Noah's Birthday Party

Another birthday done. We had Noah's party a week early because my mom goes into the hospital next week. He was OK with the early party :o) Noah and his friends went mini black light golfing for his birthday, so we thought that this golf cake was perfect for the party. It's hard to see in the picture but Matt made a sweet apple tree!! Here is Noah opening his presents.

Here is Emma playing a game at the fun zone.

Here they are golfing. It was a ton of fun and they were all so good!
When we got back home the kids played video games before their parents came to get them. They were all such good kids and I have never had such a fun but calm birthday! It was great.

Noah saw this bike a few months ago and wanted it so bad. Matt went back to the store that day and picked it up. It has been at my moms house! Thanks mom for keeping the secret:o)

Here is Owen with his finished Turkey.

Libbie working hard on her turkey.

I've been trying to get all my Christmas crafts done before the snow starts to fall. Here are a few of the things I've been doing. Some I can't show because they are gifts:o)

Theses blocks cost less than $3.00 to make! Sweet.

Owens a big boy... and more halloween

My little boy is a big boy now. He is now officially potty trained. He even went to church today in his big boy underpants (with church clothes over top) and stayed dry. We did have to take him to the potty three times. I am so happy. He has been the longest to potty train. Now we have no kids in diapers! What am I going to do now. Maybe it's time for another one... or maybe we will just enjoy this for awhile.Here is Emma at her school Halloween party. The kids and I were at school all day with Noah and Emma having parties. It is going to be crazy next year with three of the kids in school.

Here is Emma after Trick or treating. The kids had fun looking at all their candy and trading what they did not want. We all slept downstairs that night and watched movies. It was the best Halloween ever.

The managers of our apartments are awesome and set up the club house with a fog machine and strobe lights. The kids had a ton of fun.

It took us about 5 minutes to talk the kids into going into this house to get some candy. In the end I think only Noah and Emma went in!

Here is Owen all dressed up. He is so cute!

Here are the kids walking up to grandma's house. They had so much fun!

Here is our dinner table all set to go.

Here is Libbie with her pumpkin sandwich.

The day after Halloween is always fun. We let the kids smash their own pumpkins. Some kids that live next door came over and told us we were the coolest parents ever, and Matt said that he would have to agree.
Owen tried and tried. In the end Matt had to help him.
Emma did a great job and needed no help from mom and dad this year.
