Halloween 2005
It's amazing what a difference 1 year can make. Here are a few pictures from Halloween last year. Mav has grown so much in one year! Last year I hand made his costume....ummm I didn't do that this year and wow, even my hair color has changed! I promise to post pictures of this year's Halloween soon.

If you click on the picture below it should show you a slideshow of pictures. Just something new I'm trying out.

Halloween 2005

Pumpkin Carving
Mav and I were going to carve 3 pumpkins for Halloween. However, it was more of a challenge than I had expected with a 2 year old! We only carved one pumpkin, but it was super cute.


















If you're interested. Here is the full slide show of our pumpkin carving experience!

Pumpkin Carving 2006

Yesterday we took Mav out to the farm. Cinda and Steve kept Maverick for us last night so that we could go to Rockin The Roundhouse (We had a great time. We took two of our neighbors and it was great to have some adult time out on the town). The minute we pulled into the farm Maverick started waving his arms and squealing with delight. He was so excited. He got out of the truck and ran around and around in the yard and then he ran around and around in Cinda's house. He didn't even cry when we left. Cinda took him to the park, they ate at McDonald's and they stayed up and watched movies until 10:00pm! Maverick was in heaven. Sunday morning Steve took him in the tractor and they took the truck and checked cows! When we got back to the farm on Sunday morning Maverick was happy to see us, but he definitely wasn't ready to go home. Mav and Bryce went to check out the tractors for awhile and then they took a little ride on the 4-wheeler (a very safe ride). Mav absolutely loved it. He was giggling and say Whhhoooaa! He absolutely had a ball.

Thank you Cinda and Steve!!

New Song Halloween Party.

Mav's Halloween party was today from 10:00 - 11:00. I got there at 10:00 on the nose and they had already had their snacks! I was so bummed that I didn't get to see them eat their witches hats and their spiders. Oh well, all of the kids looked so cute. I didn't get any pics of Mav because as soon as I got there he was attached to me at the hip. He thought I was coming to pick him up and go home.

This is Carson. He was a football player.



















This is Lindsay, she was a kitty kat.




















This is Abby. She was a Pirate!














The bigger kids paraded through all of the rooms and then the kids Maverick's age paraded through the halls. It really was fun and I was amazed at how many parents were at the parties. There wasn't an open space in the parking lot!

A few winter pics of the Mav Man!

Gettting ready for Mav's Halloween party.

Mav's halloween party is tomorrow and we're in charge of the cookies. So, we decided to make Witches Hats and Spiders. (We know spiders don't have red legs, but the red licorice is just so much better than the black)

New Trucks!

I know, I know, it's less than 2 months until Christmas and birthday, but we were itchin' for a new toy. So, we ran to Target and picked out a new truck! Actually it is a big truck that came with 4 little battery powered trucks on it. Mav is in heaven! (Dad too!)
