My Precious Boy

 Two weeks ago, Kellen had a Halloween playdate with two of his good friends - Liam and John.  We had lots of fun hanging out at John's house - and the kids had lots of fun in their costumes!

 On Halloween day, Kellen's school at a Halloween Parade.  I didn't tell Kellen that we were coming to see him in the parade (just in case Sarah couldn't make it without a nap).  Here is his class coming down the sidewalk....

 ...and if you look down the line (not at his friend, Malcom- who is also dressed like the Green Lantern!), you will see Kellen - the pure excitement and absolute joy and happiness he showed when he saw us, just melted my heart.  He was just so happy to see us.

 He was so proud....look at that beautiful smile.

 Looking at Sharlene.

 He kept looking back at us, and smiling and waving.  I am so so happy that we went to see him.  The look on his face was worth every minute - I seriously almost started crying with happiness (silly, sappy mommy!)

Halloween Time!

 This past Halloween was a cold, and rainy, one!  But, the weather didn't dampen Kellen's excitement for going out trick-or-treating!  Here he is super, super excited to be going out to collect candies!  He was dressed as the Green Lantern!  

Kellen and Sarah (dressed as a little pumpkin) hanging out with Daddy - had lots of fun dressing up for Halloween together.

 ....and hanging out with mommy.

 Sarah looking super cute sitting with the pumpkins.

 I love this picture!  They are so darn adorable together!

 Happy Halloween!

 One excited little boy ready to get going!

 My babies.

 Peek-a-boo!  I see a baby pumpkin!

 Ta-da!

 Prior to Halloween, Kellen got into the spirit by helping Daddy with the pumpkins.  He was trying to draw a face on the pumpkins (but the ink kept smearing)!

 I love these next pictures - Sarah was so excited to play with Kellen - she would squeal whenever he came close by.

 Going for the eyes....

 ....and the head....Sarah is a baby bully:)

 Sarah looks so small in comparison to her pumpkin - what a cutie:)

 Daddy hard at work carving our pumpkins.

Focus on your Feeding, Baby Girl!

 Sarah is all about playing while I try to feed her.  She will move around throughout her meal - so she ends up with food all over her!  Then, she will smear it all over her face and hair!  What a cutie!

I love this picture of her!

 Notice how her hair is standing up all by itself now!

 Trying to figure out how to get her head under the strap.

Thanksgiving 2012

 Well, this month, we celebrated another beautiful Thanksgiving with the family.  We were blessed to have Abuelito here for Sarah's first Thanksgiving - and everyone came to celebrate together.  It was a difficult day to get through - this was our last family holiday with Grandpa - we took that beautiful family portrait last year.  He was in my thoughts the entire day, and he was so greatly missed.  I only hope that he was looking down and was happy that we celebrated this special day just like he would have wanted us to.

Above is our latest family portrait.  What a good looking bunch!  And below are some amazing pictures of my beautiful boy.

 Thanks, Uncle Garrett for this great family shot!

 Mommy, Daddy, and baby Sarah.

 Daddy having some fun with Sarah.

 What a blessing - here I am with 3 out of my 4 grandparents.  And Sarah - with 3 great- grandparents.  Four generations gathered for Thanksgiving - how many people can say this?

 Another great shot!

 I love these pictures!  Great Nana having some quiet cuddles with her newest great granddaughter.

 Great Nana and Great Pampa with Sarah.

 Abuelito with baby Sarah - I think he was pretty smitten with her!

 Lita planted the memorial plaque of Grandpa in the garden - Nana and Pampa had a quiet moment with Shawn looking at it, and just taking a moment to talk about how much we all miss Grandpa.

 Daddy and Sarah - still hanging out.

 Parker was doing something that was really amusing Tia Levi - he is such a cutie!

 Hi, Nana!

 Abuelito talking to Kennedy and Mackensie.

 Sarah pressed the button and took this picture all by herself!

 Tia Levi was having lots of fun getting Sarah to laugh.

 Sarah - right after her nap - and looking a little loopy:)

 Lauren was having a blast hanging out with Lita and Abuelito - he was making her laugh by playing a little game on her hand - what a cutie!!!

 Lauren was really into making silly faces - here is an example of her silly faces with Lita!

 Lunch time!

 ...another example of Lauren's silly faces:)

 ...and grouchy faces by Kellen - and I am not sure what Parker was doing!

 ...another delicious meal!

 Lita and Sarah before bed - what a great picture of them!

 The day before, Lita took Kellen and Sarah to the park.  Here they are playing together....Sarah is always so intrigued by everything that Kellen does!

 I love this picture!  Lita and her grandbabies!

 Another great picture!
