Halloween 2012

Halloween was a trip this year....the pictures say it all!!!  Before we went trick r treating I took the kids to see great grandma....as usual Parker hammed it up for the camera.

 Then it was time for the festivities to begin...Parker and Ethan could barley stand it!!!

 Brady, Carter, Ethan Parker Ella and Chase all ready to go

 Parker running from door to door.....until he got tired a half a block later

Miss Ella is 10 Months old

Well this month Halloween and Ella's 10 month birthday fell on the same day!   Are little princess is keeping us on our toes these days!  She learned how to really crawl and climb up to a standing position all in about a 48 hour period of time.  She has no fear... and is really learning what the word gravity means.  She is growing out of the baby phase and into a toddler phase every day.  In the last couple of weeks she has started to use her stuck out lip to get her way as well.  I think we are well on the way to being manipulated by a 10 month old.   I will post some picture of her pouty face in later pictures.
On a great note her sleeping patterns are getting better, I think because she is so exhausted from crawling and climbing all day long, that she is sleeping through the night mostly.
I cannot believe that we are approaching the one year mark....it seems like just yesterday that I was bringing her home from the hospital!

Warm day at the park

In mid October, I had a week off of work, and I decided to take the kids to the park!  I was such a warm day outside that we almost forgot that it was late fall.  Below are the great shots that we got!
