Halloween 2009

We had a super fun Halloween this year!

Friday evening we carved our pumpkins. Layla really hated touching the pumpkin insides, but Benny loved it. He wanted to eat everything! :)

On Saturday, all of the kids got dressed up! Layla loved her costume. Benny actually didn't mind wearing his, but he was not too happy to be held by Natalie or Homer while they were in their costumes!

Happy Halloween!

We bought Layla a trike for her birthday. She is too short to reach the pedals! But she really enjoyed that it blows bubbles :)


Happy birthday to Layla & Daddy!

A little update....

I have been falling WAY behind on my blog....so much to do and no time to do it! Let's see....


Layla had her first haircut June 4th. That was pretty exciting. She actually sat really nice for the hairdresser.



Benny is growing up so fast. He no longer just lays in one place he is rolling over and he can pull himself anywhere he wants to go. A couple times he has even crawled a little. He is almost sitting on his own, too.





Natalie, Homer Jr and Gregory all worked really hard in school. And each of them passed their grades. So...Natalie will go into the 12th grade...Homer into the 11th grade...and Gregory into the 3rd grade in the fall!!




I think that is all for now... I will try to update more often :P
