October 2010

Kate likes to use the army crawl method to get to her toys, especially her guitar. She is very musical!

Sadie and Spencer love to do crafts on the weekend...painting, sticker shapes, coloring.

Then they take a snack break on the deck.

Or a dinner break. Table for two?

We went to a local petting farm one weekend. Spencer wasn't too sure about the animals this time.

It sure was hot!

Spencer rests on a giant mushroom.

And then a rest with Mommy in a whale's mouth.

This was the view from our hay ride.

Most of a family picture.

Sadie spent the night and took over Kate's baby jail for the night in lieu of a crib. The kids hung out there the next morning on her "bed."

Mommy finally got to put Spencer on the school bus one morning. This is where he waits...

Oh, here comes the bus!

And his fabulous driver, Ms. Jamie.

Kate took Spencer for a ride around the house.

But she prefers to drive solo.

Cutest picture of the cousins holding hands down the slide.

Froggie says Ribbett!

Go Horsey Go!

Halloween 2010

We started Halloween weekend off by visiting Spencer at school for the parade and trick-or-treating through the office and kindergarten classes. Spencer is posing with his friend Nolan, the knight.

Trick or treat! Say Thank You!

Spencer's class

Daddy supervises snack time.

Spencer went out to the "pumpkin patch" and picked a pumpkin to decorate with his friend Aria.

Buzz Lightyear...To Infinity and Beyond!

Decorating his pumpkin with Ms. Barbara.

Aunt Julie and Sadie joined us for trick-or-treating on Halloween night.

Buzz Lightyear and our little Ladybug

Don't forget Minnie Mouse!



Checking out his loot

M's will do the trick!

September 2010

After many tries, we finally got a picture of all three kids sitting on the bench. Please ignore Kate's snowman bib. I realize it is still summer but it was the first bib I grabbed :-)

Spencer is sporting Aunt Julie's sunglasses. He is one cool dude!

Uncle Toby and Aunt Miryam visited from Seattle, and Kate got to meet Miryam for the first time. I thought we took a picture of Toby too but we must have missed it this trip.

Kate loves her various exersaucers and jumperoos. Here she is attacking an unsuspecting dinosaur in a shopping cart.

Spencer loves playing trains...

...and so does Daddy! Somehow the trains just keep growing.

Who's that girl??? It's Kate!

Mommy bought Spencer a Diego scooter at a consignment sale, and he loved it! It was the best $4 ever spent! (Not to mention the story that goes behind it...Aunt Julie practically stole it from another Mom who was looking at it. Hey, not our fault she let go of it!)

Sadie gives it a try and likes it too. Go Diego Go!

Misc. August 2010

Spencer and Daddy were having a good time filling up Spencer's front loader with water.


...and then dumping it!

Sadie and Spencer played outside with the water table all day. Spencer was apparently missing from the pictures though.

Sunday #26 08/22/10

For some reason, we didn't take a pictures this week. Hmmm, guess we were busy.

Sunday #25 08/15/10

Spencer and Kate like to get ready for night-night on Mommy's bed.
