Trunk-or-Treat/Halloween

Our trunk-or-treat was a lot of fun this year because we actually dressed up. James has never wanted to before, but he was a trooper and got all decked out this year. I'm not sure what he went as, or even what I went as, but it was fun. Brody was our construction worker which was super cute even though he wouldn't wear the hat. We just collected candy in it since I forgot his sack. Zach was our little ghost. James had the option of putting him in a giraffe outfit or the ghost guess he liked this one better. James was such a sweet heart to get everyone ready, make the sloppy joe mix, and get the candy all together while I was gone with the activities committee preparing for the party. Thanks love you are the best. It was great to have Kiana, McKenna, and Jon there with us too.

The fam.. . . don't even ask about James.

My baby ghost!!

Brody cheesing it

Halloween this year was super fun. We had Steve and Heather's family over to go trick-or-treating with. This is a cute picture of Heather and her kids I made her put on James's afro wig and she looked awesome!!

Anyway, this year James rigged a tv outside so that he and Steve could watch football while handing out candy. We pulled the grill out front and had a little party at the same time. It was actually a lot of fun and you could see all the dad's out with the kids straining to watch the game as they went by. Very funny. .. Some even had to come over and ask scores etc. While the guys relaxed Heather and I took the kids out trick-or-treating. Brody was a natural he went right up to the people and said trick or treat and thank you. I was blown away. One lady had some toys in her living room so he invited himself in to play. He has no fear aparently. . . he didn't get that from his mom. We didn't go to very many houses, but I think the kids had a good time. When we got back to our house they had a great time passing out candy to other kids. Over all it was a successful night besides picture taking. Brody wouldn't let me take his picture so that is why one isn't posted.

My boys.

Zach 3 1/2 mo.

Here are some everyday pics of the boys. The boys are both growing up so fast. Brody loves to play with trains, trucks, cars, etc. He is talking more which is nice and says some cute things. When he says I'm coming it sounds like "I'm hummin". He says "On mars, set, go. He asks us "where goin" when we leave a room. He's not one to sit for very long doing one thing unless it's watching a movie! He gets so excited in some of the movies and talks a mile a minute. Then he gets up and dances if there is music and makes sad noises if someone gets hurt etc. It is all very entertaining. He always makes me laugh and gives the best hugs. . . I love you buddy.
Zach is a smiley baby and has smiles for everyone. He has the cutest little laugh that is contagious and you can't help but laugh with him. He loves his hands and always tries to eat them. I try to substitute a binky for his hands or a toy, but that doesn't last long. He is a total drool baby like Brody was so we go through many bibs a day. Zach always wants to sit up and loves to watch people especially Brody. When he looks at Brody he gets a huge grin on his face very cute. Zach is such a lovable little guy we are so happy he is ours.

Daddy's little helper!

Brody loves to help James no matter what he is doing especially if it involves tools. He can't get enough of the tool box full of treasures to find. I thought he was adorable trying to imitate the things that James was doing. He was trying to cut wires, use pliers, and work the drill. Super super cute. James might not feel the same way since he had an extra pair of little hands getting in the way. The water system got installed and my two plumbers did a fantastic job.

Brody's favorite box to play in.
