Halloween 2012

After two Halloween parties, finally the actual holiday arrived.  

And Teddy even convinced Grandma Judy to dress up with us:

Teddy and friends at our neighborhood "parade":

Teddy definitely has the hang of trick-or-treating this year!

Leo, on the other hand, was not so sure:

Teddy and his buddy Daniel, with Paul and Neal:

I found the "Good Witch" Glenda:

The Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion:

And we're off to see the wizard (and we brought Johnny Cash along with us):

Teddy and Dorothy (friend Ella):

And now, candy time:

Mommy and the littlest lion:

Isn't he cute???

Brothers:

Teddy took this picture for us.  I think it's funny because it shows how tall we are.... to him!

I couldn't help but take more pictures of this adorable little lion cub:

And the perfect bed time snack: Milk, and Nerds... only on Halloween!

October Catch Up

October weekends are for football, relaxing,

and pumpkin patches:

Teddy was just a little excited to go this year:

Leo was very excited for his first trip to a pumpkin patch:

And what completes a football October weekend?  Taco Mac, of course:

with a huge dessert.  It doesn't get much better than this!

Leo, again, was excited:

We got Teddy a new car.  He loved it:

And we love his imagination!

Leo is starting to smile all the time.  It is SO much fun!

But it also makes him tired.  Did I mention October weekends are also for napping?

Even Kashewa found someone to snuggle up with:

Around here, October is also for birthdays!  Cousin Jack read to Teddy while we celebrated Uncle Jamie's Birthday:

Grandpa with Jack and Maggie:

Grandma with Teddy and Violet:

LOVE this hand-me-down onsie:

(and by the way, the answer is no!)

Our littlest Hawkeye:

He obviously gets his good looks from his daddy:

OK, so I take a lot of pictures  But how could I resist with this smile???

or this belly!!!?!

And if the belly, the pj's, and/or the baby look familiar... check this out:

Can you tell which is Leo and which is Teddy????

Leo's new hair do: 

My friend Chrissy made some adorable onsies for Leo.  This one says "Early Bird" with a worm:

Grandma Judy and Grandpa Bud took Teddy and violet to the mountain house for a night.  Teddy had a blast.  And when we unpacked, we realized he came home with some new pants: 

 I guess cousin Violet is a little taller than Teddy!

We had a blast at the annual MOMS Club Halloween party.  Shae was out of town for several days, so we took this picture ourselves:

Off to see the wizard...

Our little lion:

Teddy and the princesses:

We have our party at a local nursing home every year.  The children get to trick-or-treat at the resident's rooms.  I am not sure who enjoys it more, the children or the residents.  This sweet lady loved Teddy so much she scooped him up and held onto him!  She didn't want to let him go!

Katie makes a much cuter Dorothy than I do:

By far the cutest outfit at the party (and hand made by her mom); Lane the elephant:

And the Cowardly Lion found the Scarecrow (their birthdays are only 4 days apart):

After trick-or-treating, it is time to eat. Of course:

Teddy and his buddy Vanley the fireman:

Hard to believe this is their third year in a row partying together for Halloween! Time sure flies!!!
