Brotherly stuff

Made him try on the whole outfit. He really did like it, regardless of this face.
Lucas and Abby watching mommy and daddy clean up the yard from a tree that fell over during a storm. I just love this picture.

Having fun being pulled around in the bean bag!

Hunter making sure Lucas is holding on tight before entering the tunnel.

Just play..Hunter has the best imagination and can spend hours being a police officer, fireman, or any kind of workman or farmer. Sometimes he refuses to answer me unless I call him by his new name, like farmer Hunter or Sam the fireman or Tom the helicopter pilot (I could go on all day here) He often includes Lucas in on the fun, but he usually ends up being some kind of animal!

Dimples, dimples, dimples











Boo!



What a happy ghost!

Play and play.
Sweet Hunter.

Little Lucas...
Playing in the leaves after school. We had some beautiful colors this year.

Typical!

Trying to eat. Lucas is the messiest and hardest kid to feed. He doesn't like baby food so I make most of his food or just give him what we are eating. Not to mention he squirms and fusses through most of the feeding!

This is just a funny picture! I am sure Lucas feels this way most of the time they are wrestling!

Yes, he is crawling! He is on the move. It took him about 2 weeks to get the hang of it and now he is a speed racer. Not to mention he pulls up or climbs on anything he can get a toe hold on. Seems to me that Hunter didn't do this stuff until 9 months...why are we starting 3 months early!










HALLOWEEN!!!

Lucas along for the ride. I would like to say that he actually enjoyed himself, but I think he would have rather been running around with all the other kids.
Unbelievable! Last year Hunter would not go up to a house without the guidance of Chloe and he wouldn't dream of saying trick or treat. This year he was first to the door, had no problem shouting trick or treat and thank you, and then was off running to the next house. One of us had to walk with the stoller while the other ran to keep up with Hunter. I will have some videos up of this soon! It was the funniest thing and at one point I think I actually heard him screaming, "I love candy."

Group photo of all the kids before they were cut loose to trick or treat. This is the best Halloween party and a happy memory that I hope our kids will have about Halloween when they get older. Each year our friends the Pillions host a great family Halloween party. There is good food and company and then the kids go trick or treating up and down the street they live on. It is in the historic section of Abingdon so there is no traffic and the kids get to go to about 25 houses...and this is way more candy than my little 3 year old needs. We have some great friends and some fabulous times in our little town.


Trying to get everyone in.

Lucas's little buddy Jacob. His mother and I were preggo at the same time with our due dates one day apart! Jacob was born one week after Lucas. Jacob's brother, Adam is three and one of Hunter's best friends!

Halloween Party


Yes, we dressed up. I know the costumes are lame, but we did the best we could! If you are trying to guess we are Daisy Duke and Uncle Jessie. I know we are the spitting image of Hazzard county! We actually went out and left the kiddos at home. Thanks Aunt Jenny and Trina!

Trunk or Treat!

David and Radar, Fireman Hunter's fire/rescue dog.
Fireman Hunter. He had the best little costume complete with a hat, boots(hard to walk in) and fire hose. He still loves to dress up and play fireman...it doesn't have to be Halloween.

My car decorated for trunk or treat! We have a contest every year and this year I won 3rd place! Not too bad considering I put this idea together the night before. If you can't tell it is Thomas chugging through the spooky woods! Next year I should bring the track and let the kids all take rides around the car...maybe then I would win 1st place...which is free tuition for the month!


The second place winner---"Cloudy with a chance of meatballs." They gave away rice crispy meatballs.



And the winner was sponge bob. Hunter was scared of him and were many of the kids, but A+ for the mom who put in the effort!
