Bryce's Bday

We had several kid's parties the day these pics were taken, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Outside of a few bites of pizza Miles pretty much only ate cake that day. This was for Bryce's 1st bday. Bryce is the little brother of one of Miles' friends from our street. Here are more pictures that I am a little behind in posting:

Sofia's Bday


So I haven't had a lot of time to post lately where I can really sit and go through the pictures I want to upload, so this post is a little belated. We went to John Chestnut park for the bday party of one of my mom's friend's granddaughter. She has a very large extended family and Miles had a great time socializing and enjoying a game of soccer with some of her relatives.

As odd as this looks, Miles really thinks he's Harry Potter riding his broomstick

Happy Election Day!

Pumpkin Fun


Chris forwarded this to our home email from his work. Have fun:

Trick Or Treat 2008

We all met over at Miles' friend's house for Trick or Treating. We had 2 pirates, a pink leopard, a frog, and a fire fighter. We planned on doing as many streets as the kids could hold up for, but we only made to about 3-4 before the mosquitoes came out to bite. The weather was perfect and the skies were clear.

We headed back to Andrew's house at the end of the night for pizza and drinks. Chris stayed out extra late to party it up with the big kids while Miles and I went home to snuggle and eventually fall asleep in Mommy's bed while the sugar rush wore off.

Miles did a great job this year and had a blast. He was the first to every house, even leaving his friends behind at times with one goal in mind, Candy! At the end of the night his other two friends ended up in the double stroller being rolled to the doors, and had it not been for the bugs, Miles would have run to many more houses. He was an absolute natural, not wanting to miss a single piece of candy and protesting loudly when we would empty his basket in to the bigger bag to keep it light for him......."Don't Touch the Candy!!"

This morning when Miles woke up, our first conversation went like this:
"Mama?"
"Yes, Miles?"
"I want my candy!"
Spoken like a true Trick or Treater.

Tyler, Miles, Emily, Bryce, and Andrew ready to go!

Whatcha got?


Miles and Hannah Montana


Even though he looks scary, moments before he took off his mask because the kids froze in his driveway. The second Miles saw it was just one of our neighbors, he was all about the candy.


Oooooo, a lollipop.....score!


We're done already?
