Halloween 2008

Yes, I wore a costume (gulp) and one i didnt have to hide in:) We went to Chesterfield mall since it is safe and there is always perfect weather. WE had fun. The duo tired of walking earlier than I anticipated. They insisted on eating every piece of candy as they recieved it and couldnt grasp throwing it in the bag. It was fun. The duo go A LOT of attention, even having a few people stop to pose with them and have pictures taken. Two girls who were asian went nuts over the two of them in their get-up. Check out Trevor's muscles......

Diana and the girls gave us a wonderful fall visit.

City Museum has got to be the COOLEST place on earth. If i ever move away, I would desire to come back to St Louis just for city museum. It is the neatest playground. For kids and adults. The weather was perfect. Just a good chill in the air and warm family to be with.

The giant ball pit- rock on!!!!!

This sisters pic really cracks me up.

Jordan and I.

They are just beautiful. It breaks my heart when they leave, everytime. I know the next time I see them they will be that much more grown up.

All of us!!! this turned out to be such a wonderful picture of all of us. I love my family.

Trevor's 8th birthday

We had our friends meet us to surprise Trevor. We went to The Incredible Pizza Co for dinner and some fun. We then went to Powder Valley for a night time nature hike via flashlight.

Theis Farm-Pumpkinland Creve Cour,MO

Theis Farm and Market, Creve Cour, MO

It was a wonderfully warm October day. This weekend, I was off, so we headed over to the pumpkin farm. It was something like our Hilger's back home.
There were lots of yummy produce items to buy and some yummy homemade treats. My favorite was getting some apple cider- however later we realized that letting the duo drink this had a lovely effect on their hind-end production. Poor Logan had diarrhea.
There was a large pirate ship made out of hay. They boys liked dressing up and looking for buried treasure.
We did a hayride pulled by a large tractor. They told us all about how the produce is grown. Trevor liked seeing the broccoli and how it looks quite different than the frozen veggie package in the freezer.





The boys enjoyed riding the mini versions of tractors. Then we went into the great corn maze. Trevor picked out his prize pumpkin. He said "mine is perfect". I agreed.
We came home after a busy day and baked pizza's and made spice cake cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. It made a great ending to a great day.

Gotta love being (almost) 8

It isnt hard to see that Trevor is flourishing in reading and writing at school. His IEP has helped immensely and already we are notincing the benefits of having such a plan. So this morning, I open up the pantry to find that trevor has taken to labeling his "goods". This made me laugh out loud, so of course I had to take a picture. He amazes me daily as his reading has totally taken off. He even told me the other day that he wanted to "concentrate on my spelling so I can be the smartest kid." He is absolutely loving his school year and is having so much fun learning. Some things we can't even spell in front of him anymore since he knows what we are talking about. YIKES!

six flags st louis fright fest 08

We love having season passes so we can go experience the fun of Fright Fest for Halloween. WE went with the Zlatarich family and had so much fun riding the rollercoasters in the cool dark air.
