Halloween

We spent our Halloween this year participating the our usual traditions. We went trick-o-treating at Grandpa and Grandma Case's house.

We joined the Halls, Cerios, and LeMonniers for dinner and trick-o-treating around the neighborhood.  It was such a fun evening with food and friends.

Pumpkin Carving

Josh and the boys carved pumpkins.  This means Daddy did most of the work while the boys watched.  Each of them had their opinion on the look of their pumpkin and each one did a little cleaning when it came to taking out the yuckies.

The final products were just perfect.

Star of the Week

Ezekiel was his class' star of the week.  He brought in pictures of him doing things he likes...

He also brought in his favorite book...the Bible.

His favorite toy...batman lego figure.

And his favorite person...his Daddy!  Daddy was able to share with the class what he does for work.  He was also able to shoot soda out of a two liter to show the kids in the class what happens when you add mentos to soda.  Just a little example of what he does with the students at his job.

Ezekiel's School Halloween Carnival

We enjoyed a lovely evening at Village View's Halloween Carnival.  The boys played tons of games, got lots of trinkets, and enjoyed themselves immensely.

Ezekiel's First Field Trip

Ezekiel went on his first school field trip.  His class rode the bus (which was Ezekiel's favorite part of the trip) to a pumpkin patch.

He ran around with his friends...

climbed on tractors...

(Jackson, Cooper, Shayden, Aiden, Ezekiel, Jace, Miles, Cade)

and picked out his very own pumpkin.

Outdoor Play

We spend a LOT of time playing outside.  Right now the boys LOVE playing kick ball...

Titus also loves his monkey and will wear it all the time!

Our Boys Love Mud

 Sometimes boys just need to get a little muddy...

Vacuum Obsession

Titus LOVES the vacuum.  So much that he will try sneaking it out of the closet to use it.  He loves to push it around, but he also loves to use the attachments. Sometimes he ends up even vacuuming himself.

Big Shoes

Titus loves to put on Daddy's shoes...

one, two, three, four, five, SIX!!!!

Ezekiel turned six and he no longer can show his age with one hand.  How they grow so quickly.

We enjoyed our birthday doughnuts.

He enjoyed a day at school where he got to wear this fun hat all day.

Ezekiel was able to have 2 different opportunities to open gifts.  The first time was at our family birthday dinner.  

He also got to enjoy his lego cake.

I love this picture (even though it is not clear) because it shows the love these two have for each other.

The second time was on his actual birthday.  It was a lego FULL birthday!

He also popped his 6 balloons to get his dollar bills.

Ezekiel is such a great boy.  We sit back and look at how much he has grown, what a hard worker he is, how he desires to please, is willing to help, has a desire to be hugged and loved on, loves to play outside and get dirty, has transitioned so well into kindergarten, and for the most part is a great big brother (the occasional bossing and exerting of oldest authority does happen) and we smile...Ezekiel you are a wonderful boy.  We are blessed to have you as our son!
