Happy Halloween!

Ayson's first Halloween!
We carved pumpkins and made sure Ayson was not left out. He even got to greet one round of trick or treaters (in his duck costume, of course) before it was bedtime:)







We got our first snowfall tonight...the bright spots in front of the pumpkins are snowflakes. At one point, we could not see the mountain, due to the snow coming down.

A Sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa McPike's!

A^3 stayed with Grandma Collene and Grandpa Ric Friday night. We had all sorts of fun on Saturday. And we got to play with Kaela, Curran, and Auntie Julie again!

Ayson determined to get Suzy's toy mouse.

Ayson loves Grandpa Ric's whiskers.



We like the MSU hat on Kaela :) Too bad MSU did not show up for the game Saturday night!

Halloween Party for the Babies

Aunt Donna had all of the cousins and their babies over for a costume party on Friday night. It was great to see everyone AND all of the babies...wow, have they grown!

Jacob was a puppy, Curran was a skeleton, Asyon was a duck, Kaela was a fairy, Connor was a bumble bee, and Alaina was a ladybug :) Noah (not in the picture) was a pumpkin.

Hello!!!

Ayson just wanted to get REALLY close and say "HELLO!!" :)

Hide and See with Daddy!

Last week Daddy took Ayson to get his second flu shot. Afterwards, they had plenty of time to play together before Mommy got home :)

Off to Grandpa Chuck and Pama's House!

Wow, what a busy weekend! After all the visitors on Saturday, A^3 went to Grandpa Chuck and Pama's house on Sunday. The boys had a great time watching football, we all enjoyed a fantabulous meal, and Pama and I went for a great walk!

Visitors on Saturday!!

Sasha and Tee visited with A^3 on Saturday and brought lunch with them...yum! Thanks for the visit, the food, AND Ayson's new toys :)



Grandma Collene and Grandpa Ric came over Saturday night to play with and babysit Ayson while Mommy and Daddy had a "date night" :)




Grandma and Grandpa gave Ayson his VERY first pumpkin! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the visit, the pumpkin, and the chance for Mommy and Daddy to go out!!
