Baby Steps

Jay meets Santa :)

The Halloween Party

Jay wasn't the only one to have fun...HA!
Chris & I went to Battle Creek to visit Carmen & Rob and to participate in a most fabulous Halloween shindig :)
We went as the king & queen of hearts...of which I COMPLETELY DID MYSELF. Freehand.

So let me take a moment to proclaim my status of the 'shiznit'

I think they look awesome :)

The creations...

The group, minus a few people...

Carmen the slutty pregnant Nun and Rob the disgruntled employee

Ah yes...the boyz

Kissy smoochy

The aftermath...

Ah Halloween...always fun because Jay just gets crazy about PUMPKINS...nothing else, just the pumpkins...he could care less about the candy. We had a great time, we trick or treated around our friend Jimmy's neighborhood and then we went to visit the doctor cuz they were having a little 'party' for the kids. I didn't think to take better pics, it was a busy evening :)

The Wubzy Pumpkin

See the wonder that is...WUBZY.
;)
We (by we I mean me of course...Jay didn't want to touch the 'guts') carved a pumpkin on Monday, we have a few others to do yet before Friday, but Wubzy just about killed me...too detailed, and I had a hand cramp from the great beyond once we (again me) were done ;)

Pumpkin Patch pictures

We had SO much fun on Saturday, it was a great family day :)
After church, we headed out to eat and then to the Country Mill in Charlotte...just a few miles out of Grand Ledge...and boy was it C-C-COLD.

But despite the ugly weather, the kids had a blast. Jay was just thrilled to be around pumpkins.

They fed some goats :)

Jay loved the little brown one, he had such a soft nose

We poked our heads thru some cut outs...I think mine was pretty awesome

My cutie

All three kids in the big pumpkin

Jay surrounded by pumpkins.

Jay and Hailee hanging out...it was starting to get a little sunnier at this point, but still COLD

Cutie pie again

Walking with our loot to the checkout counter

Jay and Hailee pushing the goods

Enjoying a donut and some apple cider

And of course...caramel apples. teehee

We tried to get a nice family shot, but Jay was kinda cranky

Chris refused to kiss me...said I had caramel on my nose

Getting a smooch sandwich from Nana & Papa

The awesome train!

Thanks for looking!

Jay & the speedbike

We went to visit our friends Carmen and Rob in Battle Creek this weekend, and had a blast :)
Jay loved playing with them and exploring the area...but by far his favourite thing was the ride he got on Uncle Rob's bike :)

I was a little aprehensive at first, but it was ok...I trust Rob and Jay had a blast!

Getting ready for Halloween

So when I asked Jay what he wanted to be for Halloween he told me 'a bat'.
I had no idea how I was gonna find a bat costume, but a friend told me that Old navy had a bat costume this year...what luck! I didn't want to make anything ;) Call me lazy

So Jay has his bat costume, and I must say he's just too freakign cute in it :)
I took a few pics of him messing around in his costume. He loves it...its fuzzy and warm, and luckily it'll just go over his normal clothes, its liek a bit fleece jacket :) So no covering up the cuteness with a big ol jacket.

He's sooo excited for Halloween, he keeps talking about costumes and pumpkins...We'll be going to visit a pumpkin patch this next weekend :)
