Halloween…

We have been having beautiful weather after those 2 feet of snow that fell.  But Ethan really enjoyed playing in the “no” (snow for those that don’t speak Ethan). 

And just to show you, this was our backyard last Thursday (10/29) at around noon. 

Anyway, for Halloween we went to the church’s children’s party and had the 2 youngest there.  Unfortunately, Ethan wouldn’t let go of my hand and Dad was holding Nyla so I didn’t get too many pictures.  I did get this one of Ethan with his Bat hat that he made:

And I have so many other pictures I want to share, but you can go to the picassa site and check those out right here.

Anyway, here is a picture of the kids in their costumes:

Ethan loves to hold his sister, and for those who didn’t think I would put her in pink, here you go:

So, compare last Thursday, to yesterday.  We were at the park with some friends:

We have been keeping busy and trying to take pictures.  So check out our pictures at the link above.

Thanks for reading!

From Leaves to Blizzard

So, I know I promised to try to post more using Blog and I haven’t done so well.  But today is a perfect day to give you all updates.

We enjoyed having my (Patti's) parents here through October 15th or so when they headed back to California.  They were here for her first bath:

To watch Baseball games with Grandma Betty & Papa Bob (while mom & dad went out for dinner!):

Bake Cookies:

And of course, play with Aunt Theresa as well!

Ethan is being a great older brother and helping us with changing Nyla’s diapers and making sure she is happy.  Also, he wants to make sure she doesn’t have 2nd child syndrome and at least once a day says “picture, picture.”  Sometimes at inopportune moments (i.e.. while I am feeding Nyla). 

The other day is was beautiful outside, so we decided it was time to play in the leaves.  Ethan had fun, but we aren’t sure if Dad and Belikan had more fin or not!

Mom did get in on the fun a little bit

Nyla even came out to enjoy it!

Dad & Ethan carved pumpkins yesterday.  Ethan didn’t have as much fun as we hoped, but it was still a good time!

And of course, today proves the true Colorado!

So, we are sitting inside enjoying the fireplace and will likely head back out again after Ethan’s nap.
