all of them fell out overnight. If anyone has tips on sponge rolling hair, that would be wonderful.

Her day was full. We had 2 football games. 2 sessions of conferance, her birthday party, a house showing, and grocery shopping.

So what is up with the "Princess Cake"? 3 or 4 months ago, Haylie saw the "Princess Cake" in the Bakery section of Target. She would want the cake everytime we would go to Target. I had to purposely not go into the bakery section so she wouldn't see it. So for her birthday, we told her she could get the "Princess Cake". That is all she talked about.

After the showing, around 2:30, we came home and she went down for a nap, a much needed one. We woke her up at 5:30 for her party. It took her a while to grasp what was going on. She had sensory overload. And since she had sensory overload, the rest of us got sensory overloaded as well. But as the night carried on, she calmed down and had fun playing with her new toys and eating her cake.
