A Happy Halloween

When my brother saw what the little loves were for Halloween he said, "They are not even dressed up...Micah is Spiderman everyday and Jadey Bug is always our little Lady Bug." That is actually how she got that name.
We carved our annual Mickey Mouse Pumpkin at Mitchy's work party. Jade was wanting to take her whole costume off, so we are lucky it was only strapless. She was kind of a scandalous lady bug.




Then on the night before Halloween, we went to my parents house and carved pumpkins with Ryan and Britt. It was so fun. We attempted a Spider pumpkin, it was a group effort and turned out alright.



Yes, this is Micah's second time being Spiderman, not in a row though. Every other year he gets to be Spiderman, that is our compromise. He was Peter Pan last year and Jade was TinkerBell.

Jadey love sitting in this chair when she goes to Gigi's house...why? Food!







Now, these pictures were actually taken on Halloween night. We first went over to our good friends and neighbors, the Erickson's, for a fun and festive Dinner. And then the Grandparents and Melis and Jackson came over to our house to trick-or-treat. We had a blast.
She was kind of a little Russian Lady Bug while she was wearing her antennas. But I was dying, cutest little lady bug I've ever seen! I want her to wear it every day!





I could not stop give this little bug hugs and kisses, especially in her little leather jacket!

Micah was loving it, running from door to door. At one point he just skipped the knocking thing and just opened someone's door...and got in trouble...opps. He won't be doing that again!


Our Jadey Bug flying through the air!

Jackson came over to trick-or-treat with us. Micah and Jackson have so much fun together...so trick-or-treating was even more fun with Jack!


Here are our pumpkins...unfortunately I forgot to buy candles for them and so they were never lit up like true jack-o-lanterns.



Sorry, my camera is weird at night. But I still thought it was cute.
Melis and Jackson dressed up together as Race Car and Race Car Driver, they looked so cute but I never got a great shot because the kids were running wild and just couldn't sit still long enough to get a real picture. But trust me, they were adorable.

This was as close as we got, it lasted like .3 seconds.

Our Spiderman was not happy about the little Lady Bug taking his car.










Even Jade was running from door to door, she was so enthusiastic. We had a really fun Halloween and Micah is wondering why we are not going to another Halloween party today, since we have had one every day of this past week.

My Sister's Wedding, Revisited...

Here are a few more pictures from my sister's wedding that I just recently got my hands on and I adore them. It was a magical day and Elise, my sister-in-law and photographer captured each moment beautifully! Of course two of my favorite shots of the day are these first two of my Sweet Jade and my precious Micah! I am so lucky to be their mom.
You can tell that Micah was a little sweaty from running around like a wild man!


I just really love the rest of these, it just tells the story of the day.





Drew did a beautiful job, I could listen to him all day long.

And Mattie was brilliant, and Micah was mesmerized.
