Will's 6th Birthday!

Our sweet Will turned 6! We celebrated by going to see the Zoo lights a few days early (when the weather was a little warmer!). Tim was home for the week so we got to have a nice family day. We went to dinner at one of his favorite restaurants and had cake at home. Here are some pics from the day!

Fall Break and Halloween....

The boys are finishing up fall break today...back to school tomorrow! We had a great visit from Nana over fall break. The kids had a great time and Nana got to experience our crazy October snow storm. We got about 18 inches over a 48 hr period...crazy! The boys couldn't wait to get outside and play in it.

Andrew and his pumpkins

Ohhhh...they are wild!


Don't they look beautiful!

Wyatt loved running through the snow...usually he is more of a southern dog!

She was inside with Nana staying warm!

The three amigos!

The boys (and Wyatt) entertaining Hailey at the window...she loved it!

This is what the patio looked like Thursday morning (the snow started Tuesday night)

Totally crazy but fun!

Fortunately a lot of the snow had melted by Halloween yesterday. The boys had a great time. We went to a neighborhood party and then to our friends for trick-or-treating and another party. Jack was a clone trooper, Will was Darth Vader, Andrew was Yoda, and Hailey was a ladybug! Tim dressed up this year again and he was Clone Trooper Commander Cody....too funny! The boys thought it was great! The boys had a great time trick-or-treating with all of their friends but are soooooo tired today!

The whole gang...Carson, Austin, Jack, Mitchell, Rylan, Finley, Chase, James, Andrew, Audrey, and Will!


Our little Yoda...how cute is he!

This was how Hailey spent her first trick-or-treating...sound asleep on Daddy's back!
Oh yes...Clone Trooper Commander Cody

This is how Andrew spent most of his night...getting a "ride" from Karina! The pink hair and green head was too cute!

Our cutest little ladybug!

Catching up.....

So it has been awhile since I updated the blog...sorry...things have been crazy around here. With school, sports, other activities etc we are just always on the go. Everyone is doing great! The boys LOVE school and are doing very well. Jack and Will are both playing soccer and lacrosse this fall. We had initially said one sport at time but when Tim found leagues for the boys to play lacrosse in, I gave in! They are loving playing lacrosse though so I am glad that we did it. Here are some pics of the boys.

Jack playing sweeper in his game.

Coming off the field for half time.

Andrew just thinks Jack is the best! He wants to play "cross" too!

And he scores....

He got to do a face-off. He was soooo excited!


And he won the face-off!!
He loves lacrosse!!

Andrew has also been playing soccer. He is playing in an instructional clinic for 3 year olds. I'm pretty sure that he still thinks that he is on a team. He wears one of the big boys old uniforms (so does every other younger sibling out there!!) and just looks so cute. He loves it!

Praticing his dribbling!

His "freeze" position!

Andrew had his back to school night last week. Sooooo cute. They sang some of their songs and showed us around the classroom. Andrew has gone to so many of these for his brothers that he was so excited to have it be his turn. He did a great job!

Andrew waiting patiently!


His class (at least those that were there and those that wanted to participate!)

The sleeping song- notice that Andrew is the one with his little butt up in the air...he used to sleep that way!!!


Jump!

Little Hailey is getting just too big. She is almost 9 months old now. She just cut her first tooth yesterday and she keeps touching it with her tongue. She may never crawl....just does not like to be on her tummy...all kinds of girl drama. She just gets cuter everyday though and is just the happiest little girl.....as long as mommy or daddy are around! Here are some pics of her watching Will's lacrosse game the other day!

Did someone say "Princess"!

My hair is getting soooo long!!!
