Hiking around Telluride, CO!

Telluride, CO is one of our favorite places in the USA! The San Juan mountain range creates quite the backdrop! We are very thankful we got to visit beautiful Telluride again.

Hot Chocolate 15K/5K

Chicago's sweeties race the Hot Chocolate 15K/5K was this past Sunday. We spent the weekend in the city and enjoyed some delicious meals, fun activities, and some good family time.

Chris and William were very supportive and got up with me very early in the morning on Sunday! It was a madhouse down there with thousands of participants.

I ran the 15K and accomplished a new personal record but as a true competitor there is always room for improvement!

Halloween 2012

This year William got to go trick-or-treating with Pamma in our neighborhood.

William the Jedi!

William was Luke Skywalker and Chris was Darth Vader! Classic!

There use to be a "Cat Lady" that lived near our neighborhood, she had too many cats and the house had to be demolished earlier this year. The neighbors put out these giant cats for Halloween! This photo was taken across the street from where the house use to be! Spooky!!!

School Halloween Party!

The school Halloween party was a total success! All the children looked adorable in there costumes! William was Luke Skywalker. He decided he wanted to be Luke Skywalker months ago when he first got into Star Wars!

The Halloween themed juice boxes I made for the party!

William, Jaxon, Joshua, and Annabelle!

Playing knights with friends!

Criss-Cross apple sauce!

After some fun crafts and a prayer it was time for snack!

After snack it was time for some more Halloween fun! They freeze danced and did some Halloween bowling!

Getting Crafty @ Home!

This Fall William and I have been keeping very busy with various DIY Fall themed crafts!

William painted big and small leaves to make a Fall leave banner and to decorate one of his pumpkins! William made the creative decision to put the leaves on the pumpkin, genius! We also made some sparkly pumpkins, they were messy and fun!

Our three eyed cutie!

He also decided to paint a mask and had fun running around the house being silly with it!

Here is a picture of Williams wonder-Fall creations!

Aloha Pony

Earlier this year while in Oahu, William got to meet this cute little horse that we called the Aloha pony.

Red, White, Blue, and Handsome!

Today William wore red, white, and blue to school in honor of this day in America. They read two stories, “Meet Our Flag” and “Old Glory’. He looked handsome on his second day of pre-K! This year he is in the butterflies’ class and goes on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays!

They also asked us to bring in a photo of William when he was a baby and I wanted to share it on the blog as well!

What a sweet little baby BOY!!!
