Halloween night and all the kids were ready to go and get candy. Cameron was so impatient. he was ready to go "trick or treating" since he got off the school bus. I tried to get him to take a nap but that didn't work. We went out with out friends and thier kids. We were out for a total of 1.5 hours and it quickly filled thier pumpkin buckets. Tyler complianed his bucket was too heavy. He's not complaining anymore, now that he has his stash at home.

Cameron had a costume parade at school after the sing a long. It was lots of fun and the costumes were great.

My little pumpkin Mikaela. Later that night she was a LION. She had so many costumes to choose from. What a lucky girl. No candy for her this year. :-)

Seneca Falls Halloween

Our town has an annual Halloween parade and it starts out with the children trick or treating to the businesses on our main street. Our town is small but the kids ended up with enough candy to last them the rest of the year (it really only lasted 2 weeks).

Tyler was "the Thing" from Fantastic Four. He had some big muscles for the occasion.
Cameron was "Beast" from X-men. He scared a few younglings and you can see why. If I was a toddler and this thing came up to me I would be running the other way too.
Daddy and his boys. Cameron and Tyler love it when daddy joins in on the fun. They love having daddy around.

Mikaela and mom joined the fun at the town halloweeen parade. Mikaela was a strawberry and I was her farmer. Mikaela got a lot of oooo's and awwww's. She really is a cute little girl her hair is long.
We have about 5 halloween costumes for Mikaela this year. Later that day she went from strawberry to a ladybug. Too cute.

Elle and Tyler. Tyler has an admirer and her name is Elle. She likes hanging out with Tyler and thinks he is the greatest. They are in nursery together and spend time together in playgroups and Joy school.
Tyler is clueless about Elle's admiration. He's just happy he has someone to play with. :-)

Mikaela's Hair

Mikaela is only 4 months old and she has HAIR. She was born with a lot of hair and I used to style it in a mohawk. It's a little to long for a mohawk now so we are trying pig tails.

People always comment on how much hair she has, and NO I didn't have terrible heartburn (well maybe just the first trimester).

This picture is to show you my first attempt of styling my baby girls hair. Yeah...now I know why I was a beauty school drop out. Hee hee. She has been a treat to have in our family. She is always happy and has plenty of smiles to make you heart melt. We all love her so much.

First Day Of School

Cameron had his first day of school! I am sooo proud of him. He rode the bus by himself and looked like he had done this all before. I was more worried about him riding the bus but he insisted he wanted to ride it. I think it will work out best especially on those cold snowy mornings, it will be easier to walk him to the corner instead of loading 2 kids and a baby into a van every weekday.

Cameron didn't hesitate to get on the bus, little stinker...I didn't cry much either. what I noticed was how quiet the house was without him. Cameron was ready to go to school and learn and I was ready for him to make new friends and have an outside of home learning experience. Thursday and Friday were only half days. Come Monday, he'll be going to school from 9-2:55. Poor Tyler was bored without his brother. I thought it was quite peaceful. Tyler and I hung out, read books, and played on the trampoline while Mikaela slept.

Empire Farm Days August 7,2007

Wow! There are ALOT of tractors out there. this must be a farmers toyland. The boys had alot of fun. They were amazed at all the types of farm equipment. Chris had fun too. Toyota had a driving experience course, using the new Toyota Tundra. Chris could not pass it up. Yamaha also had a driving course and Chris road on a Grizzly and drove a Rhino.

Pioneer Day

We went to Pioneer day in Palmyra on the hottest day in July! It was very hot and humid that day. Cameron and Tyler were fine until we decided to wait in the LOOOONG line for the pony ride. Tyler had a meltdown and couldn't take the heat anymore. We did have fun though. Making butter, decorating cookies and learning how to walk on stilts and lots of good food. Yum yum.
