October Happenings

Fall is my favorite! I know, I say that all the time. Having kids just makes fall even MORE fun. Here is what we have been up to lately. 

Remlinger Farms with our neighborhood. Cooper loved the rides! 

JOY!!

Enjoying the fall sunshine

Making Kpa birthday "ka cakes"

You may notice that the decorator taste tested the goods. 

Cooper loves to build lately. 

Cooper helping Daddy build. He was really into putting the pieces together. It was quite an adorable sight.

Fall Walks

I woke up to this sweet sight, father and son breakfast

Digging for dinosaur bones with Grandma

Chris and I went to the windiest UW game ever!! It was crazy! 

Halloween 2014

 We had several Halloween events all month long. The adorable costumes that Nana made got plenty of use! 

Our little lady bug

All dressed up for Cooper's Little Gym Halloween Party

Little Gym Halloween Party

Trick or treat event at the Town Center. Cooper, Grandma and I hit up the local businesses for candy while Chris and Adeline enjoyed some college football at home. 

"Boo Breakfast" and pumpkin carving at TPC.  

Picking pumpkins

When do kids start to carve their own pumpkin? Cooper was interested for .000003 seconds

PEPS Halloween Party! Candy, Crafts and Chaos :) 

Adeline was a little tired...

THE BIG DAY! Happy Halloween!! 

Cooper, helping me take pictures of Adeline in her "First Halloween" outfit. Thanks buddy...

Cooper would not cooperate when it came to clothes, but he would sit still for a picture. I pick my battles. 

Happy Halloween sweet girl. 

The food I made for the pre trick-or-treating festivities for the kids on our street. And by "made" I mean, I put two frozen cheese pizzas in the oven. 

"Worm" jello shots for the adults. (Jello molded in straws!)

Chaos. 

Most of the kids on our street. 

Adeline and I stayed at home and handed out candy. 

Daddy took Cooper trick-or-treating with the other kiddos. Cooper was not so sure at first. He wanted to keep his candy and eat it right away. Then he figured out that he could keep going to more houses and get more candy! Cooper "woves chocolate!" :)

Halloween is exhausting, but SO MUCH fun.  

Benjamin Reid Spier

We have a new nephew!! Keri and Peter had their son Benjamin Reid Spier on October 20th.

I think he looks like his dad :)

Welcome to the family Ben! We love you!!



Cousins!

3 months

Beautiful Miss Adeline, you are 3 months old and as sweet as can possibly be.

Diapers: 2

Clothes: 3-6 months 

Sleep: You are still an AMAZING sleeper. We moved you to your own room. I was quite sad, but it needed to happen. Sadie (the pug) is not sleeping well AT ALL, and she gets up multiple times through out the night. Sadie keeps us up more than you do, sweet heart! You are sleeping in the rock n play and not your crib. We tried your crib, but you did not sleep very well. In your rock n play you sleep from roughly 8 pm - 5 am. It is so weird to be getting this much sleep from such a young babe!! I am beyond grateful!!! 

You continue to be such an easy going little girl. You discovered your hands in the last few weeks. I often find you just staring at them :) 

You seem to be developing so fast. You laughed for the first time already. LAUGHED, right out loud. I find it so appropriate that you laughed at Auntie Stone. :) here are some videos of you laughing with Stone and your daddy.  password:cooper

We still meet with Cooper's PEPS group.   Here you are with the babies from PEPS round 2 :) You are all dressed up because we were having a shower for another baby about to arrive in our little group. Another girl due November 3rd! 

Conner (May 2014) Adeline (July 2014) and Sadie (August 2014)

Hanging our with Great Grandpa Garland :) 

I love you so much little girl. So much.
