Halloween 2010

Since we don't eat candy (except Daddy) we've always used Halloween as an excuse to dress up and go and visit friends we havent' seen in awhile.  Mom has always helped boys get ready and Daddy takes them visiting. 

One major stop along the way is always the Bethel Heights City Hall, where there are some fun games to play and Papa has special bags for them that include things besides candy-- stuff they can actually keep!  Dad gets all the candy they collect along the way.

Now, before you judge these costumes too harshly, they were created 30 min before leaving for City Hall!  Costumes aside, gotta admit those are some cute looking clowns!

 Matt is too old for this silliness, so he stayed home with me.

Classic Taylor "Pout" (this time it's for fun:)

Taylor- Fall- Farmer's Market

Taylor and I went to the Farmer's Market on a "date" one Saturday morning.

One to always feel money burning a hole in his pocket, Taylor insisted on a little "face painting".  He went "all out" on the Dragon.

Taylor and I went to the Farmer's market and he brought some of his own money.  See how he spent it below:  Dragon Face

Mom's Haircut

After many years of growing my hair... I can't believe I decided to cut 10 inches off this year!

I wish I would have placed this ponytail next to a ruler for scale... 10 inches of hair... sigh...

I can hear "Achey Breaky Heart" in my mind when I look at the fake mullets below...

And here's Noah with the blond pony

Noah- T-ball

T-ball is one of the cutest little heart-warming games ever!  Those kids are just figuring out (or trying to) the game and the positions.  Some are more interested in the dirt, dust, flowers etc, but others are very focused.  Noah was a very focused player this year!

The Yankees line-up (there were other kids on the team not pictured here):

Speedy Seiter running to first!

Noah was #1 this year.

Noah's Front Teeth

Sniff... it's bittersweet!  Noah has lost a front tooth... better said, my BABY has lost a front tooth.  Gone is my little boy Noah- he is growing up and as much as Jeff and I would like, we can't stop it!

See the before and after below (Rebecca, warn Michael there is a little blood before he looks :) )
