Halloween

This year, Ian and Brady picked out their own Halloween costumes. They decided to be Buzz Lightyear and Woody from "Toy Story".

For anyone unfamiliar with the movie, this is what the characters look like:

Leah went as a ladybug.

Sunday afternoon, our church did a "Trunk or Treat" where the families decorated their trunks and passed out candy to the kids.

After a nap and a quick dinner, we headed out. We made a couple of stops and then spent most of the evening trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. We had a really good time.

This is the best picture I could get of the three of them in their costumes - too bad Leah was starting to cry!

10 months

Leah is 10 months old today - hard to believe! She is now about 20 pounds and has 6 teeth. Her top four came through within a few days of each other.

She is crawling a little bit, but prefers to stand up and hold onto our hands or the furniture. She can also take a few steps while holding onto the couch. Her newest trick is waving when we say "Hi" or "Bye-Bye".

We love you, sweet girl!

Sinkland Farms

Early last month, we went to Sinkland Farms, which has become an October tradition for our family. The boys had a great time as usual, and Leah seemed to enjoy her first trip. There were a few nice setups for picture taking this year.

The boys enjoyed looking at the farm animals again this year. Ian wanted to pet them all, but Brady was a little more timid.


They went through the toddler maze, but for some reason there was no exit!

They enjoyed jumping off the hay bales.

Next, we went on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch.

Brady and Ian remembered how much fun they had last year rolling the pumpkins. This was the first thing they wanted to do when they got off the hay ride.

Ian said, "This one is just my size."

We attempted to get a picture of all three kids, but that didn't work out too well. Leah was trying to figure out what kind of seat we put her on!


Happy baby!
This year we did "punkin' chunkin' ". The boys got to put tiny pumpkins into the slingshot and watch them fly down the hill.

Unfortunately, our camera battery died at this point so we didn't get pictures of the boys' pony rides. I also wanted to get some pictures of Leah in the pumpkins. I guess we'll have to wait until next year!
