Follow the yellow brick road...

Introducing for the first time the 2008 edition of the Wizard of Oz. Here is the brilliant and talented cast: Kelsey as the cowardly lion, Addie as the scarecrow, Logan as the tin man, Jake as a flying monkey and Haley as Dorthy. Aren't they cute???
Haley and Logan loved their costumes. Haley also had a basket that she carried around ToTo with. Logan carried around an ax to help complete his costume. They both came from their school Halloween parties that they had a lot of fun at. Kelsey wasn't a big fan of her costume until the day of Halloween. She loved it so much she didn't want to take it off! Addie really did love her costume. She just needed some food in her belly. Jacob hated his costume so much he decided to spit up all over it right before picture time.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Old Man

Over the weekend, we celebrated Steve's 30th birthday! Steve's family came up from Indy on Sunday to help celebrate. It was a nice visit and Jacob sure enjoyed seeing everyone again! We ate lots of food and watched the Bears get another victory and the Colts lose. Happy Birthday Steve!

Steve is receiving his "30 birthday spankings" from his mom!

Halloween Decorations

Today Steve spent his birthday (which I will blog about after this weekend) decorating the outside of our house with scary Halloween decorations. We took some pictures for those of you who can't make it here for trick or treating...enjoy!

Rice Cereal

Today we fed Jake rice cereal for the first time. Lately he seems to be getting bored with his soy bottles so we thought it was time to change it up a bit. We assembled the new high chair, slapped on his "chicks dig me" bib and gave it a whirl. Considering it was his first try, he did pretty well. He probably got more on his face and bid than in his stomach but he seemed to be enjoying himself. His four month well baby check up is November 4. We will explore more solid foods then. For now, we will stick with the soy bottles and rice cereal. We will keep you updated.

Breast Cancer Corn Hole Fundraiser

This Saturday we went to the Village for a breast cancer fundraiser. There was a corn hole tournament, raffles, live music, and much more. It was all for a great cause and a lot of fun! Sue Richmond (picture above) and her family and friends were the ones who put the event together. What a wonderful job they all did. The corn hole tournament was a blast even though Steve and I did not perform well! It was double elimination and we were out after playing 4 games. Unfortunately, the rest of the family didn't do much better except for Ariel and his partner Matt. They made it all the way to the championship game but ended up losing at the last minute. We were all proud anyway!

The Mason's win the award for matching sweatshirts. What great team spirit they have. As you can see by Clay's facial expression, he is already planing their "matching" outfit for next year!

Good luck Cubs!
