Turtle Turtle Turtle

Baby JJ was already to go to Boo at the Zoo!!!

Boo At the Zoo

We headed to the Denver Zoo yesterday for Boo at the Zoo.  The Zoo set up over 30 booths of activities and trick or treating.  The kids got all dressed up and were very excited for all the treats and of course the animals of which were all out and about  (except the polar bear).  Needless to say it was a mad house of people there.  It made for some interesting people watching!

Getting ready for Halloween

I think most people who know me well, know that I love Halloween!!!  One of our family traditions is making a haunted gingerbread house each year.  This year was no exception.  The girls love this tradition I think it is because they eat while they are designing.  Check out all their black mouths!!

The Wildlife Experience

This one is for the Koler family.  Who could forget the green steamer

Hello Diva

Paige loves her nickname "skunk"

JJ took the day off Friday to be with us.  How nice huh!!  Well we decided to go to the Wildlife Experience here in Denver.  Although small it was great fun.

Smile the day away

Okay, so baby JJ does not like to sleep but man he loves to smile and talk now.  How can I ever get mad at the little guy for depriving me of sleep when he looks like this!!!

Halloween preview

The girls selected their halloween costumes this year.  The girls school hosted a harvest festival this year so the girls were able to test them out early.  Sydney wanted to be Violet from the Incredibles ( she wants to have black hair for trick or treating), Abby is princess Aurora, and Paige wanted to be a pink devil (suiting I know).  They had tons of fun.  What about baby JJ you ask.  Well he was wearing the cutest costume of all, a turtle.  Did we get any pictures, no so at least we still have halloween to get some.  

Fall Bliss

Our little man isn't so little.  At two months he is up to whopping 13 pounds and 24 inches.

one of our favorite outfits from his aunt Amanda.  It says "Lock up your daughters"he he

Sydney helped bake this delicious apple pie. A fab fall treat.

Yes that is a real butterfly!

This is absolutely my favorite time of year.  I love the crispness in the air, the smell of spices, and especially the beautiful fall colors.  Two weekends ago we took a little adventure south to find some fall colors, we were a little early, the fall colors were not out in full force yet.  The girls really wanted to collect fall leaves for an art project so we stopped at a little park to let them fill bags with leaves.
