Daily stroll....

Everyday we try to take a walk around our neighborhood. The kids love getting out...and Mom needs the exercise. It's nice to see nature, the trees are starting to change, different flowers are blooming and we can say Hi to our neighbors. Well, this particular day was too cute. Jake decided he needed to wear 'Safety' gloves & glasses. I guess he takes after his Dad...
'Safety First'. 
Gotta wear my gloves and glasses...Safety First! 

Sophie loves riding in her little buggy...

Just cruisin'...

Um...Jake...are we stuck? 

I can't wait to drive! 
I was trying to capture a shot of Sophie in the buggy. I have the same picture of  Jake in this very same buggy at the same age...but I can't find it. But, once I do...I'll have to post it. Kids...they are so much fun...a pain in the rear sometimes...bring so much love into your life...and keep life interesting. Until our next stroll...

Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 

We had a fun-filled Halloween weekend. We went to the Rio Grande zoo for ZOO BOO! Which was not worth it at all. It was very disorganized, tons of people, you had to wait in lines for everything, even to exit the park. We should have skipped it and just went to Old Town. That was nice, fun and relaxing. Not so many people, all the stores were giving out candy. Even the ice-cream shop gave out free ice-cream cones. And, finally...HALLOWEEN, we went to Hunington's for some pizza and tasty treats and then we all went trick-or-treating. We had a big group running from house to house, that was fun! Jake, yelled..."Trick or treat, smell my feet, gimme something good to eat" at almost every house...it was cute! You guys got so much candy. We got home and still had trick or treaters for awhile...when the doorbell would ring, Jake would yell, "more customers!". 
Jake came up with some pretty crazy poses in his Dark Knight costume! 

Jake found his gun from his Woody costume last year. Let's just say he shot it so many times...we made him take it over to Pa & Coco's.

And, that's it...Halloween's over, until next year....
Halloween is so much fun with kids. I loved dressing them up...decorating our house, watching the Halloween cartoon specials and getting tons of candy! Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween! Now, let's get ready for Turkey day!
