Smiles and kisses

Lathen has grown so much. He is now 4 months old and is rolling all over. He smiles whenever he sees my face and cries when I walk out of the room. He usually is a pretty happy fellow until he is hungry or wants to be picked up. He has started sticking his tongue out, blowing raspberries, and eating his toes. He loves sitting in his Bumbo especially if Lucy sits with him and entertains him!

Silly smile

Lucy was being a mess and kissing "pretty,pretty Lulu" in the mirror
She then decided Lathen needed kisses too. He loves her attention!

 

SPOOKY, SPOOKY!!!

I know I'm a bit late with a Halloween post, but I have a good excuse! ;) It's called life! Hehe! Well this week life has given me a wake up call and told me to slow down. My oldest, Cooper, came down with strep and the flu at the same time. Crazy! So we have been home bound for 5 days now. I have been cleaning and sanitizing like a crazy women in hopes of keeping the baby from getting it. We shall see if all my efforts pay off. But for now I am taking a break from the madness of decontaminating the house and having a little fun posting photos to my blog!

On Halloween Eve we invited over the Britt cousins to battle off with pumpkin carving! Of course we waited till the last minute to get any pumpkins and only the odd shaped pumpkins were left.
Team Blaine with Older kids Coop and Emily directing him.
Team Ben with younger kids Ava and Carter telling him how to cut it.
Finished pumpkins! We decided they were equally spooky and both teams won! Yea!
Crazy kiddos! I tried multiple times to get a normal picture. This was the best one!!!!! Lol :)
Dressed up on Halloween for school. Super Carter and Dracula Cooper. They just picked random costumes from years past since I still had not finished their costumes at this point. Nothing like waiting till the last minute right?!
Halloween 2013!
I finished their costumes in the nick of time! They were Jedi from Star Wars! Carter had a bad night that night so sadly this is the only picture I got of him. He jumped off the couch with a pen in his mouth and jabbed it down his throat! He cried and was upset most of the night.

Lucy had a blast though!!! She did not like the Spookies, but loved all the treats! She was the cutest Minnie Mouse ever! I Loved having a girl to dress up for Halloween this year! She let me put makeup on her and was loving doing the girly thing!

Little man was a pumpkin, thanks to the thrift shop where I found his outfit for a $1.00 at the last minute! :) He was a cutie though!
Since we live far from most houses we just did trunk or treat at our church. It stormed that night so it turned into an indoor acticity, but the kids had fun (except Carter, who was upset all night). Jedi Cooper with zombie bride cousin Emily.
Lucy had a blast getting candy!
Jedi Cooper getting in on the candy action.
Proof that Blaine and I were there! Don't you think Blaine's daddy costume turned out awesome! LOL :) Joking!
