Miles is Six!

Last month, Miles celebrated his big 6th birthday with a party at the Dinosaur Museum. Miles loves all things dinosaurs and had a blast with his friends.

When it came time for Miles family party two days later, Tate had a nasty stomach flu and so we couldn't get everyone together at our house. Grandma Kaye came to the rescue and moved the party to her house. Miles didn't mind at all. He had a fun afternoon with his Grandma and his Dad took him to McDonalds before his evening party with his cousins.







Six days after that, Miles lost his first tooth. He is growing up so fast! He is such a wonderful boy. Miles is always keeping me on my game by teaching me things I never dreamed I needed to know. He is smart, well-mannered and happy. We love having Miles in our home. Happy Birthday!

Little Liam

Just wanted to share some great pictures of our darling little Liam. These ones were taken at the hospital, when Liam was only one day old.











The next set of pictures were taken by my talented photographer friend as a gift to me. Liam is around 3 weeks old in these photos.

Megalodon 2.0 and The Frog

Oh, my cute little trick-or-treaters. Miles insisted on going as a shark again this year. He also insisted that he was a Megalodon shark, which is his favorite, even though they are extinct. Tate still loves all things frog, and loved putting on his adorable costume. We role played the trick-or-treating experience with him so that he would be prepared, but he seemed disappointed when I told him that not everyone would give him Skittles.

It was a really cold, wet and windy night, but we set a record this year for trick-or-treaters - 125! Yes, I know I am a dork for counting, but I think it's fun to keep track. Tate had to come in early, since he got too cold outside and didn't like battling other kids to get to the candy. Scott had to drag Miles in, or else he still might be going door to door. Liam was a bit fussy, so he didn't wear a costume, nor did he make it into the required photo shoot. But, suffice it to say, that he was still as cute as ever.

I promised Miles donuts and hot chocolate after, and then realized that most donuts have eggs in them. My friend Kimberly used to make easy, eggless donuts in college and so she came to my rescue with her simple method. They turned out really well and were quite tasty. Miles insisted on blue glaze, but I made some fun Halloween ones as well. All in all, a perfect evening!
