Halloween 2008!

Mason is now old enough to go trick-or-treating! This year he dressed in the costume Grammy Gerhart got for him- a little Penguin. Everyone said he looked soooo cute. He definitely had a lot of fun!

Ready to go

Kamryn came too-all bundled up

We pulled them around in Grandpa's wagon

He mostly walked by himself

Helping himself- watch out for that hand!

Not scared of the ghouls and goblins along the way

Then the firetruck came to the neighborhood

The firemen gave Mason a glowstick

All done- checking out his "loot"- I think we'll be eating most of it!

Tired out!

This is what he wanted to wear to bed- no more dress up Mason!

MONSTER BASH '08

This year we attended the Monster Bash costume party and as you can see our family went as Popeye (Mason), Olive Oyl (Sue, duh), Bluto (Dave), and Lil' Swee' Pea (Kamryn of course!)
Holding his spinach

Swee'Pea is really Bluto and Olive's love child

Mason dancing the night away w/ the other kids

Look it's the Magician, his assistant, and the magic Bunny!


Happy Halloween!

Fall Fun!

We decided to purchase a playset for the kids. We figured if we got it this year (and such a good end-of-season deal) and built it it would be ready next year when Mason's a little bit bigger. We've had nice weather to build it and when it was finished, Mason was able to play on it!

So, the thing took 3 weeks to put together. Approx 8 hours each day Dave and Jim were able to work on it between their schedules. It is extremely big and a complicated process.

Half way there!

The finished product. We're happy with it and it looks great in our backyard on the hill.

Fun for young and old (not that I'm old!)

Mason's favorite part is the play house.

The slide is super fast. He is a little afraid of it.

Now for some indoor fun Kamryn can enjoy.

Look at that drool. She is now 3 months old!

this is typical, big brother Mason is jealous his baby sister is getting attention.....

He just wants to show off his shopping cart like a big boy

My happy girl!
