New Family Pics

So...we FINALLY got our First-Ever "professional" family photos taken a few weeks ago! We braved the cold - it was only 35 degrees that day. The photographer did a GREAT job - thanks Yolanda! The boys did pretty well, and only used their "cheezy" smiles about half of the time :). So glad that we got these done. I love outdoor pictures, especially in the Fall when the leaves are turning colors. I thank God for my beautiful family!!!

Fall Fun!

Masen, Dawson and Taylor had fun playing in the leaves this week! Notice our "not-so-big" pile of leaves :). That didn't matter though! Whether it was throwing the leaves in the air or rolling in them - they all had a lot of fun! It was so beautiful on Monday and Tuesday (in the 70's). Now it's only in the 30's :(. We have some really beautiful trees in our backyard and they turn a beautiful red and orange color in the Fall. I really think that Fall is my favorite time of year! Enjoy the pics below!

Dawson, Taylor and Masen enjoy taking a rest in the leaves together!

Halloween 2008

The boys had a lot of fun on Halloween this year. The festivites started the day before when we went trick-or-treating at Nini's work. On Halloween day, Masen had his first Kindergarten party. I was lucky to be able to help out with this party! Then we went to Nini and Pops and

G-G's houses. Of course, the boys had to carve pumpkins with Pops - this is a tradition! Halloween night we went to "Boo Bash," where the boys played a lot of fun games, danced and came home with about 2 lbs of candy! We finished off the night by trick-or-treating and Colton's house. Whew! It was a LONG day...we'll be eating candy for weeks.

Here are a few pics of the costumes this year. Dawson was Spiderman and Masen was a Ninji/Power Ranger.
