This year for halloween Kyle and Josh dressed up as skeletons. Kyle picked out his costume and, of course, when Josh saw it he wanted the same thing. Kayley went as skittles. And Ava snuck into the picture as Eeyore. So cute!
We went up to Silent Valley on Saturday and the kids got loaded up on candy. Later that night we took a hayride through the haunted forest. We had so much fun we are going to make this an annual tradition. Sadly I didn't get any pictures. But here are some from halloween night and of our pumpkin carving fun :)

Here are some pictures from Chloes 1st Birthday party, we had a lot of fun. Shelly made the cutest cupcakes and there was even a bumblebee pinata!

Josh and Kaitlyn hanging out...

Listen to Family Blog

I know it's been so very long since I have posted anything new on my blog. It's been bothering me too but sometimes its hard to find the time, not to mention I'm bad about taking pictures. I know I will really regret this down the road! So I'm going to try super hard to start taking my camera with me everywhere I go and to update this more than every 6 months. I really only have pictures of Josh at the moment because my mom keeps asking to see new pictures of him since he is changing so much everyday. So for now here are some recent pictures of him and I will post some of the whole family in the next couple of weeks.
My active boy spends everyday playing in the yard and always with Ginger. Good thing too otherwise she wouldn't get much attention. In these pictures Josh is combing Ginger with her new brush that Kayley bought. Ginger sheds sooo much hair, there are always gobs of it floating around the patio, so we are going to try to brush her more often.

Kayley and Josh sharing a moment. Usually Kayley tries to get hugs and kisses from Josh and he sure doesn't hand them out for free...nor does he oblige unless on his own terms. I sure love it when he is sweet and cuddly though!

Mike has started getting the backyard ready to put the waterfall in this back corner. Of course his little sidekick is out helping. There isn't a moment that Josh is not along side daddy if he is doing any kind of project. Anytime he goes into the garage, Josh is there. Anytime he gets in his truck, Josh is there. Anytime he is in the backyard, Josh is there. Josh will just sit next to him and observe what he is doing or join in to help. It's funny the things he is naturally in to, such as tractors and concrete mixers. I never realized how many are out and about on the roads until Josh started pointing out every single one he sees.

Ok, I know, I know...this is just cruel. But doesn't Josh make the cutest little girl??? Kayley and I had tons of fun putting his hair in pony tails and dressing him in pink. The funny thing was that he actually enjoyed it. He has perfect hair for ponty tails.

Josh hanging out with his best friend Ava. Ava lives next door and I babysit her once or twice a week so these two get to play pretty often. Josh calls her Vava and I love watching them interact, they are too cute. Thankfully they do get along well and they find all kinds of things to get into :)
