Kaden started baseball last month, but with school, fall break, 2 birthdays, and Halloween, I haven't had a chance to blog it yet!! We signed him up through NYS for Coach pitch. He practices once a week and has "games" (everyone hits the ball, everyone runs the bases) on Saturdays. He really likes it. I think more than anything he likes his little friend Ella who is on his team. She is the only girl and super cute. Second to that I think he loves his uniform.....so much for hitting and catching the ball, right!!!

Waiting his turn to be up at bat.

In the outfield, ready to catch some fly balls

Swinging' that bat...he has a pretty good swing, too!

Running to home plate!

What a handsome boy...he looks to old already!!!

Halloween 2010!

Halloween was more like a 3-day weekend around our house! On Thursday, Gavin had his party at school, and got to wear his costume to school. He saw this costume in the store and told me he wanted to be the "dirtbike guy" (aka, motocross driver.) Too bad for him, everybody thought it was nascar...oh well!

Brotherly love before the trunk or treat

walking out to get their loot!

The whole class with Miss Chrissy, his teacher

On Friday, it was Kaden's class party! Thankfuly Spiderman was there to make sure no wrong-doing went on!

Trunk or Treat

Buddies, Joshua, Miles and Kade!(ironman, karate kid, and spiderman)

The kids were so excited for Sunday....they tried to put their costumes on several time throughout the day!

Finally! Time to get ready:)

Zoey was my spunky ballerina! I was gonna go with the traditiona; pink tutu, but then I had these tights that I couldn't pass up so I amde her this black and white tutu instead. She looked awesome!

I also really enjoyed her little waddle from the back!

Joel did a little dress up too...I think he is a little too convincing as a junkie....should I be worried?

Last year we were invited to T or T with some friends that have a chili potluck in their neigobrhood, and we went again this year too. So it was off to Pleasentville (Agritopia) for the night!

Zoey was ready!

So were the boys!

The boys liked the "vacant" houses where they got to pick out their own loot!

Zo started to get a little antsy....nothing that a sucker won't solve, though!

Our Family!

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Birthday Recap

So this year I got to experience the joy (pain) of dealing with two kids' with birthdays 2 days apart. Between planning 2 birthday parties and Halloween, I am going to start dreading October. But now that it is over, I cannot believe how fast it all has flown by.

This year I really wanted Kaden to have a party with just his friends, not my friends and their kids. Though he loves my friends kids, we already did that with Gavin, and would be doing it for Zoey's b-day party too. We kept it pretty simple, and invited friends from school, boys only! Kade had been wanting to do the rock wall at the gym, so we opted to do his birthday party there, since now that he was 5, he was old enough to do the rock wall.

His party was a Spiderman theme, but really, any superhero will do, so the boys opted for matching Superman shirts for the party!

Kaden with his friends, ready to get this party started!

Some of the kids couldn't do the rock wall, so they opted for funn jump toys and the bounce house!

Kaden is all suited up and ready to go

He loved it, and made it all the way to the top without any hesitation! ( I know this suprises you!)

Bounce house fun!

Scooter races!!

Only a few fingers were run over by the wheels...no fingers were lost, thankfully!

Pizza time!!!

I made spiderman cupcakes, and neglected to take pictures, of course!

His party went great, he had a great time and got lots of superhero toys from his friends. We did his b-day party early, so 3 days later, we celebrated his actual Birthday:

Stuart Little - He asked for the movie after we read the book

Thanking little brother for his superhero book and card game.

And finally.....Heely's! He's been asking for them for about 6 months. He's doing pretty good with them too!!

The following weekend, it was time celebrate our little Angel's b-day. It was a busy day...Kaden had his very first baseball game just 2 hours before her party (b-ball post to come soon) and it was still very warm outside!
