7 Months

Finally! Taking a bottle...well chewing on it a bit:)

Gettting stuck under the tree!

Playing with Giovanny

Army/Navy

Brandon's dad came all the way from CA to go with Brandon to the Army/Navy game in Philly! The kids had a blast seeing Papa and the guys had an awesome time at the game! (34-0) Go Navy! Beat Army!

Veggie Tales

A group of us went to see Veggie Tales Live! Violet is a HUGE fan and really strutted her stuff! She danced NON-STOP and ran up and down the aisles doing summersaults:) And we couldn't leave until everyone else was gone - I think we have real groupie on our hands!

Football Fan

Brandon is working to make Violet his football buddy!

He's a talker...

Surprise, Surprise, we have another talker in the family:)

Video from Halloween

Here are a few video's from some of the parties last week:

Hitting pinata!

Breaking pinata...what do we do now?!

Talking about Halloween:

Happy Halloween!

Happy (belated) Halloween! We had a whole week full of fun activities. Makes me a little nervous at how full Violet's "social calender" was for just Halloween, can't wait to see what Christmas looks like:) Violet was a Fairy Princess and Owen was a monkey (his costume was actually Chase's costume that my mom made for his first Halloween 11 years ago!).

We started the parties off with my mom's group kids Halloween party. We normally have about 8 or 9 regular attenders to the playgroup, but we were wow'ed with 19 babies and toddlers plus Mommies! My house was wall-to-wall knee-high children. It was super fun, and we were super tired afterwards!

The whole gang (well those that would sit still long enough)

Owen and Judah (2 little monkeys')

Always time to lick icing off of brownies!

We even attempted to have a craft!

Wednesday evening we went out to Crofton to my parents church for a Harvest Party! They have a fun party every year with games, prizes, and of course candy! Note that Owen's Pop Pop is a big banana! What a Pop Pop will do for his grandson. The costume was actually bought for Brandon to wear, but when that didn't happen-Pop Pop to the rescue:) Chase was also there as Zorro! How handsome is he?!!

On Thursday, Violet's playschool had a costume parade and then that evening a party at one of the family's house from the school threw for the kids. They had yum dinner, we decorated cupcakes, hit on a pinata, and got tattoos! What more could a kid want?!

And FINALLY for the Main Event: Trick-or Treating! And to start the night out we went to a little carnival our church put on at our coffeehouse for the community. They had games, of course candy, and lots of cute costumed kids running around!

The LOOT!!

Owen really liked checking out Vi's candy:) Not 'til next year buddy!
