Happy Halloween!

Well it has been awhile since my last post. I guess I need to update it a little. I thought I would put some new pictures up. We have been doing a lot of Halloween things these last couple of weeks, and Ethan is getting sick of putting his Jack Sparrow costume on, and I am sure that Hannah feels the same. We went to a pumpkin festival at a park in our neighborhood, we had our ward trunk or treat last week that Dave and I went to for Ethan even though we both had the flu, but Ethan was so excited to go, we couldn't let him down, we went to Dave's Dental school Halloween Party(which by the way, Ethan kept saying "this party rocks!") because they hired a real DJ and they were playing loud music and he thought it was pretty cool, even Hannah got out and boogied. The kids were so exhausted by the end, infact Hannah zonked out in my arms, because she was so tired, all because Dave had to wait until the end to see if he had won the raffle. Ha Ha Ha yeah right! Then we had a little Halloween party with this little music class that I take the kids to every week with some people in our ward, and then Ethan has a Halloween party at preschool, and then we have a couple of things going on during the day on Halloween and then we are going to our old wards trunk or treat with some friends on Halloween. So we are definitely getting our fill of Halloween!

We went to a festival at a park, and the culinary school was there carving pumpkins, and this was one of them, they were pretty cool.

I know most of you have already seen this, but I put it up for those who haven't, it was our Halloween card this year.

Ethan and Hannah

I finally went and got the kids pictures taken together. I have been meaning to do it alot sooner, but have never found the time. I haven't had them taken since Hannah was two months. So I also had to get pictures of just Hannah. Ethan hasn't changed much since the last time I got his pictures taken so I didn't do his. I am slacking on Hannah, I had Ethan's pictures taken every two months or so until he was about a year or year and a half. But that is probably a little too much. It has been a few months since Hannah's last pictures. I think that they turned out pretty cute, I am happy with them. Hannah was a little unsure of the whole thing, so it was hard to get a smile, and Ethan is at the age where he has such a goofy smile where he squints his eyes and forces a smile. But oh well they turned out cute anyways. ENJOY!

Hannah Banana

Well since my last two posts have been about Ethan, I decided I better stick in a couple pictures of Hannah so she is not left out. She is growing up so fast. She now has 2 teeth, she does the army crawl all over the house, and gets into everything! Oh, and last night she was screaming so hard in her crib because she didn't want to go to bed, so after letting her cry for awhile I decided to go check on her, and thank goodness I did, she was hanging over the edge of her crib. If I didn't go in when I did, I think she might have fallen out. She hasn't tried to pull herself up on things much yet, so I was very surprised by this. I am so sad that she is getting so big, it seems like she was just born. She is so much fun, and such a great baby. She waves when you say "bye bye", and she has been pointing at things lately. I don't know if she means to point at things but she does it. It is pretty cute. We love her so much! She has brought so much joy to our lives in her short time that she has been with us! Who knew kids could be one of the best things in life!

She looks like a little girl with her hair like this

Look, I stole one of Ethan's transformers

Hannah had fun sitting in this box

Ethan playing Soccer!

I am so behind on updating this blog. I have been meaning to do it for the past few weeks, but just haven't got around to it. Since the last update, Ethan started soccer. He is not quite sure if he likes it though. He says that he doesn't like all the running. I think he is a little young to actually be playing soccer. Most of the kids don't really know what is going on. It is quite funny to watch them play. They are not aggressive, so if the ball rolls by then they will start to kick it towards whichever goal is closest. Whether it is theirs or not. His dad gets quite frustrated with him. I think he expects him to be a pro already. So here are some pictures of him playing and learning some moves.
