Ellie had a Rainbow Birthday party! We had so much fun. 
She loved having her friends over for her special day.
The kids loved getting to make their own bracelets.
I had a hard time finding a good rainbow cake design idea for Ellie. So this is what I came up with. Thank goodness Ellie loved it and she discovered Kiwi!
We all had so much fun going out to chop down our own Christmas tree this year!
But it was COLD! 9 degrees cold!
Above, My big brother and I in Lake Jackson.
Claire finally got to meet Nanny.
It was so great to visit!
Papa, Claire and Aubrey- My new niece.
Claire was not happy to have her picture taken.
Then she was happy.
Bat girl and Obi Wan Kanobi.
Yes , that is Claire screaming.
more to come..
To go through and find these pictures was so fun. 2007 when we lived in DC, Ellie was almost One in the pic above.
Above, Ethan was 2. That was during his serious bull riding phase.
Ahh yes,2008 now below was when we had moved to Colorado. Ethan(3) was Robin hood, and sometimes Peter Pan in that costume that I made. Ellie(1) was a butterfly. They were so cute!
The next year, 2009 Ellie below with Ethan trick or treating.
2010, They have changed so much since last year. I will post pics after tonight. Happy Halloween everyone.
Claire and I joined Ethan's class field trip to the Pumpkin Patch today. It was so fun.
They had hay mazes, Corn pits, hay rides. Pumpkins and all sorts of little games.
Oh and this was just me having fun with Ellie's hair.
SO hard to get a picture of Claire smiling with the 3 second delay on my phone camera. Don't you just love Ethan's tooth gap smile?
We took a little hike today. It was so nice to be out and see some of the changing leaves.
Ethan finally lost his front tooth tonight. It has been dangling for days. I hope the tooth Fairy remembers to visit tonight.
I know its been quite a while. We have been very busy . Also, Claire dropped my camera in Sasha's water bowl. The camera still works, but takes very blurry pics. So ... needless to say I have missed many photo moments. But here a few taken with my phone or Richard's. Soon I will get Claire's Bday pics up.
Ethan, above at 3 years old then now at 6.
