HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The kids where really excited to pick out pumpkins this year.

Logan loved the WHITE pumpkins!

Ethan was strong and carried his all the way to the car.

Makayla is learning how to walk and wouldn't let us hold her. She wanted down. She loved playing with the pumpkins.
We had a great time looking for pumpkins and this might be the first year Ethan will carve the pumpkin WITH me, instead of watching me. He was talking about it the whole way home.
We are going to have a great FALL and WINTER! Hope to see you along the way!

Since Dad is out of town for the weekend, Makayla wants daddy to see her progress.

Mommy finally captured it on film.

We Love Sundays!

We Love Sundays! We get to dress up in our Sunday best and go to primary!

LOGAN turns 2

My sweet Logan is now 2! He loves to be outside, running around, riding his bike, playing with his brother and kissing his sister! He gives the best hugs and kisses! Thank you to everyone who was able to come to the party. All of you made the party great fun! Here is some of the fun for those who could not make it!

He blew out ALL his candles on the first try!


He was SO excited to get presents, He was good at being the center of attention!

He got a waterpiller - it attaches to the hose and sprays water everywhere!

Sporting all the wearables (new PJs, helmet, and sandals)

WE LOVE YOU LOGAN!

For those who have yet to see our little performer singing his heart out, I have posted this for all to enjoy. Unstaged and unrehearsed, here is Ethan age 3 singing to the Beatles Rock Band! Please Enjoy!

My Makayla Renae

Makayla Renae was born on Dec 11, 2009! She was 7 pounds 5 ounces and 20 inches long. She was born at 8:37 AM after I had been in the hospital for 2 hours. She had the cord wrapped around her neck 6 times and yet had no complications due to the unusually long cord.

Her Brothers where very excited to meet her. The first thing that Ethan said as he walked into the room was " Mommy, Makayla got out." They LOVE her so much!

She LOVES her DAD!

And the blanket her Grandma and Aunt Ashley made for her!

This was my dress passed on to my daughter. I will hopefully get the picture of me in mine and put them on here together. (soon)

It may seem as if she did not get anything new... but this was my blessing dress! Her grandma, my mother MADE it! Grandma is so talented! It is a BEAUTIFUL dress!

We are SO happy to have her in our family!

Stagecoach Rides

Every 3rd Saturday in Downtown Placerville there are free stagecoach rides. While the kids and I where downtown we thought that we would take a ride. Logan was a bit tired so he wasn't to excited, but Ethan was excited and nervous before we got on. During the ride he had a great time. He loved to see the horses and kept asking to see them again. The first ride he was holding on for dear life, the second time he just wanted to hold my hand and was really enjoying it.

Here are some pictures of us next to the coach and the horses. They have all the people dressed up old time and its a great way to see some of the Placerville "Old Hangtown" history.

I have come to find that it is very hard to get a picture of Logan in a full smile, but here he is having fun with his big brother and you can see his sweet smile that lights up his crystal blue eyes. Ethan is a great big brother. he loves Logan and is always taking care of his little brother.

I love you both!
