Halloweeny was in OCTOBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really wanted to make the boys costumes and I wanted them to be some sort of theme/sidekick characters. I just could not come up with anything at all to make them. Finally, the Monday before Halloween, which was on a Sunday I think...hehe) I decided that Blake would be Curious George and Trever would be a Banana! I had no patterns at all, I just measured the boys and started cutting and sewing! I am pretty sure I had the cutest kids out there!

We have never taken Blake to do any "real" trick or treating. I kinda feel like he doesn't really NEED all that junk anyway. So we took the boys to visit some family members and then we went to the fire department where John is a fireman. They take an ambulance out on the town and when they see a group of kids they pull over and all the kids run to the ambulance and get candy. Blake handed out candy with Daddy this year while Trever and I snuggled to stay warm in the back of the ambulance. It was a fun night for us!!

My little Curious George and his Banana. I was pretty proud of my sewing skills. No patters at all :)

 Trever rode down in the step of the ambulance most of the time.  I love his little banana top hanging out!!

 

It took a little bit to convince Blake that it was ok to share all the candy with all the kids. He thought, "How dare you guys take all this candy, its MINE!" After awhile he loved it and did a great job helping Daddy!

SORRY!!!

I am trying to just catch up on the fun stuff that we did during the fall and holidays so just warning you that these upcoming posts are gonna be OLD!! But I don't really care. I am doing this blog so that family and friends can see what we have been up to and keep up with updated pictures of the boys and also so that years down the road my little family can look back and remember all the great and not so great times that we have had :) Thanks for reading!!!

"I ride a big airplane!" ~Blake

In September John's Aunt Susan passed away after a short battle with liver cancer.  After lots of debating whether to go out to Tennessee for the funeral we decided that we were going to go.  We really value family and have a hard time saying no when it comes to be there for family through the good times and bad.

We flew out on a Friday morning and flew home on Sunday so it was a very fast trip. But we are so very thankful we were able to go and be with family during this time. Blake was so very excited to fly. He as been on multiple other flights but doesn't remember any of them so this time was fun. This was obviously the highlight of Blake's life so far because if he wants to strike up a conversation with anyone he says, "I ride on a big airplane!"

Waiting for our plane!

We had to ride the underground trolly/train thing at DIA. Blake thought that was the coolest thing ever! Planes and trains in one day was the best thing for a little boy :)

John was showing Blake the airplane hanging from the ceiling.

Trever's first plane ride!!! I love these sweet boy!!

Take off!!!!!



He was so excited to get his own drink!!

Blake and I went for a run while we were there!

Playing with his Daddy's old toys! I think it is so cool that he gets to do that!
