Halloween 2015

I have been not very good at blogging the last half a year or so. Thanks to my friend Jenna for posting about her girls' Halloween, otherwise I don't think I would have even thought to do it! 

Here is Bob and Larry from Veggie Tales. Aunt Erin made these costumes for cousins Rhett and Leah several years ago.

At a local trunk & treat...we are a one-stop and done kind of Halloween family. 

And just for kicks...baby girl at 30 weeks. 

18 Months - Micah

This boy keeps us on our toes! He is our sweet Buster.

I can't believe Micah is a year and a half, but in some ways it feels like he's 3. He is a climber, and get-into-stuff-er, and an instigator. BUT he is also, the life of the party, a charmer, an entertainer, and a sweet sweet boy. At church he is the snuggler and he is almost always successful in finding a sweet lady (or girl) to hold him the entire time mama's gone. Micah loves to be around his brother and this morning, when Eli was still sleeping, Micah snuck upstairs to wake him up. It was hard to be mad at him when he really just missed his brother. And really, that's Micah in a nut shell. Most of the time when he's supposed to be in trouble, he somehow gets out of it, because I think if he could talk he would have a valid reason as to why he did what he did. 

Micah still doesn't have a lot of words, although can communicate very well. He says "ut oh", "night night", "all done", "mama", "dada", I think he tries to say "brother" but it comes out as "bo", "bye", " ball", "papa", " ty ty" (congratulations Tyler), "no", he nods yes when you ask him questions and uses his eyebrows too (it's just too cute), "uh-huh" (meaning no), and he woofs (for dogs) and moos (for cows and occasionally horses). :) 

We love this little boy SO much. He adds some spice to our lives and we are so grateful the Lord has entrusted him to us.

Blurry brothers :)

Sitting on a booster seat! (too many close calls climbing in and out of his high chair when mom wasn't near)

Oh girl!?!

Brent and I have deemed it time to announce to anyone who cares that we are expecting to add a little girl to our family in January! We can hardly believe it. Eli has been convinced baby was a girl since we found out we were pregnant. Micah is no idea what is coming (poor Buster) but he is making up for it by keeping mom on her toes. He is a climber, and apparently thinks he is 3 1/2 like his brother and thus can do things that 3 1/2 year-olds do. He's constantly pushing the envelope while giving me the cutest little grin you've ever seen. Love my boys and love this baby girl! 

Not the best sono pic we've had. She was face down and would not cooperate. I think she was asleep and didn't want to be disturbed- already like mama. :)
