Playgroup Halloween Party

The Wamsley's hosted a costume party this week. Here's all the big kids except Luke. What are the chances Addy and Zoe picked the same costume!
And the little ones. Don't worry Quinn, Aaron will be joining you soon.
Two sweet boys in orange playing cars together. They weren't into dressing up.

Trick or Treating

For the first time ever, trick or treating fell on my birthday for our area. This worked out great since the grandma's were here celebrating. Addy enjoyed handing out candy as Ariel the mermaid princess.
Joyce graciously took her around the neighborhood.Jackson dressed up as Tiger but slept through all the festivities. He was very grumpy from grandma overload and he seems to have caught my awful head cold.

The Big 3-0

For my birthday, my mom came all the way from Cincinnati to surprise me. Yesterday she just showed up at our door with a cake, Josh didn't even know she was coming. She treated me to a pedicure and when we got home Josh's mom was here! She and Josh had planned a surprise date night for us. My mom ended up taking Josh and I out to dinner which was great. Then we had a fun sleepover with the grandma's.

This morning Joyce made a yummy breakfast treat and I celebrated by opening gifts with all my favorite family members.

New Purchases

Here's Addy in her new car seat. She reached the height limit of 40'' for her old one. I did some serious research and it was highly recommended to keep your child in a 5-point harness as long as possible. We ended up with the Graco Nautilus which I am very happy with and she can stay in until 65lbs. Then it turns into a booster for up to a 100lbs.
As much as we resisted, we finally broke down and bought a snow blower. After last winter and having a new baby we decided to go for it. THANK YOU Grandma & Grandpa Wilkerson as this was an early Christmas gift to our entire family.

Sleeping Beauty

I'm so thankful Addy still naps most days, even if it's not in her bed. It's so sweet that she never lets go of her 'Lamby'.




My baby can talk now. I've been trying to capture some of it but haven't had much luck. More to come...

We LOVE the bookmobile!

Every other Wednesday we have a wonderful visitor to the neighborhood. It's the library on wheels aka. the bookmobile. We stock up on books, DVDs, and even Josh reserves items on-line. It's a great way to meet neighbors. And lucky for us, it parks right in front of our house for 30 minutes of fun.

Weekend Events

This weekend Josh and I went to the Wisconsin Badgers game. We got free tickets from his work. The kids stayed in Beloit with Grandma Neubauer. Thanks Joyce!
The kids have been enjoying the fall, especially the piles of leaves.
They also love playing dressup in preparation for Halloween.

Avi & Anderson's 2nd Birthday

This weekend we celebrated the twins turning 2 years old. The party was held at the Round Lake Children's Museum. We had so much fun!

Here's Jackson working out just like his daddy.

The dancing queen. Addy loved playing with her girlfriends.

Jackson's favorite part was all the riding toys and street to drive on.

Everyone has been asking so here you go. This picture was taken a week ago.

Addy finally lets me put her hair up and it looks so cute.

Thanks Jasper for the really nice pictures. My camera could never compete.
