Halloween 2013

Grandma and Papa Stanzel arrived earlier in the day on Halloween to spend some time with us. The boys were pretty tired by the time it was trick-or-treating time but they managed about an hour and had fun! They were a knight, a trojan, and Harper was our little ladybug!

Jordy is 3

Jordy is 3! My baby boy is no longer a baby. He is a talkative, imaginative, bright little guy who keeps us on our toys and is teaching his mommy in so so many ways ;) how to be a better mommy. We are so blessed to have him in our family! Jordy we love you!

Some things he is doing now:

*The pacifier fairy came and took all his night time pacifiers about 3 months ago
*Jordy is POTTY TRAINED! I feared it would never happen but it was so so easy because he was ready. BTW this all happened this week!
*He is such an imaginative boy who plays so well with toys
*His favorite food no doubt is cheese
*Favorite color is blue
*He LOVES all things music and LOVES to dance
*Has developed a few of his own friendships recently and his best friend (besides his brothers)is Eliot
*Favorite animal is a horse
*Can count to twenty
*He is having full on conversations with Daddy on the phone now. It is so fun to hear him tell him about his day. He is getting so big!
*He also challenges his parents to parent differently with him. He is strong willed, stubborn, and feisty at this age. God give me patience, understanding, and a loving demeanor with him over the course of this year ;)
*One of my most favorite things about Jordy is how he wraps his arms around your head to give you a kiss. He has a very sweet heart

Other Fall Happenings

Halloween cookies with my boys

LOVE this picture of my 3!

LCC Fall Festival

A few weeks ago, the church that Logan attends preschool at had their annual Fall Festival. Jeremy (who has been working most weekends lately due to the project he is on) was able to get away and go with us. The boys were so happy when they saw Daddy's truck meet us at the church. We had a great time at the festival with several of our "Preschool friends and their families."

My "Knights in Shining Armor!"

Riding the horses is always a hit especially when you are a "KNIGHT"

Pumpkin Patch

In Mid-October, we met our good friends, the Stalkers at the Pumpkin Patch and had a great time! Excuse the quality of pictures . . . Forgot my camera and had to use my phone.

Riding the train and all the other rides. They had a blast!

The best I could do ;/

This picture cracks me up!!! This is Jordy "TRYING" to smile. Apparently we are going through the phase of not knowing how to :)

Last attempt at a good pic of the 4 of them. Not too bad. I am just so thankful to have this family in our lives.

October Soccer

A few pics from one of Logan's games in the first half of October. He is having a lot of fun this season and is learning so much more about the game.

The cheerleaders, Jordy and Eliot. These two are inseperable!

Logan and one of his best buddies, Griffin

Harper and her best buddy, Lily-Grace

Nothing sweeter than big brothers and baby sisters

Harper is 3 Months Old

Harper is 3 Months Old already!! Time sure does fly when you're having fun! Some things she is doing now:

*Rolling all over the place as of this past weekend (front to back and back to front)

*LOVES to stand up while you are holding her

*Does not smile all that often but is getting a little better at it as of this past weekend. Very Happy though.

*Is sleeping one long stretch of 4-7 hours and then up every 2 hours after that

*Loves to snuggle

*Is a super sweet little lady and we all just adore her

Sushi!!!!!!!!

We LOVE sushi!! So after the HP guys' annual fishing trip we did our second annual sushi making class with some friends. It was AMAZING! All the sushi you could ask for as fresh as it comes.

A Little Halloween Prep

Our Fun Halloween Door Decor! The boys LOVED helping with this!
