Kids in Costumes

So I'm behind on posts, but here are some fun pictures from a little costume party:

"One of these things is not like the other.... come on tell me now"

The party ends with a wrestling match between an elephant and giraffe.

I'm not sure who won (not Cheetah Christopher as you can see from the previous photo got taken out early)... but Miles is sure to have his share of wrestling matches with his best bud Drew.

The Pumpkin Patch

Miles loves to give hugs.... 

... to anyone.  : )  

Potty Trained... I Still Can't Believe It!!

I'm not sure if it was motivation from seeing his cousin Marin or what, but one day Miles didn't want to wear diapers anymore. That was about a month ago.  I wasn't planning to encourage the switch to underwear until after the holidays, but Miles had other plans.  I had to hurry out and find the coolest little Diego, Thomas, Cars and Bob the Builder underwear so he had stylish options to choose from.  

I am so proud of him.  He got a new trike to celebrate!

We still have naps and nights to work on, but not for a while.  I'm dancing with delight.

Classic Shot of my Husband

I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I'd catch up with a few little posts.

Several weeks back we had a wonderful weekend with solid family time. It was much needed since Drew has been so busy at work. The kids love time with their Daddy.  Okay, me too!  

We went to the Zoo at Saturday and on a long walk in the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge Sunday (at which, Miles successfully used his first Honey Bucket... but more on that later). Check out the second photo. I had to post it because it's such a classic shot of my most wonderful husband.  : )

Gotta love that blackberry....
