Kizerian family Halloween Party

We celebrated Halloween for weeks it seems like. We got together with all the Kizerian siblings and had a monster party together. It was a fun night. Steele recommended we watch the Haunted Mansion...it was funny and so old! But I don't think I loved it as much as Steele did. Haha!
Because this was a late evening party, we took the kids in their pajamas and had them be whatever their pajamas were, hence the puppy dog and the zebra. Jason and I had nothing better to wear and threw on pirate-looking outfits. I had a hard time fitting anything over my belly.

Tyler had the funniest costume that he put together from stuff out of his garage. He was the incredible homeless man. He's so creative!

Ciera made mummy rolls, jello jigglers, nachos, hot chocolate and all the good stuff. She knows how to party!

Amanda and Jason

We played a mummy game of wrapping an entire roll of toilet paper around a person in the shortest amount of time.

Then we just played with the toilet paper. heehee.

...and we bobbed for apples outside. It was a very cold night so I snapped a shot and went inside to watch from the window. We had so much fun!

Brooklyn & Beckam's First day of School 2011

This is Beckam's first year of preschool and their first year that they get to go together. You can tell Beckam is already trying to stand tall like his sister. They were so excited for school!

Beckam doing the "yeah, I'm-a-big-boy-going-to-school dance" ha!

He took his football and Lightning McQueen car for show'n'tell...and most days after that he took the same thing.

Walking into the building hand-in-hand. You can see my shadow just following them around like a puppy with my camera :)

This looks more like a doubtful face to me.

Beckam getting his nametag and new bag to bring all his stuff home in.

They both gave me a hug and just walked into their classrooms like they knew exactly what to do on their own.

Makin' muffins! MMMMMMMM. These are my favorite muffins to make from scratch. Raspberry and Peach Melba Muffins.

What is the rain for? PUDDLE JUMPING with umbrellas!

We planted elephant ear this year in the front and it came up beautifully! It's my favorite- I hope it comes again next year- cross your fingers!

Baby #3 on the way!!!

Here I am a few months along with #3! We're so excited. My nausea has been intense, I am falling asleep with the blink of an eye, but hey, all is well.

Visit to Grandpa Wolfley's

This was taken right after church. The guy who took the picture ended up dropping it right on the concrete as he was trying to hand it back to me and our camera broke. So, I pretty much didn't have a camera the entire summer this year. :(

We packed up the car and took a long drive up to visit Carol and Grandpa Wolfley for the 3 day weekend of Memorial Day. The kids did awesome, except for all the fake-out bathroom stops they made us take!
"mommy, I have to go potty..." (so we pull off, find a place, run in like it's an emergency) and....nothing! "I guess not" giggle, giggle.

Brooklyn's last day of preschool 2011

Beckam and his little buddy found all the balloons in the hallway most exciting. Totally kept him occupied for a while. Amazing what a few balloons can do!

Brooklyn and Rebecca, our carpool buddy and good friend.

Saying goodbye to the great Mrs. Fonnesbeck.

Small moments

Beckam is funny because he's such a teaser- this is him thinking he's hiding from me. I was calling his name and he just lays there perfectly still with a pillow over his face thinking he is completely invisible.
