Halloween!

What a fun night! We had all our friends over for a healthy meal of mac-n-cheese and hotdogs then we ventured out for candy. As you can see, Addie was a Wacky Spider, Chris was Chuck (skit character from YL club) and I was Candy (another YL character). After we put the kiddos to bed in cribs and playpens, all the parents enjoyed some wine and wii until midnight. We haven't spent a late night together since the kids were born so it was a blast!!!!

YL Halloween Club

There are so many fun things we get to do while being a YL leader...seeing your friends and kids dressed up in the most ridiculous outfits is just one of them! We had a costume club this past Thursday and had a great time with all the kids. Here are just a few of the pictures...


The Leaders
Shiloh...horribly funny 80's jazz girl
Chuck (Chris) and his guys

Cute smile and more hats

Crazy Sleeping

I went to check on Addie yesterday as it took her awhile to fall asleep. When I walked in I found something that was so sweet. As you can see, she found a different way to sleep. I laughed and wondered how long she could sleep like that....30 minutes. (she's the queen of 30 minute naps)

Boys in the Bath?!?!?

Yep. All of Addie's friends are boys since our dear friends the Cranks moved so Addie is getting the feeling of what it's like to have brothers. We have really gotten to know and love the Pulliams and since they live right down the street, it's easy to just have spontaneous hang out sessions. We saw them the other night on a walk and invited them over for a little Wii fun...Chris has gotten me hooked on Wii tennis and bowling. :) As it was approaching bedtime, we decided to throw both the kiddos in the bath. Addie and Rylan had a blast....as well as the parents. We got a kick out of it!

Our Great Pumpkin

We have had a great weekend! We had NOTHING planned and really didn't have to be anywhere besides hang out as a family. As I type, the sun is shinning in, Addie's asleep, and Chris is being manly in the backyard. Let's see, so far he's broken the hose and water drip line...but I do appreciate all he is doing! Correction...Addie was asleep.

Yesterday Chris's folks and Grandma came down for the day. We had a great time with them and wish we were closer. We didn't have anything on the agenda besides just hang out together so we ventured down to the park for lunch and a stroll. Grammy spoiled Addie with a few fun gifts and then we all headed out to the pumpkin patch...of course after stopping by the candy store. :)

So the pumpkin patch...we've gone to this one for the last 4 years and like it because it has random props to take pictures with. The only bummer this year was that all the pumpkins were picked over and only rotten ones remained. Needless to say, we bought some butternut squash and no pumpkins. However, the highlight for me was the Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin sign with Addie in front of it...she was so cute!

Weekend of firsts

Let's start with Friday....
Chris has been working in the press box at the high school football games for a few years now. The announcer is called "The Voice of the Bearcats." We have always joked that Chris will get to be "The Voice" one day...his wildest dream came true on Friday. :) This was no ordinary night though, it was homecoming in Paso. He did an amazing job and we got a few pictures of him in action. Addie girl got to experience her first Bearcat football game for a little while before it was bedtime. Too much fun!



Addie in the press box...loving it...not really.

Saturday...
Paso has a parade in town called Pioneer Days. Atascadero (the neighboring town/competitor) has one another weekend called Colony Days. We couldn't make it to Paso's and since Chris knew some kids in the Atascadero one, we headed down for a fun morning...had to pick up donuts and coffee first! Addie got to watch her first parade in the North County and loved the loud music and horses. She was all about waving to people passing by.
