Absolutely Silly!!!

Brennan is always very entertaining! If you remember a few posts back he insisted on sleeping in his shoes...well a few days after that he slept all night with socks on his hands!
He is talking non-stop. Some of my favorites are:
criker creaters coming (trick-or-treaters coming)
huwts...BERWY BAD (hurts very bad - while pointing at a boo boo)

The other day in the car Madison said, "Brennan, I am going to tell you a funny joke. The chicken crossed the road." To which Brennan cracked up and responded, "dat vewy funny mannie"

hats...

We went to a freshman football game the other day and while the kids didn't get too into the game (until halftime when they went down onto the track and threw the ball around) they got into getting ready for it. They were very excited to wear these matching hats, and as you can see, Madison is very into posing for pictures!

Some things we are loving about Oregon....

We have really enjoyed the beautiful fall, and have actually had a couple weeks of beautiful sunshine, which I am very thankful for!
Mike's favorite things: the view of the mountains off the back of our house(which you can't see in the picture because of the low clouds, but I thought the trees were pretty), and even more than that, the view of mount. hood out front.
My favorite things: being just down the street from a great mall :), and the walking paths that are everywhere. They are great for the kids to ride bikes and scooters. The only thing I don't like about it, is the walk back is all uphill...and you know no one is riding bikes or scooters by that point...so I end up carrying it all!

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year. The kids got to go to two different Harvest Parties (one earlier in the week) and then when we got home from the Church last night they handed out candy to the trick or treat-ers. Maddie really got into handing the candy out, once she realized that she didn't have to give them her candy. We didn't get to much into costumes...just what we had around the house, but we tried.

BRENNAN IS 2!!!!!!!

Times goes so fast...we celebrated Brennan's second birthday on Monday. We stuck to a quite family birthday, with lots of trains and cake. Now that Bren is 2, he has become very independent and opinionated. His favorite thing to say is,"SELF, mommy" and as you can see in the pic, he insits on wearing these shoes to bed!
