Halloween Wedding, Trunk or Treat and Fall!

We went to Daddy's cousin's wedding last weekend, and they had a Halloween theme so we all got to dress up. Here is one pair...Darth and the Emperor.

Here's an attempt at the other pair...Batman and Robin. Batman was too busy trying to save Gotham to pause for a picture.

Last Sunday our church had its annual Trunk or Treat. Sam decided to be a blue Power Ranger since his Batman costume was "itchy".

It was a beautiful day so we walked over to the park after trick or treating.

Then we had to head home for some fall cleanup. While we were raking leaves (ok, Mom did most of the work followed by Sam but I was there!),  a hot air balloon came right over our house! Sam and I were thrilled and both took pictures of it, waved to it, etc.

Fun weekend!

Joey turns 7!!

I am officially a 7 year old! I had a great day. Daddy brought me lunch at school (McDonald's) and ate with me and my class. After school we picked Mommy up at work and went to supper and then to Chuck E Cheese! 

They had some new games since the last time we went. 

This one was there last time, but the next pictures are of new ones.

We had my birthday party on Saturday. Sam got some cones so he set those up to block off the present opening section.

We had a Darth Vader piñata and Matthew and Allie came over to do this part!

Sam was peeking on his turn...

Once us kids got part of it open, we let the other birthday boy, Uncle Jay, take the final swing to get all the candy out!

Mommy attempted a group shot, which proved to be difficult!

Back inside for my Star Wars cake...It was vanilla cake with cheesecake mousse filling and peanut butter cups inside. I chose all the parts of it. It was a good cake!

Baby Maebel was there. I got to hold her and talk to her a little bit.

I joined Cub Scouts and we went on Monday to get my uniform. I'm a Tiger!

P.S. anyone want to buy some popcorn!?

Finally, an update!

We took way too long on updating the blog so we have a LOT to share!

First up was my Westside Wildcats Fun Run.

I was kind of disappointed because I did 2 less laps than last year, but Mommy thought that maybe the time was a little shorter because I stopped at the water table less this year compared to last year and ran for a lot of the time. Mommy helped at the water table this year. Daddy was with Sam at his school being snack helper.

After the Fun Run, Mommy got to go spend some time with Maebel and Uncle Jay and Aunt Amanda. Maebel is such a good little baby!

Speaking of which, I got to see her again and hold her! She is my favorite and I love holding her!

We took her for a walk to show her my school. Sam led the way on his bike!

I have gotten much better at the monkey bars. I can go all the way across this set!

Back at the house and relaxing holding Maebel. Sam decided to lay there so that he would catch Maebel if she fell :)

Sam has been busy working on a hole outside. This was Mommy's view while she was doing dishes the one night...

Daddy took both of us to Pumpkins in the Park this year since I didn't have school. Sam wouldn't cooperate for pictures so most of these are of me!

Look at the cool spider and web I got painted on my face. We decorated pumpkins, did a pumpkin rolling contest, ate pizza and more!

We got to see Maebel another weekend, and I had a little cold so Mommy wouldn't let me hold or touch Maebel. Sam made his puppy talk to her, and we almost got little smiles out of Maebel.

Sam helped Grandpa pick up the walnuts that had fallen in the yard.

Here's Maebel ready to go home. Isn't she CUTE?!

We went to the Monroe Fire Station pancake breakfast. After eating, we got to go on a fire truck ride! This was my second time on a fire truck but was Sam's first! He seemed to enjoy it :)

I took a field trip with my class to Schuster's Farm. Mommy chaperoned, and we had a great time. Cooper and Zaharia were in our group.

Here I am petting a bunny...

Cooper and I on the hayride. It was really windy (and I needed a haircut).

We got to do a little corn maze. This was the first time I had been in one of those, and they had 5 bird pictures that you had to try to find. We were so happy because we found all 5!

I saw Matthew and Allie during free time play so Mommy got a picture of Allie and I on the big chair!

Playing with Matthew on the tires...

 We attempted a class picture, but had trouble getting everyone to be still and look at the camera. This was one of the better ones :)

I did Lego Club again this month. This month I worked on a project with 2 other boys. One was too shy to be in the picture, so here I am with one of them!

Sunday we made our rounds to a couple apple orchards/pumpkin patches. Here I am at Oakwood...

At Peck's we did the train ride. Here was Mommy's first attempt at Daddy and Sam's side... hmmm

Here is Mommy and my side :)

A little better!

We have been enjoying Fall so far. Next up is my birthday!!
