Halloween


Laura aka Little Red Riding Hood


Paul aka Cowboy Paul


Sarah aka This Little Piggy



The group shot. You'll notice Paul was not to keen on dressing up. He didn't even want to stay dressed up long enough to go get candy from the neighbors. Maybe next year.

So I think you all really want to see some more pictures of Sarah...

Sarah making a kissy face (TODAY -- 5 weeks old/ 1 month & 6 days)

Since Paul doesn't sit still for long, I don't have many pictures of Sarah and Paul, so here's a solo shot of Paul today...

There is a lot to catch up on. Let's start with Laura's birthday. Grandma Bonnie was down to visit, see the new baby and celebrate Laura's birthday with us on the actual day.

Here's everyone.

Here's Laura's first day at school

Here's Paul doing what he does.

Saturday we celebrated Laura's 5th birthday. She doesn't really turn 5 until the middle of September, but with the new baby coming and school starting soon PLUS a request for a pool party, we thought celebrating a month early would work out best.

We were blessed to have no rain and use of the Maloy's pool and backyard. (Thanks Curt and Holly!) Pool time with friends, Chick-fil-a, cake, ice cream, and presents. What more could you ask for...

Happy Memorial Day!

So now that it has been over a month since Paul's 1 year birthday, here are some pictures...

First, Jeff's parents came down to visit a week or so before Paul's birthday and just a little after Grandma Bonnie's birthday, so we took some time to celebrate.

yum, cake!

On Paul's actual birthday we had dinner at Wendy's parents. I forgot to bring the camera but Aunt Christy had her's and took some great pictures.

Happy Birthday Grandma!!

This morning I walked in from the dining room to this...


Do you think he wants to go outside?

Sunday morning after christmas we drove up to spend a few days with the Corbett side of the family.

Collin, Uncle Jim and Aunt Sandy. I'm pretty sure Laura took this picture. I didn't even need to crop it.

Christmas 2009 - Part II

Christmas morning we went to celebrate at the Stum's with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Lindsey, Aunt Christy, Uncle Ben, Luke, Julie and Uncle Kevin.

Christmas 2009 - part I

Christmas eve we opened a few presents and then went to a service at our church (an early service so we could get plenty on sleep).

(great)grandpa Bill sent me this lovely picture of the kids with (great)grandma Anita. It must have been taken sometime this summer...

Next up, christmas pictures!

Yesterday it snowed and we got somewhere around 20 inches of fluffy stuff. Today it isn't snowing, so after Jeff spent three hours shoveling out ours and some neighbors cars (with our neighbor Bill's help), Laura and I went out for some fun.

Halloween

The kids just got dressed up and ready for trick-or-treating. Mommy wanted pictures.

I have been wanting to post a video since blogger makes it so easy, but have had trouble finding one that I wanted to post. So finally, a fairly recent video of Paul playing:

A week or so ago Laura and I colored some pumpkins. Unfortunately we used washable markers and left them out in the rain. Fortunately we took pictures before it rained. The neat part is that we grew these pumpkins ourselves from the seeds of last year's pumkin!

Laura turned 4 years old over 1 month ago. Labor Day weekend we went up to visit the Pennsylvania grandparents and celebrated Laura and Grandpa Jeff's birthdays...

The next week, on Laura's birthday, we had birthday celebration II, and the Stum's for the family in Maryland. Our friend Marc and his daughter Kaitlyn came to celebrate along with the family.
