Trick or Treat

It's so much fun watching excitement in a child's eyes! Ben was all into Halloween this year and was a little pro. Zach...he was just happy to be along for the ride. :)

My Harley rider and Champ the Bobcat

Even tough dudes give little brothers love.

Let's go already!

Ready to rock-n-roll

I told Zach he didn't have to be the hand-me-down kid every year, but this little costume was too cute not to use again.

In case you forgot...here was my little Champ 3 years ago. :)

Cute 'lil Bobcat

Mom & her pumpkins

We met up with some friends to go trick-or-treating around our neighborhood...here's Ben with Wesley & Bella. They had so much fun...running door to door and screaming!

Back home after a successful night of trick-or-treating!

Even though Ben had a lot of fun trick-or-treating...he almost enjoyed handing out candy when we got home just as much. We assisted the first few times, but then he had a handle on it all his own. Nick and I would just hear him commenting on kids' costumes...telling everyone that they could only have one pieces of candy...and then wishing them a Happy Halloween...it was pretty entertaining. :)

Pumpkin Carving

We had to kind of hunt around town for pumpkins left (nothing like waiting until the last minute), but we did manage to find a couple to carve!

Getting ready to dig in...

Love the face. :)

We were giving Ben a hard time because he would dig around in there and come up with only a pumpkin seed or two.

Oh boy...of course this was going straight to the mouth.

Goofy 1 & 2.

Time to let the boys do some 'decorating'...

...yep, straight to the mouth again.

We thought these pumpkins represented the boys quite well. ha

The finished products! No master carvers around here. :)

Happy BDay Dad!

Ben couldn't wait to get up and help Dad make his bday breakfast. :)

Zach was supervising.

Mmmm...chocolate chip pumpkin pancakes!

Beth came over and hung out with the boys so Mom & Dad could go out to dinner, but the boys waited up so we could have some bday dessert when we got back home!

Tailgating Fun

A few shots tailgating at a couple of the Cat games...

Tailgating's hard work!

Oh how the times have changed...here's the real life of the party these days!

Livvy Weedin, Tahlia Taylor, Hadley Holmquist, Ben, Brady Weedin, Elsye Robinson & Harper Holmquist

Little cutie pies - Tahlia, Liv, & Harper

The kids have so much fun running around crazy.

This was pretty funny...Ginny Daws (Ali's mom) had brought some cupcakes (with about 2 inches of frosting) and got them out and all of the sudden it was mass chaos of kids and frosting head to toe...but they were loving it!

And we hit a wall...Zach was taking a little snooze & little Liv thought she would join him for a quick rest. :)

My sleepy little bobcat.

Up in the stands. The boys do pretty good considering that the day gets a bit long.

Keeping themselves busy.

A couple other shots of some of our other favorite tailgating buddies...Zach & Beth...

...and Ben & Rob.

Randoms

Some randoms over the last few weeks!

Zach & Dad...'watching' football. :)

Tuckered little boy.

I went shopping for a couple hours and when I came home Dad had helped Ben turn our living room into a big tent...Ben was pretty proud of his 'fort'!

My sweet little boy....they don't stay baby nearly long enough...I love their little hands holding a bottle.

And my crazy boy!

We're finally sitting pretty stable...Zach started sitting around 6 1/2 - 7 months and took a few weeks to finally get stable enough to sit and play!
