Halloween & Birthday Fun

Its hard turning 6 on Halloween, so many things to keep us busy. This is Dillon at 2:00 in the afternoon laying in my bed watching a movie. Gearing up for trick or treating I guess!

We have superheros covered....and animals too.


Yes, his faces are telling us exactly how he feels about being in a costume. You can click on the bottom picture to get a better look at that "poor me, this is the worst thing in the world, how could you do this to me?" pouty lip :)

(Entertaining thier baby brother is top priority)

The First Snow!

We had our first little bit of snow on Saturday morning, we certainly live in Bend don't we? The boys couldn't wait to get outside, check out the crazy morning hair!
Carter gets really upset when his fingers get too cold....
Brayden had a blast wondering what all this white stuff was, he is saying "Oooohhh!" in this picture. Just like in the valley, all the snow was gone by the afternoon.

Sparks Lake

We took a little drive out on the Cascade Lakes Highway yesterday and stopped at Sparks Lake just past Mt. Bachelor. It had been snowing up there but turned to rain when we got to the lake. We were total lightweights and only stayed out of the car for 10 minutes - it was sooo cold! Dillon always appreciates a good view over a lake or river.
On our way back from the freezing mountains and lake we decided to drive through Sunriver and took some pictures of a few deer grazing and play fighting near the 14th par on a golf course. It was quite fun watching them play fight, they were having a great time!
Brady has found a new love for books (especially if they have "P-fffishies" in them) and a little stuffed animal beagle that looks exactly like Maddy, its his very own "goggie".
Ok, so I made some toast and sprinkled a little cinnamon and sugar on top for one of the boys who often share tidbits with Brayden. He apparently liked it so much that when they were done with the toast he stole the plate off the table, ditched the two binkies behind him, and licked the plate :)

Pilot Butte

From the top of the Butte, our house is somewhere in the middle of this picture. Off the street shown, we are just "right" of the street and just "right" of a red colored bush/tree - who ever finds it first wins money!!! Just kidding :) The picture above is Brayden trying to keep up with his brothers, its serious business.

This is the view of Pilot Butte right off our street
View from the top...I just love living here!
Another view from the top
Who cares about the view....let run and scream and play and slightly disrupt everyone elses peaceful meditative time....boys, oh boys. Gotta love 'em.
