Trick or Treat

Brandon decided to wear his pj's for trick or treating instead of the spider costume. They were so cute, glowed in the dark and everything!
One of our neighbors puts on Tomb Town every year, and best of all, the proceeds go to the Tucson Food Bank!! I think this was Brandon's favorite part of the night.
Brandon caught on to the goal of going door to door after a few houses, but he still wouldn't say "trick or treat" and didn't seem too sure about taking candy from strangers. Mason wasn't too sure what we were doing, but he was a good sport about it!

Just about ready to be done with halloween. He was a trooper and stayed awake for the two hours we spent walking around the neighborhood.

Halloween at Grandma Diane's

Our attempt at getting a picture with mommy...Brandon has a difficult time standing still and smiling simultaneously.
Mason eyeing the sandbox at Grandma Diane's.
Brandon decided, last minute, that he wanted to be to a spider (despite the Buzz Light Year costume I already had for him), so thanks to Walmart for my last minute purchase.

Brandon let me rock him to sleep after a hard day of playing at grandma's.

Who me?

Adorable
I caught Mason on top of the table, looking through the target bags. He managed to climb up there all by himself, much to my surprise.
Aren't I too cute?

Look at us....loving our chairs.

Mason finally walks!!!

After thinking Mason would never do more than shuffle on his knees, he decided to give walking a try.

Good times!

Here's a video from a few weeks ago of Brandon making Mason giggle.

0' dark thirty

For the past three mornings, Mason has decided the four o'clock hour is the best time of day, especially if he can share this time with Mommy!!! Brandon decided to join the fun this am, so we made pancakes and watched the sun rise together.
Just for the record, I miss sleep!

Pumpkin Pickin 2011

This year found us at a new farm for our annual pumpkin pickin' adventure. We went to the Marana Farm with Grandma Diane and Great-Grandma. It was great, close to home and definitely family oriented (petting zoo, jumping pillow, straw maze, and sand-box!! We started this tradition while Kevin and I were dating (with Brian, Peggy, and Easton) in 2003 at the farms in Willcox (Apple Anne's) and most years since, but last year we were at Agua Linda farms (I delivered Mason two days later). Apple Anne's is still my favorite! Mason's first time at the pumpkin patch!!!
