So October has come and gone and I have NO good excuse for not blogging so here it is all in a nut shell. And I have to work my way backwards through the month......

HAPPY HALLOWEEN...

isn't he the cutest Tony Romo you've ever seen.

at Trunk or Treat, he decided he was to good for all the other kids and wanted to ride his power wheels instead of walk! Smart kid!!!!!

SUPRISE!!! Here "it" is this was at 8 weeks and 5 days. (As of today im 11 weeks and 2 days.) Isnt is "it" super cute!!! We are very excited to annouce that Baby#2 will make "its" debute May 23, 2010. And we should be finding out what it is right before christmas they are saying December 21st or 23rd!!! so stay tuned

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the sweetest 2(min) year old there is!! He started and ended his day the same way...on daddy's motorcycle!!

opened LOTS of presents

this was the most exciting presetn and once he opensed it of course he wanted to ride it ASAP but after reading the directions it had to charge for 18 hours! Try explaing that to a very upset 2 year old!!!!

sooo 1st thing the next morning here we are riding out power wheels- which he calls Owens Motorcycle

We were very fortunate to have the Sanders family come at the begining of the month so I decided to have Owens birthday party early so his cousin could be here. We went to Going Bonkers and they LOVED it! Even the adults....Richard!!!!

Owen didn't let Avery outta his sit while they were here and I know he loved every min of it. He had to do and say and eat everything she had.

watching the Wizard of Oz

we took the tour of the new Cowboys stadium and it was amazing

we also went to the great State Fair of Texas.... I love the fair and I really LOVE the food! But the kids they just wanted to rides.

one night mom got out some of the costumes she made when were kids and let the grandkids try them on....they are pretty cute!!

Thanks for coming to visit us Sanders Family, we miss you and love you lots!!!
