Happy 3rd Birthday, Caelan Rose!

How can it be that my precious baby girl is THREE already?

Caelan had gymnastics on her birthday…..she’s not into having her picture taken these days.

They get stamps every day at the end of class – on her birthday she got a birthday cake stamp!

My beautiful girl…..with her birthday sundae from Red Robin.   She did not like them singing to her at all, but the ice cream was a hit.

Friends from the Start

Before Jen and Damian moved to London in 2009, we had pictures of Brennan and Cassidy taken.

I found a local photographer offering a great deal so we decided to have another photo shoot – this time with the ‘littles’ added in.  Cassidy turned 7 on November 16th, and with Caelan turning 3 on November 26th – it seemed like a good time to document what they look like now.

This is by far my favorite of the bunch!

Happy Halloween 2013

 

Before trick-or-treating we got the neighbors together to take pictures of the alley crew before it got too dark.  Nate Maybell was also a spy, and Cassidy was ‘black widow’ which is a comic book character – she picked it because it looked like a girl spy.

Brennan carved the orange pumpkin all by himself.  Our pumpkins get pretty ‘funky’ after just 10days in the Pacific Northwest rain.  They are little slug homes of mold.

Love their funny little smiles…..

Jen decided at the last minute to dress up for Halloween and conveniently found a hub cap on the road to use as her shield.  She returned it to where she found it the next day.  (haha)

It’s a tradition to go to the neighbors house for pizza prior to trick-or-treating…..this is all the kiddos.

Green Halloween 2013

 

Way behind on updating the blog again.  I can’t sleep this morning, so now is a good time to get caught up before Caelan’s birthday tomorrow (which will result in a whole new round of pictures). 

The kids and I went to a festival in our neighborhood the Saturday prior to Halloween called “Green Halloween.” 

Brennan is a spy and Caelan is Milli from her favorite show “Team UmiZoomi.”  I had her hat knitted by a gal I met at the Issaquah Farmers Market.

They even had a trolley that ran up and down the hill to bring people to the festival.

Of course, we ran into Brennan’s buddy Nate Maybell.
