1. I turned 29. Yay. Jeremy gave me by far the most awesome birthday card ever. Aaaaand he stayed home from work so I could go shopping all day...it was so much fun!
2. JJ had his 6 month check up. 24.7lbs 28inches, healthy, strong and cute as a button!
3. I started a baby class with JJ though the local community college- it's a class I took with the girls too, just a fun way to have some one on one time with the little man.
4. Eva's Jog-a-Thon! Elle ran 2 laps with Eva and would have done more but I made her stop, she had crocs on for crying out loud! Eva did 8 laps this year...she could have done more but I kept having her take water breaks...rookie mistake, she did 10 laps last year when daddy was coaching her, oops. She wanted to do 12 laps and was a little disappointed that she didn't but she still had a lot of fun and I'm so proud of how athletic she is and strives to be healthy.
4. Pumpkin patch family trip.
5. Carving of said pumpkins
6. Tried out some new crock pot recipes via pinterest, they were all so good and a few will become some new staples.
Onto the pictures!
Baked Potato Soup- it was so easy!
Bacon, Chicken, Ranch Mac
JJ got a new toy!
Our Three Little Piggies
JJ hanging out in the corn box.
I was experimenting with sun flare after I read a little tutorial on it, what do you think?
I tried to get Jeremy to take a picture of me with the same effect.
Eva getting ready for her jog-a-thon.
And they're off!
Eva's new 2nd grade teacher is the one directly behind her and her new
principal is there cheering and running along.
He's actually one of our family friends, a great family that we love to be around
and have known the longest since moving back to Corvallis,
he's known Eva since she was 4 months old! It's fun to have
a familiar face at school with a principal that we really know!
Aren't they the cutest?! They were holding hands for part of their run together!
Done! Phew!
I got the girls these cute headbands with ears!
And then I got Elle a top that coordinated and Eva the leggings that coordinated.
Aren't they so cute?!
It's carving time!
We didn't carve pumpkins last year and I felt sort of guilty
(even though the kids never noticed)
So I wanted to make sure we let them carve to their hearts content this year.
We only had two casualties...both were cuts, both were Elle.
We had JJ try on one of my Halloween wigs!
The best family picture of the night.
Jeremy and I went to an adults only Halloween party the other night.
Anyone know who we are?
And finally JJ in some new jammies courtesy of grandma and grandpa Bonham.
Next up Halloween, wish me good luck!
Farewell October, it was exciting and very fast!
Here's to a lingering November.
