Bye Bye, Michigan!

Posing after breakfast with Mommy's T-town friends. Niki w/ her niece Katelynn, Courtney, Calder, Marla and Corey. Oh, and we're not exactly sure who that is standing behind us, but his nose sure had taken a beating!!

Spending some quality time with Great-Grandma before she heads to Arizona for the winter!

Calder's first bonfire!

Calder, Jacob and Ella collecting sticks for the bonfire!

Calder actually pooped out shortly after we started the bonfire. But Ella and Jacob stuck it out and snuggled together to stay warm.

Halloween Fun!

Our little owl is getting ready for Halloween! Hoot! Hoot!
We had a little Halloween party at Grandma's house. The kids had a great time showing off their costumes. From L to R, Ella as Tinkerbell, Jacob as Spiderman, Ethan as a scarecrow, Calder as an owl and Reese as Pocahontas! Aren't they cute!?

Mommy and Daddy with their little blue-eyed owl.

A football star in the making!

Here's Calder practicing his long-snapping skills in Grandma's yard!

Ok, so maybe he hasn't exactly caught on to the fact that basketball is a completely different sport, that doesn't require long-snapping!

Three Little Buddies Meet Again!

We went to Michigan this weekend and were able to get together with a bunch of Mommy's high school friends (and kids)! Here, Sam (17 1/2 months), Carter (14 months) and Calder (14 months) finally meet again! My, how they have grown since they last played together, back in November 2006!

The boys had a blast playing with every toy they could possibly pull out of Sam's room. They were still going strong well past 9pm! Wow!
Calder spent most of the evening hanging out in Sam's Little Tikes car (and not wanting to share!) We're starting to think it's his one true love! He's played with one on 3 occasions -- each time we've literally had to pull him away from it.
Santa, are you reading this????

The Spooky Tree

Calder is obsessed with his Spooky Tree. He carries it around excitedly and says 'Who! Who!' to mimic the little owls that pop out the top!

Pumpkin Patch!

Trying to decide which pumpkin to take home. They all seem so small, but I guess this one will have to do!

I called this the 'boppy gourd'. It was the exact same shape as the boppy pillow!

Now this is what I call a pumpkin!!!

Can't I take home one of these???
