Happy Halloween!















We missed being at home for Halloween. Our we missed our little neighborhood friends. I think it would have made a difference for Zachary to see them all dressed up. He wouldn't wear his Pooh costume happily until he saw Josh wearing his Tigger costume. We all had a special Halloween dinner. Mommay and Dadddy had "Ghosts in the Graveyard" mashed potatoes and meatloaf with spinach "swamp" and "bone" biscuits. Zachary had a "jack-o-lantern" cheese burger and Joshua had "jack-o-lantern" carrots and oatmeal. There wasn't much going on in the condo area, so we went to the mall. Zachary did not want any part of trick-or-treating. Joshua just went with the flow and looked bored to tears. Zachary ended up having a wonderful time playing in the children's play area in the mall.

Pumpkin Carving















Zachary was very interested in the pumpkins this year. He had fun using the scoop to get the insides out, but wasn't quite sure if he liked touching the slimy insides with his hands. He had fun taking the lids lids off after they were carved. Joshua just watched everything with a sweet face, as usual.

Big Day!





We had a very big day today. We started off our morning watching a parachute drill on the base. Zachary loved it. He didn't take his eyes off them until they disappeared. Joshua just enjoyed the beautiful day. Joshua got big tonight. He rolled over from his back to his belly and I missed it. He was in his bed and when I came back to get him, he was on his belly, but he did it for us again. Later, I put him in his jumpy in the doorway. He figured out how to actually jump in it today and fell asleep in it tonight. HE'S BIG! It was all the jumping he has been watching Zachary do since birth.

Day to Day, Just Having Fun!





These are just some everyday pictures that we had fun with and thought others might enjoy our sweet babies. They are getting so big. Zachary really pays attention to Joshua now. He will play with him in his exersaucer and in the crib. He also loved posing for pictures with him. It is the only time you can get Zach to cooperate for pictures these days. I think they will be good buddies.

Back to the Beach






We went to the beach on the base to take some pictures of the boys playing in the sand. THe water was pretty cold, but they both loved the sand. Beautiful day!

Pumpkin Festival













We had a great time a a Pumpkin Festival in Bradenton, FL. Zachary got to ride a pony and loved it. He threw a little fit when he had to get off. We listened to some country (kids) music in a barn while Zach played a maraca. We went on a hay ride and watched a pumpkin being launched from a cannon. (That was cool.) Both boys played in a pumpkin patch. It was a fun day!

Josh -5 months old






Josh is 5 months old now. It is so hard to believe and he changes daily. He loves to squeal and spit. He loves his exer-saucer and jumpy. He has 2 teeth already and he loves his veggies. Green Beans are his favorites, so far, I think. His is a sweetie! (Zachary loves to get in the bed and play with him.)
