Happy Halloween

My Giraffe was so great at trick or treating!

My little lion (i'm going to dress him up again tomorrow and take more pictures)

Here are a few pictures of Micah with his Halloween hat that he made at school
We visited Daddy at work to show off our costumes. After a march around the office the boys took off their costumes to relax. Micah wouldn't let me take his picture because he was to busy playing with the elephants

Monkey Bizness

Here are the photos from Micah's Birthday at Monkey Bizness. He had so much fun and so did his friends.

Sweet Anika

It's hard to tell in this picture but i just had to post it because Charlie was having the best time on this silly bounce thing.

All the kids just love these silly bee cars when we go to monkey bizness, the funny thing is I've never seen one outside the place.

The boys really enjoyed the cupcakes. Can you tell?

After our afternoon out the boys enjoyed some play time together. Micah is such a great big brother, Josiah just loves him.

He's 3!

I can't believe it, it's official he's 3! I love him so much and don't remember what life was like before he came into our lives. He makes every day brighter, he is such a joy. I love that i wake to him singing skidamarink a dink a dink, and him shouting its not dark can i come out? Hes grown so much and become such a little man in 3 short years.
Today to celebrate his birthday we met friends at Monkey Bizness (Micah loves it there) and ate cupcakes, it was simple but perfect. I took lots of pictures and will post them soon. Here's my favorite picture of all time, this is how i think of him often.

Happy 3rd Birthday Micah!!!

October 23rd we celebrated Micah's 3rd Birthday with close friends and family. We celebrated at Just For Kicks, just outside Aurora in Plainfield. It was such a cute party, all the kids had a blast.

It all started with an adorable invite thanks to my amazingly talented friend Abbi. Thank You we love you and your family!

I made this adorable sign.

Thanks to my amazing friend Erin and sister Katie we decorated the party room with blowup soccer balls and hints of green. It turned out so cute the pictures just don't do it justice.Our take home favors were these cute soccer cups and goodie bags. The cups were a hit and the kids were crazy for the treats. I also made chocolate covered pretzels and marshmallows on a stick. The kids went nuts for them thus i have no pictures :)

I made this cute shirt (Allwyn wasn't crazy about it) for Micah to wear to his party. Whats not to love he's 3!

Most of the kids at the party.

Present time :) Micah was getting into the bags so fast i couldn't keep up.
The party was a hit from the fun activities to the yummy food. I couldn't have done it without a great husband and awesome friends. Especially you Erin, you're the BEST!!! Love you and your boys. Micah was so excited when he woke on Saturday and found a special guest had come for his party. Auntie Katie!!! Thanks Katie for all your help with Josiah and thanks for giving us a weekend from your busy college schedule.
Lastly, Thank you to my amazing husband who drove to pick Katie up after work on Friday and for all your help with the party. And for putting up with my crazy party planning. You have just 6 months until Josiah turns 1 and i get crazy again. Love YOU!!!

Kuipers Family Farm

Once again this year we made a trip to Kuipers Family Farm with our friends. Last year the 3 of us each had one little boy fast forward to this year we all have two. It's so wonderful to share motherhood with these amazing women and their boys! I took a lot of pictures of Micah having fun! Here are just a few...

Micah LOVED the corn box. He was rolling around in it and having a blast. He got so dirty that he needed a bath when we got home!Micah enjoyed picking out three pumpkins. They are so cute and perfect. I'll have to post pictures of them later, I forgot to take some. He was so proud that he pulled the wagon and picked them out all by himself.

We also enjoyed some very yummy donuts but somehow i didn't get any pictures of that either, or my Josiah! How does that happen?
