The costumes

The cutest dinosaur ever :)

Noah really was excited to go trick or treating, he just couldn't see. Apparently the one ray of sunshine from today was in his eyes. Kirsten practiced her "scary glare" to perfect her "Bad Fairy" costume.

Pumpking Patch Field trip

Wow what a rainy day it was for Noah's class field trip today. We went out to Sweet Oregon Berry Farm (@ the corner of Hwy 18 & Hwy 99). It was pouring when we got there. i couldn't even take pictures because my camera was getting soaked. Poor Wyatt wasn't feeling well, but I took him anyway. Word has it that I'm up for the "Mom of the Year" award for taking my sick toddler to the pumpkin patch in the rain. :)


Noah stops running around like a wild man long enough for me to take a picture.

Wyatt points out a goat for me.

Jumping off the rope swing into a pile of wet foam squares. Ahhh.....good times!

Pumpkin Carving

Noah thought the guts of the pumpkin were a little gross. He's right, I can't stand touching that stuff! Yuck!

Wyatt's new friend

Wyatt got to visit the Build a Bear workshop last weekend. Auntie Carole spoiled him with a new puppy that he picked out all by himself. Wyatt watched the lady fill him up with stuffing, gave him a "bath" and picked out a Batman t-shirt for him. Then we got to make a birth certificate for him, so he chose the name (with sissy's help) "Batman Puppy Kepler"

Please excuse the messy table in the background. That's just normal life around here :)

Check out Wyatt's new phone!

Bet you don't have a phone as cool as Wyatt's! He had quite the discussion with someone, we're not sure who, then he got tired of talking and decided to eat his phone. So funny!

Another masterpiece from Wyatt

This week at Daycare was "D" week, as well as Fire Safety week. Wyatt was so proud of his "D" picture, he just loves making projects at his "school". Plus, he loves the color orange, so making this was extra fun.

He also got to learn about firemen and fire safety. He is having so much fun there, and I couldn't be happier!

1 kid, 2 kids, 3!!!

Wyatt and Noah and Kirsten enjoyed some outside time the other day, it was just a beautiful afternoon and they played until it was almost dark! Gotta soak up the last rays of sunshine while we can!

Noah's sleeping peacefully.....

and my dog looks dead....lol! seriously, this picture cracks me up. Noah spent one night last week sleeping on the couch with his buddy Van. Van is comatose when he sleeps and Noah is just plain cute :)

A birthday is not complete without CAKE!

I forgot to add that Kirsten made me this yummy cake for my birthday, and Daddy decorated it with yummy chocolate frosting and cute candles.

Happy Birthday to Me!!!

So I have been wanting a Wii fit since before they came out....and I got one for my birthday! YAY! Troy was able to find one and he and the kids surprised me with it for my b-day. I also got a beautfiul necklace that has this quote inscripted on it: "A Mother holds her child's hand for a short while and their heart forever". So true....I have to remember that more often :)
