Spidey Kaden and Tinker Bella



Kaden wanted his face painted so he didn't have to wear his mask trick or treating..so here is my best attempt at a Spidey face.

Ready to carve their pumpkin

We waited for Aaron to get home to carve our pumpkin
(he had been gone all week on a business trip)

Kaden pulling out the pumpkin guts...of course Tanner wanted nothing to do with it..he hates to be messy!

Mommy and Tanner hanging out watching the boys carve the pumpkin.

Tanner and our finished pumpkin.

We went back to our old neighborhood to hang out with our friends Jeff and Judi and let the kids trick or treat with some of their friends.

Trick or Treating

Fall Party with the Kindergartners

Yesterday I had my first official "room mom" experience. I helped out at Kaden's class fall party. We painted pumpkins, decorated cupcakes, decorated treat buckets and made candy corn bags. It was a lot of fun to finally meet all the kids that Kaden always comes home talking about. I give so much credit to all the teachers out there...I really don't know how they do it. 19 kindergartners at once...oh man...let's just say after a couple hours, I was exhausted.

Tanner was so excited to go to the party but he feel asleep on the way there..I thought he would wake up as soon as we went into the classroom, but he didn't so he spent most of the party sleeping on the floor!

Trunk or Treat

My cute friend Tabitha invited us to a Halloween Trunk or Treat. The boys had a blast playing carnival games, playing with friends and getting lots of candy!

My costume-less, fit throwing, if I even hear the word "costume" 2 year old! Aww..but look at that oh so sweet smile! :)

Spidey Kaden

My friend Tab with her Addison and again, my fit throwing child. (This one was a 'oh no, somebody other than my Mom is touching me" fit)

Tanner, checking out the goods in the candy bag!

"Open it, Mommy?"

A happy boy with lots of candy!

Visit with Grandma & Grandpa Snyder

Aaron's parent's came out for a long weekend earlier this month. We went to St. Augustine for the day, had a little Halloween party for the kids and they even took the boys overnight so Aaron and I could have a date night. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa..we enjoyed our visit with you and hope you come back soon!

Painting pumpkins

Somebody..Please Help!

This is what Tanner does every time we try to put a Halloween costume on him. He freaks out..not just a little whine, but a full on tantrum! We have a dragon, tiger, caterpillar and a pirate costume and he won't wear any of them. I even went out and bought him a Batman costume because he loves wearing Kaden's play Spiderman costume that is way to big for him and is all stained and holy..but nope..not even Batman. Of course every store is sold out of size 2T Spiderman costumes..even online! Looks like Tanner will not be dressing up for Halloween this year!

And then there is Kaden...who absolutely LOVES costumes! He has tried on every single costume we have..including this one..it was Tanner's costume 2 years ago..yep, size 3-6 Months!

Say Cheese

This is the kind of stuff we do when we get bored at home when Kaden is at school and Daddy is at work...

My attempt to use the self timer on the camera...

Finally a good one...

Save The Date

My sister Jen and her soon to be hubby, Dan!

Congratulations..we are so excited for the big day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!


Happy 6th Birthday to our sweet boy! We can't believe you are six years old already!

We love you so much and hope you enjoy your day!

In Memory Of

I just returned home from a short, unexpected and sad trip to Reno to say goodbye to my dear Uncle Chris. The day Aaron and I arrived in St. Louis, I received news of his passing. He was a big man with an even bigger heart and a laugh that I will never forget. He was so loving and kind to everybody he met and he will be missed a lot! My heart goes out to my sweet Auntie K and my cousins, Juston, Todd, Makenna and Makenna's little girl, Mikayla who loved her PaPa very much!

We love you all!

We will never forget you and you will missed dearly!

We love you!
