For the love of October!

October is always such a fantastic month... not just cause it's my birthday month (although it does seem that people with birthdays in October are especially fabulous).  I just love the weather changes... Fall is great.  This October was a long month because of lots of details we won't go into now.  However, we had some great moments!  Chris and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary!  I don't know where the time went.  Been an awesome 10 years.  Glad I had someone uniquely wonderful to share it with.  :)

Below are some pictures from Halloween:

 Chris carved this "Barbie and the Frog" pumpkin for Sarah.  She loved it.  In fact, it was quite a hit.  We had lots of trick-or-treaters stop to take pictures with the pumpkin.

 I carved this goofy thing with the tongue sticking out.

 James did a great job on his pumpkin!

 Sarah was Ariel this year and made sure we knew she HAD to have red hair and red lips.  Grandma Boyer brought over the red wig for her.  She left it on a majority of the night.

 James was a super creepy monster guy from Pirates of the Carribean.  My sister was a cowgirl.

 James and Sarah giving love!  Sarah showing off her whip cream mustache after some yummy hot chocolate.

We've had Brooke over a lot this month and it's been GREAT!  LOVE HER!!!!

Correction

In my last post, I said "less tantrums".  I take it back!!!

July updates

 What have we been up to this summer???  Swimming A LOT!  Below are some pictures from 4th of July.  We had some family over for food and fireworks.

 Sarah thinks fireworks are "too loud".  She covered her ears the whole time.

 Sarah loves the swimsuit Grandma Boyer got her... she has to do her ballerina twirling in it every time she wears it.

 James and Haleigh are best buds.  They get along very well.  The first picture below I told them to pose for a picture...

 Then I told James to do a more manly pose.  :)

This summer is flying by.... It will be time for school to start again soon.  Sarah is getting more fun by the day... She is having less tantrums, which I think is because she can talk so well now (or maybe because I am doing such a fabulous job)... really, I don't know the reason, but whatever it is, I am grateful.

New Camera

Testing out my new camera.  Liking it so far... however I really need a class to figure it all out.  This is like a foreign language.... the graph for color saturation, etc... I just don't get it.  I have started to play with color adjusting... which picture do you like better?
