It seems like Halloween was all week for us! Andrew was so excited about wearing his dinosaur costume, I think he wore it everyday. He got to wear it to preschool on Thursday and his class did a parade around the church. Halloween night the kids actually trick or treated for about an hour! They had so much fun.:) Even Levi liked keeping his monkey hat on! The highlight of their night was definitely getting tootsie roll suckers at a few houses. My boys are all about the suckers! :)

p.s. Hopefully one of my next posts will be about the new baby!!!!! 15 more days to go!!! :)

Fall!

Fall is definitely my favorite time of year, especially in Spokane!:) We have been having a great time getting out and doing some fun family stuff before the new baby arrives. A few weekends ago we went to Greenbluff and picked apples, which the boys loved, especially Andrew. Last week we carved pumpkins with some good friends and had a great time visiting and eating warm fall foods! Here are some pics from our last few weeks, enjoy! :)

Levi at 18 months

18 months old

Weight: 26 pounds, 14 ounces (64%)

Height: 33 1/2 inches (83%)

I can't believe my baby boy is 18 months old! OR that I will have another baby boy here in 30ish days?! Crazy! Levi is still as sweet as can be, and we can't imagine our family without him. It is hard to believe how much he went through this summer (and how great he is doing just three months later!), and we are more thankful than ever for him and Andrew and our healthy family! :)

Andrew's first field trip

Andrew started preschool this year. He goes two mornings a week, and is loving it! I told him a few weeks ago (which was a mistake:) that his class was going to the pumpkin patch for a field trip. I should have just waited until the night before to tell him, because he has been asking everyday for three weeks if today is his field trip! Anyways, we had a great time. He picked out a "punkman" for him and levi, picked apples, went on a hayride, ran through a cornmaze, and had apple juice and homemade donuts for a snack!:)

p.s. don't mind his hat hair!! :)

Priest Lake

Two weekends ago we got to go up to Priest Lake with Amy, Jonathan and Clara. It was such a great weekend! Our two families went camping together last summer (a tradition we are going to keep going), but with Levi's surgery this summer, we weren't able to go. So, Amy's family let us all go stay up at their place on the lake for two nights. The boys loved playing in the sand, getting huckleberry ice cream, making smores, swimming in the water with Neal (no, I did not put my 8 month pregnant self in a bathing suit) and trying to make Clara laugh. Jonathan also took some GREAT pictures of the boys! (I am still a little surprised every time I see Levi in a picture. I forget how different he looks now!) Thanks for a great weekend guys! We love you! :)
