Ezra's Dedication

The day Ezra was getting dedicated at church I walked into Solomon and Ezra's room to find Solomon putting ribbons and bows all over Ezra. He said, "Mommy, look. I'm decorating Ezra for church." I laughed and had to explain that she was getting dedicated not decorated.

Fall Steel

Simon is addicted to fishing. He gets out on the water as often as he can. Sometimes he gets lucky. This year he caught 32 steelhead. If he's not fishing he's watching spey casting videos on youtube. It's definitely one of his passions and he's become really good at it.

Trick or Treat

Solomon and Ezra went Trick or Treating with Gabby and Gage. Afterward we went to Nana's to play games and pass out candy. Solomon liked passing out candy more than getting candy. He would try beating people as he opened the door to say, "Trick or Treat."

Ezra's Six Month Pictures

I feel so guilty because I think I took pictures of Solomon almost every month as a baby. This is only her second photo session ever. I guess it is true what they say about not documenting as much for the second child as you did for the first. We drove out to Tom's to take Ezra's pictures and she cried the entire time. These are a few pictures in between the tears. I was going to edit the drool from here face but decided that really captured what she was like as a baby.

Funky Monkey & Chunky Monkey

I found Solomon's monkey costume at a garage sale this summer for one dollar. He loved it and asked to wear it for Halloween. I thought, what could be better than a one dollar Halloween costume. I then found a matching monkey costume for Ezra. By the time Halloween rolled around Ezra could barely fit into her costume. Her chubby cheeks wouldn't allow the head piece to velcro. I called her my "Chunky Monkey!" Solomon would wear his costume around the house dancing to music. That's where "Funky Monkey" came into play. I love my two little monkey's. They are definitely my trick or TREAT!

Pumpkin Patch

There were many trips to the pumpkin patch this year. On this particular fall day, we celebrated Wesley's 1st birthday party. Solomon was more interested in the cows, tractors, dogs and sticks than picking a pumpkin. Ezra was having fun watching her family and trying to stand near the pumpkins. Uncle Hawk and Aunt Katie were married at the Northern Lights Farms where we were. It was the perfect place to enjoy pumpkin hunting. They had tractor pulled hay rides, a hay fort, pumpkin catapulting and so much more. We can't wait to return next year.

First Family Photo Session

Simon did a great job at this photo shoot. I was more worried about him than the two month baby or the two year old. Thank you Aunt Katie!!!
