HALLOWEEN!

Mommy, Jacob and Hannah ready to head out for Trick-or-Treating.

Hannah LOVES wearing makeup. Today she had a great excuse and look absolutely beautiful! I don't think she'll be allowed to wear makeup until she's at least 18 years old.

Jacob was VERY excited to wear his dragon costume again and did a great job walking around to all of the houses in our neighborhood.

This was our beautiful sunset tonight. We had nice weather for Trick-or-Treating. Hannah had lots of fun handing out candy at the end of the night too.

Trick-or-Treating at State Farm

Today we got to go Trick-or-Treating at the State Farm Office Building. The kids had a great time showing off and got LOTS of candy!

Here is a picture of Jacob enjoying his loot and Brent trying to keep Hannah's hand down for the picture.

Brent had a fun time walking the kids around the office and showing them off to his co-workers.

Preschool Halloween

Making funny faces.

Jacob LOVES his dragon costume! He also loves to play with all of these fun big kids and was excited to be included in their pictures.

We are having a great time in preschool this year. I was very excited to have the kids come show off their cute costumes. From left to right we have a dragon (Jacob), a princess riding a unicorn (Hannah), Hannah Montana (Sammy), a moon fairy (Brielle), and SPIDER MAN (Andrew).

First REAL Snow of the Season

Here are some pictures of our first real snow of the season. This storm lasted for a few days and accumulated quickly. It was also very wet and heavy. This is about half of what we got total. Brent was excited to break in his new shovel though and Hannah and Jacob loved playing in it.

Pumpkins

Here are our Jack-O-Lanterns that we made for Halloween! Mommy's is on the left, Hannah's is in the middle, and Daddy's is on the right. Unfortunately Jacob's pumpkin was very solid and we couldn't even carve a hole out of the top, let alone carve a face in it. It worked out for him though because he got to just sit and color on his, which made him happier than he would've been cleaning it out.

This is the first year that Hannah was willing and excited to put her hand in the "gooey stuff." She did a great job getting all of the seeds out and just needed help with the strings.

Hot Air Balloons

This morning we woke up to hot air balloons hovering all around our house! They were so close that we actually had people waving at us from the balloons. We got to watch one land in the field next to us and take off again. The kids had a great time pointing out all of the different colors and patterns as well as how many there were. Apparently every October we will see them flying in this area. What a treat!

Hannah's 4th Birthday

Here are pictures from Hannah's birthday celebration. She wanted a princess cake and our great friend, Julia Morroni, provided a beautiful princess for us. We had our friends, the Jurich's over for dinner and cake & ice cream on Hannah's birthday. We also had a birthday celebration with Grandpa & Grandma Powell. Happy Birthday sweet Hannah! We love you!
