Halloween Weekend

We got things started with a new pumpkin and some pumpkin socks.



Then the cousins came in town. Matt and Will are the perfect age to entertain 2 year olds. The boys were so sweet to their cousins.


Here Stella is getting her hair styled by Matthew.


Now she's getting some gameboy tips from cousin Will.


The boys reading "Oh Dear" to Aaron.


Aaron trying out his tough guy batman face. But it was all for naught. He started feeling badly the day before so by the time it was ready to trick or treat Aaron was not happy. Plus it was really rainy and we didn't want to make him worse. We let him stay home with his grandparents who I hear took lots of pictures of him.

All the outdoor pictures we took Halloween night are awful because of the weather but trust me when I say we had fun. Stella is having a hard time letting go of this holiday. Luckily all the Christmas stuff is already out (this makes me crazy) so she can go from pumpkin lights straight to Christmas ones.

Goodbye Halloween!

Pre-Halloween practice

I was out of town this weekend (gasp! Without the kids! Double gasp!)so David met Auntie Dee at Fernbank for their annual Bugs, Bats and Bones day. Good times.


The Stella-bug and her Ikea bear. She was a little out of sorts at first.



Stella and the Bat. David said she wouldn't leave this poor thing alone and just kept following it around to get a hug.



Our very own Bruce Wayne...aka Batman. He'd wear the mask if you didn't pull it over his face.



Trying to distract his dad so as not to divulge the entrance to the batcave.

They had a great time. We'll post more on Saturday for the big event.

some Stella goodness

Stupid tunnel. Ladybug needs to get in the tunnel!!



Too excited about her $1.50 flannel pj's.



We can't all be morning people.



Trying on her brother's Halloween costume



Dun nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh BATMAN!!!

Cheeseburger?

So you want me to hold the tomato?

Fly High!

Trying to get another Falcon's win by showing our support. The one week they didn't wear this the team lost. Coincidence? I think not.




Stella also chants "Tony Tony Tony" for Tony Gonzales.

How I spent my summer vacation

Hi! Aaron here. My mom decided to let me do this posting since it's all about me. You'd think they never took pictures of me since my sister is such a ham but here's proof that they never put the camera down around me either.



I'm looking pretty good here in my hawaiian outfit. Anyone wanna cuddle up with me on the couch?



Here I am reading to one of my girlfriends, Deanna. I am pretty irresistible.



And here I am with my Nana. She's my great grandma and almost 90 years old! But it just goes to show you that I'm a hit with the young and old.



See! Here I am with my Nana and my PopPop. He's big Gus and I'm little Gus. My great Grandpa is awesome. I think I'm asking them for a pony in this picture.



Whew, playing with my great grandparents made me so tired. I fell asleep!!



Here I am running for the ocean. I like the beach a lot! My mom forgot my swim trunks. I guess it didn't occur to her that we would be swimming in Florida?



Listening to the tide roll in!



I'll see ya next year!

Love,

Aaron

so sorry

It's been over a month since our last post but we are still alive and we are still planning to post here. Sorry for the long hiatus. But you are here for pictures so I'll get to it.

Here is Stella painting in the morning...



And eating with chopsticks in the evening.






She's looking more and more like a big girl these days. I had to put her in long sleeves and pants a few weeks ago it was so cool outside.


And she likes to crawl into boxes to just hang out. She is nutty.







She's a real character.

Next time I'll post Aaron's pics and vacation shots.
