Halloween

Harrison has been in Joy school this Fall and has loved it! They had a Halloween party that was a blast!! He let me put on the plastic parts of his Transformer costume at first (but no jumpsuit) and then had everything taken off within a few minutes which is sad because I asked him for weeks what he wanted to be and this was it! I even tried it on him in the store to make sure he would wear it...since he has such issues with clothes! Oh, well!

Everyone looked great! Thanks for such a fun time!

One of Harrison's loves is dancing...we need to get a new video camera or a camera that has video because it truly is priceless to see!


a very satisfied customer...


It is a challenge to get Ryan to dress up so I told him this year that if he found something that he liked then I would find something to match...so here we are, a centurion and some greek goddess/empress of sorts a rough and tough transformer and the yummiest cupcake ever!
notice the bend on that knife ;)

he told daddy the shapes he wanted for the face and then helped clean out the pumpkin

Did your family's ever make you do the awkward stand at the door Halloween night? yup, carrying on the tradition

His first door...and this year he actually said Trick or Treat!

when my family came to visit...

So hopefully this is the last of my summer pics...My family flew out in August to visit San Fran with us. It was so fun! It was my parents and my youngest and my oldest brother. On Monday and Tues. we went into San Fran all day. They saw peir 39, alcatraz, fisherman's warf, a meseum, trolley ride, ww II ship and sub, a bus tour all around the city.

Then on Wed we drove down to Santa Cruz and went to the boardwalk...a really fun amusement park right on the beach. And yes, that is Harrison's little head behind me, sitting with Grandpa on the log ride! He was so cute and had fun, but you should have seen his face on the pic! I will have to scan it in, it's hilarious.
He loved all the kiddy rides too...


There's the beach and Ry and Nathan taking the easy way to find us.


Watching a few surfers catch some waves

10 years ago we went here on our honeymoon...I can't believe we've been married 10 years!! And what crazy 10 years I'd have to say!
We stayed in Monerey and on thurs. we drove down hwy 1 and saw Big Sur area...this is a famous bridge
