Dillon's Carnival Party

Little Dillon turned a big 4 years old! We had a carnival party to celebrate. Joe was in charge of putting up the decorations and he did a great job.

Dillon and his friends started off by decorating party hats while everyone arrived. Then the fun began. Picture 24 little kidders running all over - cccrazy :)

Silly Clown Dillon

Darling clown Sage in the photo booth.

A big Thank You! to my carnies. Lucky Shelli got to be our face painter. Monica was fortunate enough to spin kids around the whole time for pin the nose on the clown.

Sydni maned the Fish Pond.

Regan took on the impossible ring toss.

Jessi supervised the shooting gallery.

Daxton was in charge of the bean bag toss.

Joe and Kade made sure we were well supplied with popcorn.

Sam's Club made sure the cupcakes were perfect :).

Dillon got to blow-out his red cupcake.

His friends definitely took care of him.

And what is a party without a pinata.

Halloween

Adalyn and Isabel were very into the Halloween decorations this year. They kept trying to sneak up and play with them. They knew they were supposed to, this is me catching Adalyn red-handed.

What? I'm doin nothin!

I will bet you didn't think a saw was necessary to carve pumpkins. You were wrong - just ask Joe.

Joe's masterpiece.

Dillon didn't want to participate in the costume parade and the class picture on Halloween at preschool. So I found these two cuties and took a picture of them instead.

Dillon was Cat and the Hat and the babies were Thing 1 and Thing 2. We sprayed "turquoise" hair spray on their heads that went bright green, but they still looked the part.

The all loved trick-or-treating. The babies mostly loved to just play with the candy they got. Isabel would keep trying to grab for more at the doors we took her up to. They are big into suckers right now and so they kept getting excited when they were placed in their buckets.

Things I Missed

There were some big events in our family, this fall, that I failed to knowledge. One being that Isabel started walking the week after Labor Day. Adalyn started walking Mother's Day weekend, but Isabel held out on us for 4 months. It has seriously made life sooooo much easier now that she is walking. I can actually put them both down when I have to carry something and they can bee-bop behind. Love it!

I just had to throw this in because if things are too quite at my house and Adalyn is no where to be seen, this is were I find her. She loves to mess with the computer, pushing buttons, clicking on the mouse, turning it off and on. Errrrr

This is Dillon's first day of preschool. He is on his 2nd year and loves it. We laugh because Dillon will have gone to as much preschool as he will high school because of his fall birthday.

This is as non-goofy of a shot as we could get.

Dillon loves sitting on the tractors at Wheeler Farms

He was in luck because Papa came with us and knew every make and model of every tractor at the farm :).

Adalyn and Isabel love to swing. Dillon liked it okay at this age, but these two love, love it. Because they have to share everything, they have mastered the big-kid swing early.

The are also fearless when it comes to climbing up and down on the swing-set. Adalyn prefers the ladder, but Isabel prefers to climb up the slide.

I don't really try to keep my babies away from sugar, but we just don't seem to give it to them that often. This is Adalyn after I gave her a cookie. Seriously how hard is it to eat a cookie without making too big of a mess.

Pretty Hard!
