Decorations for Halloween
I decided to make some decorations with the kids one afternoon. We made some ghosts out of Elmer's glue, ghosts out of foot prints and spiders from hand prints. The others are more decorations care of Jessi.
Pumpkin Patch 2010
I am really far behind and trying to catch up. We did make it to the pumpkin patch this year. Actually a few times, just not all together. Here are some pictures of when we all went together and then Tanner went with a friend. Enjoy!

Jessi was mad that she couldn't go in, but she tried to pet them through the fence.

Jessi's Art
Jessi does art at school every day. SO as you imagine the pile was growing. In an attempt to save them, but not save them, we have taken pictures and kept a few.
They also do hats often.
Yesterday they wore what they have been working on for the last few weeks and came out of class dressed as Indians with papooses and all. The boys had quivers.

Walking
Here are a few videos of Hunter walking. The first is on his birthday and he just was done and didn't want to do it anymore. Then next is the next morning. And then a later that day.
Sorry for the tilted movies. I don't know how to turn them.

ONE year old
I am late as usual in posting. I have a lot of catch up to do for October. Hunter turned one a few weeks ago. We had a little celebration with family at our house the Saturday before. It was good to see everyone and to let Hunter play with his cousin, Rochelle, now that they are a little more interactive.
Hunter had a lot of help opening the gifts.
He also paused a few times to give us some great "cheezers".
He lost interest fast in opening but then Chris had to help him hold on to his toy so the other kids wouldn't take it away.
Then we had cupcakes. The kids were trying hard to be patient.
Hunter was very calm about his cupcake. Very like him. He just slowly ate it bite by bite.
Then Daddo decided to get in on the action. I think he got a little off of Hunter's hand when his WHOLE HAND ended up in Daddo's mouth!
On Hunter's actual Birthday I was not the nicest Mommy and I took him to his check up and we got shots. He got 3 and I got 1 (flu shot). He is now 21lbs 5oz and 29.5 inches long. He has slowed down a little in his growth, which is normal and is now in the 28Th% for Weight and 42ND% for Height. Down from 40 and 81%. He is a happy growing baby.
Also in other news: Hunter WALKS! He decided that he would begin on this birthday. He had taken a few steps (1-2) before then in between things. But on his birthday he decided to walk 8-10 in a row and is getting more and more confident daily. He still prefers crawling, but if there is a wall near by or anything he can push across the floor, he will walk.
He is also drinking whole milk and eating all table foods. He is a little more picky about his milk than the other two, so we have to heat it in the microwave for a few seconds, but at least he isn't refusing it.
He is still sleeping fairly well, only occasionally does he not go back to sleep on his own at night. I think he is getting some more teeth again. He is up to 6 now.
He also is starting to be more fun for the other kids to play with. It is hard sometimes to keep them away from him. Jessi is still a little rough and half the time Tanner wants to tackle him, but overall he is a really good sport about them and they get along well.
He isn't talking yet, but he babbles all the time and is starting to scream at the kids if they do something he doesn't like. I'm sure he will start talking soon.
Here are some pictures that I took on his birthday at the park. Enjoy!

Walk-A-Thon and Harvest Festival 2010
Jessi had her first walk-a-thon and Harvest Festival at school a few weeks ago. She enjoyed walking with her classmates and completed 11 laps in the time that they had. The boys and I walked along with her and then stayed to help with water for the second group. They were troopers.
Later that night we were able to attend the Harvest Festival. Jessi wanted her teacher, Mrs. Carroll to make her hair crazy.
Can you see the enjoyment on her face as the hair is hair sprayed and teased?
More teasing and hair color.
More color and finally feathers. Jessi even asked for more feathers.
Then we were able to go to some other booths and blow ups.
Take one of the cake walk. MJ/Hunter, and Daddo/Tanner. No luck this time.
Take two of the cake walk. Gaga and Tanner. No luck again.
Take three of the cake walk. Tanner, Jessi, Mommy, Daddy/Hunter, Daddo, and Gaga. Success!
Gaga and Daddo also bought each of the kids a new stuffed animal.
Overall it was a great night and a great fundraiser for the school.
