Hanging out too much with his sister!

The crown.....that HE put on....

My heel shoes....that HE put on...

Pushing the stroller around wearing my shoes still.

The scarves. lip gloss, make-up....poor boy is surrounded by girl!!! Needless to say we got him A LOT of boy toys for Christmas!

New bikes!

This past summer all of our bikes and bike trailer got stolen from our carport. We were really really sad...as this was a fun family activity we enjoy doing together. Well we ended up putting a claim in for them because of the total expense being something that was quite big for us ....and we got a great return!! I love Allstate! Troy and I were able to get awesome road bikes, a trailer, and a trail a bike for Lucy. When Troy totalled his car back in October, this ended up being the main source of transportation for him and the kids for a month! Here were Troy and Lucy going for their first ride using his bike and her trail a bike.
Love this picture! ( below )



Funny story to remember: One time when they were riding, they had been riding for quite some time ( 15 miles to be exact ) and Lucy told Troy she was falling asleep! That is how much effort she puts in!!! pah ha ha!!

Family Pics

Halloween 2011

Trick or treating at our church's Trunk or Treat the night before Halloween.

Carving pumpkins !!!!

We have to liven the pics up a little don't we?

She did a good job cutting out the design by herself!!! And LOOK at those sparkly pink nails!!!

This little cutie had fun watching us and playing with his dump truck!

The finished product! All drawn and cut by Lucy!!

On Halloween itself, we went to our friend Tricia's house in Ladera Ranch and they had a little community party going on before it got dark. They had a pinata.....

Where they got a HUGE bag full of candy each...

A jumper....

That had an awesome slide on one end.....

We then went into Tricia's house and had pizza to start the night out right!

Stetson had a ton of fun playing with Tyler's toys.

Tricia's boys dressed up for Halloween...Hunter and Porter.

Here is little Yoda their younger brother who is a week older than Stetson. ( Tyler )

Trick or treating was super fun!!! Although I am sad because a lot of people put their basket of candy out...and don't open the door. Lucy and Stetson love it because they grabbed tons of candy, but it's more fun to get people to open their door. Stetson had a blast trick or treating. I was worried, but as soon as someone opened their door, he let himself in and grabbed handfuls of candy! That boy!

There he goes following his sister. We were out way past bedtime and he never tuckered out! He RAN from house to house.

Devouring a basket somebody left outside to choose "one". If kids only knew the meaning of one!

We had a ton of fun! Halloween is becoming one of my favorite holidays!

ALS Walk October 2011

We have been doing this walk since my grandpa found out in 2004 that he had ALS ( Lou Gehrig's disease) This year it was Dorothy's family and my Uncle's family and us. We had a great time. We then went over to my Uncle's house for lunch and to hang out. The kids had a blast! Here we are right after the walk.

Here Lucy is caught "mid-dance" This girl has some rhythm!

Nicky showing Lucy how to ride a scooter.

Stetson wanted his turn too!

Boys sure are different!

I cannot believe how different boys are!! Stetson is a crazy man!!! Into everything and running everywhere. He sure is cute though!

He likes to sift through the trash to see if we threw anything good away :)

His favorite food? Chips! He will try to open bags with his teeth, and then plop down wherever to munch!

He also thinks he is pretty good on the laptop!

And if we don't watch him close enough, he will make a break to climb onto the kitchen table, the couches, the counters, you name it!

Love that boy!!!

Hanging out!

Stetson discovered spaghetti!!!!

Chilling with our firering!
