Happy Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun.  Grant's clinic dressed up like the snow white characters and while Olivier (Grant's business partner) got to be the prince, my lovely husband got to be . . . the old hag!  Nice, huh?!?!  Here is my prince:
 
 
I took the day off of work to spend with the kids and help out with their Halloween festivities at school.  Each class had a party and a hayride.  Olivia's class also went trick or treating at the retirement community next door.  Here is my little lion in his class with his buddies:


And on his hayride:
Here's my princess:

Then we went over to Randy and Sara's so the kids could trick or treat with Gracie.  Here is Owen trying on Gracie's crown:

Late October Update

Here are some pictures and videos of the kids playing from the end of October.  Here is a video of Olivia helping Owen play with her sit-n-spin:
 

 
Olivia loves to draw and color - she is getting really good at it.  We were very proud of this picture she made.  She told us it was a plane on a runway.  I think it is very good for a 4 year old!
 

Just cuddling with my little man:

NC State Fair

We went to the fair with the kids this year and had a great time.  Olivia got to ride several rides and we ate entirely too much fried stuff!  We even ran into our friends, Harmony, Brian, Ian and Chloe there!  Here are some pictures and videos from the trip:

Mid-October Update

Here are just some cute pictures and videos of Owen from the middle of October.  Here he is passed out in his high-chair.  I guess he didn't want to eat that badly . . .
 


Olivia dressed him up with her shades:

 
Here is my little piggy chowing down on some pasta - his favorite:
 

 
 

Olivia loves to do my hair - here is one of her masterpieces.  Isn't it beautiful???


Here are the kids playing catch with Daddy.  Even Owen does pretty good with it:

Hillridge Farms

We had our annual trip to Hillridge Farms this year and Chad, Becca, Drew and Emma came up to go with us.  We had a great time and really wish we got to hang out with them more often.  Here are the pictures and videos from that trip:
