HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The boys and I always enjoy decorating for Halloween. I'm not sure why we love it sooo much....maybe it's because Bay and I have birthdays in October or maybe it's because it kind of kicks off the start of the holidays. From our birthdays through Christmas our house is decorated for the up coming holiday. No matter if it's Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas we enjoy it!

The morning of Halloween Max had to wear his "little pumpkin" sleeper with his "my first boo" bib. The bib was a gift from Wendy RN, his nursery nurse at delivery and one of our nurses while we were in the hospital.

Look at that precious smile!!! Ok, this little outfit was Bayley's first Halloween costume. Little Bayley had trouble filling it out at 3 wks old. I thought it would be neat to have photos of Max in it too. Clearly a child of mine, already loving Halloween and all of the fall fun!

I thought the boys would enjoy eating hot dog mummies, breadstick bones and cinnamon & sugar broomsticks for lunch. Both Bay and Jackson thought they looked "cool". I guess Joe liked them since he ended up eating most of the mummies.

Special Boo-cakes for breakfast!

PRECIOUS BABY

Catch'n a few zzzz on Grandpa Rinehart's shoulder.

Looking super cute in his outfit from Granna Sheila. Ready for his first day of church at Red Brush.

Ready for church and still a little sleepy...me too buddy.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY MAYA!!

Luckily we were able to hang around on Sunday and join in the fun celebrating Maya's 2nd birthday.

Little Max enjoying the party.

Wow, last year the photos were easier to get! Maya was on the move pretty much the whole time. That girl likes a party...then again she is named after Aunt Julie, so it make sense!

Uncle Joe holding the graphics of Dora and Boots for Ava, Maya and Ella to see and touch. He's got a soft spot for those little girls!

Ryan and his beautiful little Ella, with ice cream on her face...It is a party afterall.

Vayda looks so grown up in her little vest and scarf. Uber Chic!!

FALL HARVEST FESTIVAL 2009

We made our annual trip home for the Fall Harvest Festival Parade in Louisville. The guys loved getting the candy and visiting with family. What a beautiful weekend for being outside!

Bay, Andrew and Jackson along the parade route gathering candy.

Little Max with his Great Grandpa Boose. Max got his middle name, Vaughn, from his GG Boose.

Here he is with Grandma Dorothy.

LAZY SATURDAY MORNINGS

Now who doesn't love a lazy Saturday morning?!

A beautiful full smile and a giggle

Max smiling at his big brother Jackson. It is amazing to see how intently Max watches and listens to his brothers. I don't know what Jackson was talking about, but it must have been really interesting.


The following two photos are me playing with my new camera I got for my birthday. This was literally the first time I used it. Just thought you may like to see how cute Max is!!
