Our fun filled October

We went to HallZOOween at the Cincinnati zoo twice, two Halloween parties at playgroups, one night at the school, Shuley's party, fall festival trunk or treat with our ward, pumpkin carving party at our house, and the real trick or treating!
We got use out of our costumes.
We also hit a fun corn maze this past weekend that we found out about through groupon. That was a fun day out with the family.

Last bit of costume fun

I went shopping after Halloween and found a few costumes worth buying. So the kiddos had a fun night playing in some of them.


We have already seen brayden as a knight, but I didn't buy him a new costume so he put this on.

Jenalee is actually wearing a dragon costume I got for our new baby boy to be next year. The kids are attacking her!

Natalie is wearing her new pirate outfit and holding her sword. Just guess the total cost...would you believe 85 cents!! Best deal ever.

This was just a cute picture of Jenalee I decided to post.

Halloween package

We received another halloween package from Grandma Bevans that was filled with clothes and goodies for the kids. Thanks mom!

Thanks Mom!

Our Family Update

We have been very busy this month. Which is great because it means we have been very active and getting out of the house! The above picture was taken after we found out we were having a boy at Wendy's where I stopped with the kids to celebrate their new brother!

Today Natalie had lunch with her school principal as part of the Lady Bug program(student of the month). Bug stands for Behavior, Uplifting attitude, and Grades. She is holding her certificate and a ladybug cookie too.

I forgot to mention that Natalie had a little boy from her class stop by our house(they ride the bus together so he knew where our house was). He handed her a picture he drew and they talked for a little. It was really cute. I wish I had a picture!

Today, we also had a speech evaluation for Brayden with the school district. He will be attending preschool in the next few weeks to help him with some of his consonant sounds. Especially focusing on the "k" sound. He is pretty excited to go to preschool, so that is good.

Jenalee thinks she is pretty big stuff. She can keep up with the big kids, but can also be a cute little toddler when she wants to be. Her vocabulary grows in leaps and bounds(which I must say is reassuring). Sometimes I think Brayden was speaking when it was really Jenalee.

She loves baby dolls right now and has to have one to sleep with at night..luckily it doesn't always have to be the same one! Natalie is really good about sharing them with her, that makes everything easier too!

Sick at home!

We have been sick these past few days, so I decided to sit down and actually blog!

Today we say a deer eating in our back yard and the kids loved watching it.

We have been pretty busy before getting sick. I will try and fill in the past few months in a few blogs to come. But for know please enjoy a few recent pictures of the kids.

Here are a few I took of them before we headed out of the house(unknowingly) for the last time this week on wednesday.
