Costume Parade

Levi's school had their annual Halloween costume parade. Beau wanted to be part of the parade at some point. The kids all looked adorable.

Apex Center

One of the best days we had was spent at the Apex center playing in the water. We went down every slide with Levi. Beau and Chase loved the water and spent a lot of time in the baby area. Such a great time! Levi's swimming skills have improved so much and water parks are so much more fun now that he swims.

Anderson Pumpkin Patch

It was a very hot day but we had a great time coming back to the Anderson Pumpkin Patch. The kids loved mining for gold together. We went on a hay ride and picked out pumpkins with the kiddos. Levi got to ride on the big tricycles. We took the short route in the Maze to avoid getting lost.

Denver Zoo

We had a blast at the Denver Zoo with all of the kiddos. Beau pointed and yelled in excitement at every animal he saw. We went to every station to get candy and went home with a ton. Our favorite was a bear that would stand up and smile, and yes he was real.

Visting Colorado!

We went to Colorado at the end of October to visit Auntie Amber and Chase! We had so much fun and it was great to see the season change out there. We went to the Denver Zoo, the Children's Museum, Anderson Pumpkin Patch and the Apex Center. So much fun!

Picture People Pictures

These pictures were taken when Levi was 4 and a half and Beau was 1 and a half. It was a challenge to keep Beau still but we ended up getting some good pictures.

Beau- 17 Months

Beau loves to go in the backyard and play in the dirt and rocks everyday. He points at planes every time they go over our house. We have to hide the markers because he takes the caps off and draws on himself and the walls. He watches what I do and loves to copy me. Beau gets really excited when Daddy and Beau wrestle and tries to join in. He is a mellow boy but throws a bit of a fit when he doesn't get things his way.

T-ball

Levi is playing t-ball this year and is on the Cubs just like his daddy was when he was little. He loves to bat but gets bored in the out field. He has games every Saturday and is always excited to go!

Brothers

Levi and Beau still have a long way to go to forming a close brother relationship. They seem to fight over things a lot and yell at each other. Levi is learning how to be a good big brother and shares pretty well with him. The biggest problem is that Beau wants everything Levi has a wont back down. I hope their relationship gets better as Beau gets older.

Swim

After a drowning scare last summer we put him in lessons and stopped using his floatie. Levi goes swimming at his grandparents two days a week after pre-school. He can swim the whole length of the pool by himself. He loves to dive down and get toys on the bottom of the shallow end. We are so proud of his progress and are so grateful to his Nanny for swimming with him so much. Beau has to be watched at all times around the pool because he think he can swim and goes right in. He kicks his feet and paddles with his hands already. He loves to put his face in the water and blow bubbles.

The Park

Nanny came along with us on a walk to our favorite park down the street. Levi wanted to wear his Superhero cape and tried to push the stroller all the way. That lasted about a minute but I like his effort. It is so nice to have a park we can walk to. Although, they are usually so tired by the time that we leave that I have to push them both home in the stroller.
