Happy Halloween


It's that time again?!? Here is our cute little house all decked out with Halloween Decor.

My Kitchen.... I have 2 sets of Halloween plates and I switch them up each year. This set Sophia gave me for my birthday...Tay and I bought this jack-o-lantern cookie jar the first year we were married... So it's almost 9 years old!
Every year I get out my cute cat face and put mums in it

I decorated the shelves with some old and new things. I got this weird witch in a pumpkin years ago.Tay got these great pictures last year that have a old-timey face which turn evil as you walk past it.I love Halloween decorations that have an old vintage feel to them.

This is the Halloween cross-stitch my mom made for me. It says "on a clear and starry night, Halloween is such a fright, witches roam and goblins too, then home to bowls of pumpkin stew."

I added these little mice all throughout the house this year.... can you spot them in other pictures?

Elliott is 4 month old

I can't believe he is growing so fast! Here is my little Rat boy at 4 months:


Elliott currently weighs 12 pounds and 13 ounces. His height is 24 inches.
He started daycare this month. We were lucky to have our friend, Jodanna be his
sitter and in-addition she has a son who is exactly a month older then Elliott.
They love to stare at each other. He also loves to stand, get kisses from Pippen, and
he finds it hilarious when Dad makes whistling noises. He also had his first cold this
month. He was such a sad baby, with a stuffy noise and cough. It's starting to get cold
here and I realized I don't have a lot of warm outdoors outfits or Elliott. So I'm going
to go get some soon.

On the Mom front: I'm just having a fun time being a Mom. I started to have Monday and Fridays off of work and school so I'm able to have one-to-one time with Elliott. I always try to plan a fun outing or a visit with Elliott's friends.

Elliotts favorite thing...

Eating his hand........

Wilsure trip to Washington Coast

We went to Coupeville on the Washington coast for Labor Day with the Williams. It reminded Taylor and I how much we love the coast and the ocean. We hope to live by the sea someday.
Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure:
