Halloween

Here's a few of the peeps in their costumes for Halloween. Ethan was, of course Pablo from the Backyardigans. Chelsea was a little fairy princess. (we borrowed a recital costume from my niece). They made the round all dolled up. They went to a birthday party, a festival at a local college, and our church fall festival. We had a great time.

The fam

Chelsea had a plan

Chelsea has finally figured out how to get the cats to play with her......very smart I'd say. Everyone knows that yarn (and jewelry making) is actually ancient Chinese kitty torture!!if you enlarge this first picture, you'll notice

Gatsby in the background looking like a Jawa or something!!

Cheerio--not much going on in that head of his...

I guess Gatsby just wants his eyes to glow in every picture!

OK, that's enough fun, now how do I get myself out of this mess? she asks.

Playing in the yard

Chelsea didn't want to be left back on the deck--she wanted to come play with her brother.
she says "Pretty please help me down"

So, being the good big brother he is, he "helped" her down alright!

She made a good recovery, though!

Ethan proceeded to climb the slide!

OK, she's a little bit precious

These are the proofs from Chelsea's 1 year picture. I know, I know, she's adorable!!

Ethan and Ella's outing

Ok, so this was totally back in August, but I keep forgetting to put these pictures up here. Ethan's COOL aunt Stephanie took him and Ella to see the Wiggles when they came to Houston (ain't she brave?!) They totally had a good time. Aren't they cute? Ella and Ethan before the Show

Ethan enjoying the show

Toot toot chugga chugga big red car!!

Saturday at the Park(s)

Miss Chelsea

Just like mama with her sunglasses!!

They play sweet together

A couple of Saturdays ago, we decided to have a "progressive park day". We started out at one park by the baseball fields, then ended up at a school playground near the house. It was a beautiful day and the kiddos needed something different to do besides hanging at the house.

My baby girl is ONE!!

I can't believe how fast this year has gone. It seems like just yesterday, we were bringing my baby girl home from the hospital. My how time flies. We had her b-day party Saturday at our house. I had such a good time getting ready for it, and a great time seeing everyone! Chelsea didn't do a face plant into her cake like Ethan did, but she did a great job.What's this? (with Ethan in the background wondering if she's gonna eat all that!)Oooh, I got some on my finger....should I eat it??

Mmmmmmmmmm, that's yummy!!

You want some?
I think I'm getting full!
