October

Here are some of our recent pics with Muy and Loco. It's been muy loco around here lately. We have been preparing for our big Halloween Open House this Saturday night. Colson and I have done some fun Halloween crafts and decorated the house with them. Ashlyn, Colson and Steve have worked hard carving the "pum-peens"...as Ashlyn says!

The goal was to get through all the party prep this week - I was hoping to get most of it out of the way while the kids were at school. But, Ashlyn got her second sinus infection (in the past month or so) and Colson had a bit of a cold. Colson headed back to school today, while Ashlyn headed back to the doctor's office! I noticed red dots on her and didn't want to take any chances after the penicillin hives. It turns out she had roseola on top of the sinus infection. Ah, new at school with all the little kid germs! Happily, once the rash from the roseola shows up, the worst is done. So, no more 104.3 degree fever like she woke up with on Monday morning! Thank goodness!



Colson the ham, in a pose

This is what the sinus infection/roseola did to her. She fell asleep in the chair while they were watching their new favorite show, "Super Why"


A girl and her Jiggy. SERIOUS breakdowns this week when Ashlyn didn't feel good and Jiggy was not immediately available. Little doesn't care about work schedules!

We're trying to not be too concerned with the glowing eyes! I'm thinking about having Steve photoshop Ryza in to this one. Shut up.



2008 holiday photo card preview! Jiggy got Colson and Ashlyn holiday outfits months ago. I decided to play dress-up with Ashlyn to see if the dress was fitting now. It goes with white bloomers underneath - not the Elmo pajama bottoms she has on here. And, we'll take the tag off by holiday time!




I will not smile for your picture!


Cute baby!


Trying to get her Daddy to flip her


Super lady-like!


Still playing!


This is what she was hoping for!


Seriously will have to put this dress with some hair bows that match. And, ditch the "dink-day" from the mouth!


Always wanting to play together!

Darling - even when she's trying to pout

Ever the ham!
