Halloween '10

Aunt Sis won 1st prise in the Adult costume catagory. She is really the only one that dressed up:) All the kiddos together made Halloween so fun. Cate was the party pooper. She did not feel well. Turns out the next morning she had a fever / nasty cold. Poor baby.

Jehr 8 years, Brock 3.75 years, Cora 3 years, Hank 22 months, Cate 6 months, and Kade 12 weeks. As Cliff likes to say: "5 under the age of 4"

It was pretty cold. Cora J pooped out after 4 houses. She tried to ride in the wagon, but that only lasted 4 more houses and home we came. Oh well, she had enough candy for the rest of the year and she was ready for a sucker.

OH party

Old Hawthorne threw a bash for the kiddos. Cora fell in love with Princess Hilary and her Frog Prince. She had to know where they were at all times. We had dinner, made S'mores, listened to spooky stories and Cora and Mommy went on a hayride. We are hoping it is an annual event!

Halloween Party

Cora's Preschool had a Halloween Party. The kids dressed up and went trick-or-treating around downtown Mexico. They were fired up to get all that candy! After snacks, they serenaded us with their Halloween songs. Cora's favorite was "Here is my Pumpkin Big and Round". So animated when she sang it!

Sucker

Daddy thought it would be funny to put one of Cora's suckers in front of Cate. Did not take her long to figure out what to do with it. So funny.

Dorothy+Cowardly Lion

Took these pics a week before Halloween because the weather was so perfect and well, once a little girl knows that she has a Dorothy costume she wants to wear it EVERY DAY! ENJOY.

Homecoming Parade '10

Always a good time! Cora loved the Missouri Mules, Cate loved all the stimulation, and Mama enjoyed Aunt Marla. We scored some Kettle Corn, mmmmm.

COLLEGE GAMEDAY

What an event, College Gameday came to Columbia, MO! Cliff and I enjoyed walking around the entire Quad and taking it all in! It is a day we will never forget :) Jenea even got in front the camera man for a split second!

CATE 6 Months

My how the days pass. Our baby girl is already 6 months old. Our love for her is OVER THE MOON and BACK. She radiates LIGHT, LOVE, GRACE, and looking at her is like looking into the Sun. It is so beautiful it hurts.

Marla/Chuck

Aunt Marla and her friend Chuck came to visit for MU Homecoming! Cora had to dress up in her Halloween attire for them. When she went to bed, Mommy and Daddy HAD to go to Black and Gold with them :)

Pumpkin Carving Party

Mexico Methodist Preschool PUMPKIN CARVING NIGHT! We had a blast! It was our first time carving pumpkins as a family. We had snacks and the kids sang Halloween songs on the stage. They thought they were BIG stuff :) October 2010
