halloween

this year for halloween matthew went as buzz lightyear, he is obsessed with toy story he was so excited when he got his costume he had to put the whole thing on and go across the hall to show grandma and grandpa, then almost everyday till halloween he would wear his buzz wings and run around the apartment saying "to infiniti and beyond" or " buzz lightyear to the rescue" he and ryan had so much fun at the trunk or treat just chasing eachother around i dont know that they would have even cared to go trick or treating, amy and i had to practically drag them out of the church from playing:) jacob was as cute as can be as a monkey this year he didnt really care either way about halloween but i found this costume and of course had to dress him up:)

I cannot believe how big both my boys are getting! they are so fun and keep me busy allllll day long. Jacob is about to cut his first tooth anyday now and we are hoping that is soon so he goes back to his happy self. He loves his brother soooo much and matt can always make him smile. matt is always full of energy and fun we love him and he loves to help.

just some fun videos of the boys

New York

Well we are finally in New York, well we have been here for several weeks but i'm just now posting:) the first pictures are from wickham farms it is a pumpkin patch that has all sorts of cool things for the kids to do matt had a blast and jacob well he didnt care much either way. i cant believe how big my boys are getting. matt loves his brother and visa versa jacob will be screaming ( he is teething) and matt will walk into the room and "check on him" and jacob will be as happy as can be. it is starting to get cool here we are lucky when we have low 60's matt is going crazy being stuck in a little apartment cause it's been raining but on nice days we can go and get his energy out. the last picture is from the lake on the first week we were here all matt wanted to do was go swimming or go back to the lake and throw rocks in. more pictures to come.
