Halloween

Yes, I know it's April and Halloween was 6 months ago, but I've promised updates so I'm giving them. Of course, this was Anthony's first Halloween. He actually wore two costumes. NaeNae found a really cute frog costume for him and it was really chilly on Halloween morning, when the boys had their fall festival at school. So, that warm, fuzzy frog costume that was a lot like a pair of pj's came in handy! And it was A LOT warmer than the red M&M Anthony had to wear out of tradition. Ninny and NaeNae made the M&M and Trent, John-William, Jackson and Michael all wore it for their 1st Halloween. The tradition had to continue!!!

Halloween was on a Friday, so of course Adam had a ball game to broadcast. Fortunately, it was a home game and he was able to take a quick break from the stadium to come home and go down our street for trick-or-treating with the boys.

I took photos of the big boys before school that morning, knowing that their costumes might not make it through the day. It's a good thing, too, since John-William got his dirty helping outside for the fall festival.

John-William was the late Dale Earnhardt, Sr.

Jackson had to be a football player, of course. I blacked out the name on the hat and on his costume. Don't want any of you crazy stalkers out there knowing where we live. LOL He couldn't put on his shoulder pads before getting in the car that morning, so he's just wearing his pants and shirt here. He added the shoulder pads, jersey and helmet when he got to school.

Michael was Spiderman.

And here's Anthony as the frog and red M&M.

All the boys together at Ninny's that night after trick-or-treating. We also went to the football game in costume, so that was fun and cute.

How can you not love this face????

Is this Adam, or what?

A small update

I haven't been around much lately with updates, so I thought I'd post a few pics to show that we are still alive. LOL I didn't call this a "quick" update because it's never quick when I'm choosing and uploading photos. It takes a while so that's why I don't get to it very often.


Three of the boys have had birthdays since my last "real" update. So, here's pics of their birthdays.


First, though, here's a photo of Jackson (he's #8) on the football sidelines. Isn't he cute?




John-William had his first sleepover for his birthday party. We had a few boys here that night! In this pic, they were all visiting our neighbors' goats who were, by the way, the only girls at the party. LOL Besides Ninny and me, of course.



The boys slept in the playroom that night. We had lots of boys, quilts, blankets, and electronic devices (PSPs, ipods, gameboys, etc.).





















Anthony's first birthday party was just a small family (and a couple of close friends) get-together. He loves balloons!!!






































Jackson also had a sleepover for his birthday party. I was a bad mommy, though, and forgot to take pictures of all the boys in the playrrom. I got some of his cake, though.


Isn't this a sweet birthday boy???

Happy Birthday, Ad!!

Today is Adam's birthday and he's not been feeling well. Jackson was sick on his birthday and now Adam is sick on his birthday. I hope this is not a sign of things to come!

I know I haven't updated much lately but I promise I'm going to work on it soon!
