It feels like it's been forever since I've blogged last. Where do I start? We have been busy with B in T-ball, which is strange since he only had practice one night a week and a game every Saturday for 6 weeks. It seriously felt like it took over our life - I have no idea how people do it with more than one kid in sports or kids in multiple sports. It was fun though, and B learned a lot about what it takes to be on a team. Doesn't he look so cute in his little helmet and uniform? (Enthusiastic, not so much.) I cannot believe he will be 5 in four months. Blows my mind.






This little fireball is my constant side-kick. Even more than her brother, if that is possible. She prefers me to everyone - even Daddy - which is cute, but a little draining. Her personality is coming out more and more and it cracks me up. B told her the other day, "Blake, stop acting like Mom!!" (She repeats everything I say to B. For example, if I say "It's time to get out of the car, B", Blake will say the exact same thing to him, but in an exasperated tone.) I couldn't help but laugh out loud.





Some friends of ours invited us to the Dallas Arboretum. They go all out for Halloween - it was pretty amazing.






What kind of face is this??







B is still completely obsessed with dinosaurs. I know the dinosaurs look like they are just set randomly on the floor, but if you look closely you will notice he has organized them into different classes of species - all the stegosauruses with stegosauruses, triceratops with triceratops, etc.




You have to love this girl.





Oh, dear.





Do our kids look alike or what? Siblings for sure.









At our ward trunk-or-treat. It was pretty much impossible to get them to look at the camera at the same time.






Our friends let us borrow this dragon costume. He told me originally that he wanted to be a compsognathus dinosaur. I tried not to laugh every time he told me, but I didn't have the heart to tell him that wasn't going to happen. Luckily I convinced him that this costume was a dinosaur. Worked like a charm.



It looks like he is in pain, but he was doing his best dinosaur roar/snarl impression.

Ahhh, I know how you feel about T-Ball, bc we've had the same experience with soccer this year! One more game left!!

Fun post, and thank you again for watching our kids!! They had a blast, and Stone had so many stories for us.

I'm glad you posted- I've been thinking about you a bunch, and told Luke last night that we need to come visit you soon. I finally finished the book you let me borrow, and I want to borrow your jumper from you. And see you and stuff. :)
