Capturing my Favorite Moments in October 2009

I really have been SUPER behind on blogging these last few months, but I really just wanted to share some of my favorite pictures over the last few months starting with October.

Shane, Mason and I stayed up late carving Pumpkins one night.
They really turned out cute! Here's their finished products!

Mason was so proud to display them on our porch!

The biggest bummer about October was when we found out that Charlotte had RSV. She really was a sick baby girl for a few weeks and I feel VERY blessed and lucky that she didn't ever get as bad as I knew she could get!

Siblings! Mason just LOVES his baby sister! I think this pictures says it all!

Visiting with Grandma Nancy (I just love little Char's CHUBBY-ness in this picture!)

And this Darling picture with Grandma Dahl

Matching cousins! Luke came over to our house for a few hours with the same shirt on as Mason! Mase was SO excited about this and just HAD to have a picture! They're just too cute!

And last but not least some pictures of me and my babies!

I love Charlee's cheesy smile in this picture the very most!

Halloween 2009

Before I forget some of my most favorite moments of the night, I wanted to quickly get them in!

My most favorite was Mason's Trick or Treating!

Each House that we Trick or Treated at, Mason would RUN up the walk, Ring the door bell, knock a few times, and ring once more if they hadn't made it to the door already.. Then he would happily SCREAM "TRICK OR TREAT!!!!" Followed by a full 3 minutes (at each house) explanation to each neighbor about how they need to watch out for monsters, and if they knock on your door, DON'T answer. They're scary, scary guys! (picture his eyes getting bigger with each SCARY!)" lol! I even heard him lean in close to a neighbor who was trying to follow closely and say "The monster will GET you!!! don't let them in!!" So funny! He also got good at sticking one foot in the door, or just barging right into the homes. We quickly started calling him the Trick or Treat Door to Door Salesman. They'd answer the door and he was prepared with a Trick of talking their ear off!

Halloween was super fun this year for Mason, but also partly a BIG Bummer when we found out the week before that our sweet little 4 month old baby girl had RSV. She got through it pretty fast, and LUCKILY we didn't have to take her to the hospital. Just LOTS of breathing treatments at home, and prayers!



Mason had TWO Halloween costumes this year. The first one was Peter Pan, with his baby sister coordinating as Tinker Bell. I didn't get many pictures of this cute little twosome since the baby was still VERY sick with RSV and we didn't dare take her out... so Mommy took Mason out to our Ward "Trunk or Treat", and Daddy stayed home with Baby Charlee.



Halloween night, Mason decided he wanted to wear his KNIGHT dress up costume. He actually made a VERY cute Knight in Shinning Armor!



I did put Charlotte in her Costume for a few minutes to try and snap some shots of the two kids together, but she was miserable and never once cracked a smile. Poor Baby!

And Halloween wouldn't be complete without dumping the loot bag and seeing whatcha got! The minute we got home from Trick or Treating, Mason IMMEDIATELY wanted to put back on his Peter Pan Costume! I REALLY do love Halloween for the dress ups and imagination! So so Fun!

She's 4 months Old Today!

My baby girl is 4 months old! I can hardly believe how fast the time has gone!

Charlotte a joy to have in our home. She has a very easy going mild personality. She's been sleeping through the night since two months and she has a go with the flow kind of personality. She addores her Daddy and lights up when Mason even glances in her direction!

Shane's Birthday

For Shane's Birthday Present, I thought it would be fun if Mason took Daddy to Medievil Times. Shane and Mason both had never been, so I set it up and we made a party out of it and invited Shane's brother, Darian, his wife, Jacque and they brought along two of their boys. Shane's best friend Jeff and his fiance Robin also came.

When we first got there, Shane wasn't really sure what to think! Lol! But once the little boys got into it, it didn't take long for the big boys to follow! We were assigned to the Green Knight (luckily because Mason had already made up his mind that we were going to be Green before they assigned us our seating!). He didn't win, but he put up a good fight! It was a LOT of fun!




Here are some of the many pictures I snapped that night.

Happy Birthday Shane! I hope you had fun!
