Happy Halloween!

The boys were pirates this year, except Grant, he wore the monkey suit Ethan wore 3 years ago at the same age. I was a witch (not much dressing up to do there). The boys dressed up for music makers on Wednesday, went to a pumpkin farm Thursday, went trick-or-treating to the nursing home Friday, then Saturday we took them on a train ride and went trunk-or-treating at the church.

One!

Grant turned One today! We always do their first sugar initiation when they turn one, he didn't care for the cake one bit, but had lots of fun finger painting! 

Chicago & Nauvoo

We had a wonderful time in Illinois. Anthony ran in the Chicago 10.10.10. marathon. It was almost exactly a year ago that we visited Chicago for the first time. Ethan's birthday was coming up so we celebrated all week long. We took the boys to Legoland, they had so much fun. 

After Chicago we went to Nauvoo. It's hard to believe the last time we came to Nauvoo was on our move East, eight years ago. This is a beautiful time of year to come, the weather was perfect and there weren't any crowds. The boys enjoyed the oxen and carriage ride and we all enjoyed the evening show. The Nauvoo temple is so beautiful, and the view is absolutely amazing. I took several pictures of the temple, feel free to download them for personal use.

       

    

Happy Birthday!

I can't believe my little boy is four years old! We love you Ethan! More to come from our trip...

Family pics

We had our family pictures taken this weekend (thanks Annmarie!!!).  The downtown area of Elizabethtown has all these fun old buildings with bright colors and I've been dying to get some pictures there. It was sad to realize this will be our last fall in Kentucky!
