Halloween

We've made it tradition to celebrate Halloween at my sister Elisa's house. Since she moved to Colorado this year :( we've started a new tradition. We had home made pizza for lunch at Oma's house, and then we went to abu's house for some polenta.

We feel so happy to live close to Oma, opa, abu and papa to share good food and fun with them!

If you couldn't guess we were going with the Toy story theme: Buzz, Woody, Jessie and the 3 eye'd alien. I'm proud to say I sewed Dewayne's vest, my chaps, and made some final touches to my cow girl shirt. Please, don't look too close. Thanks for being a good sport about this Dewayne! I love you!

This pic was taken at the ward halloween party. Sometimes I dislike working bc I miss out on fun! Kinda funny story; Isaac's buzz wings were a hit at the party. All the primary kids wanted to push the buttons that made his wings open and close. When his wings open they say, "buzz light year, to infinity and beyond!" When they close they say, "I am buzz light year, I come in peace." While walking they make swishing sounds, to similate flying. I also have to say that on the inside of the wing pack it says, "this toy does not fly." Isaac had to fight people off his wings. Other than that, Dewayne said the kids had a blast!

Look who's sitting up!

this last week caleb has been very consistent at sitting up with minimal toppling over. It's official, he's sitting up! He'll be 7 months tomorrow.

Oh...That closed smile makes me want to smoother him with kisses?

Dewayne had his tonsils taken out on August 31st and did pretty well. He was eating hotdogs with in 48 hours. The doctor was very impressed with his progress.

Caleb's first haircut at 4 months old!

The before and after pictures are quite obvious.

If it weren't for the dread locks he was growing at the back of his head, he'd still have the fro.

Can you tell that Isaac wants to be just like his daddy! I'm hoping he'll follow in daddy's foot steps and be a worthy preisthood holder when he's older.

Should I be scared that Isaac is so proud he can wear a bra too?
