Happy Halloween...

Happy Halloween!!  This was Breckan's first Halloween.  He had a little pumpkin outfit with a cute pumpkin bib.  Ethan was a Ninja and Tristan was Batman.  Ethan and Tristan both had Halloween parties at school that they dressed up for.  I picked them up after school and we stopped by the bank to say hi to Auntie Darci and got some goodies there and had the boys' pictures taken too.  Then we headed to Bismarck to Dad's work at the armory where they had it all decorated and had crafts and snacks.  The boys got to walk through all the decorated halls and rooms and trick or treated as they did.  Then we stopped at Chance and Kristen's and Breckan and I stayed and visited while Dad, Uncle Chance, Ethan and Tristan went out trick or treating around the area.  They got LOTS of candy.  Dad and Uncle Chance even dressed up for awhile with the boys.

The Batcave at the armory.  Tristan was scared of the Joker.
He wouldn't go through until I held his hand.

Feeling the stuff inside the pumpkins that was eyes and all sorts of stuff. 
Tristan wasn't about to stick his hand in any pumpkin though.

Playing Around With Brother...

When Ethan got home from school he was playing around with Breckan.  He was lifting his arms up saying yay Ethan and when he'd let go Breckan kept his hands up so he was giggling like crazy that he was cheering for him so he wanted a picture of it. 

Breckan (Three Weeks)...

Breckan is three weeks old already.  He now weighs 9lbs 1.8oz and is 21 1/4 inches long.  He is growing, growing, growing.  He is such a sweet little guy.  He's been getting up lately at night more so hoping we can change that because it's making for some very sleepless nights for Mom and Dad.  Other than that he is a very good baby.  He sleeps a lot still and usually only cries when he is hungry.  When he is awake he is very alert and looking all around.  He loves to be held and to be wrapped up tight in his blanket.  The boys can't get enough of him and love giving him kisses and hugs all the time and holding him and talking to him whenever they can.  He's drinking between 3 - 4 oz per feeding now. 

Halloween Crafts...

The boys wanted to do some Halloween crafts.  They made some pumpkins, bats, cats, spiders, and ghosts.  We'll have to hang them up around the house now.  They can't wait for Halloween to get here.  Originally Ethan was going to be Darth Vadar and Tristan was going to be Batman, but at the last time I heard, Ethan will be a Ninja and Tristan will be Spiderman.  So stay tuned to see what the final decisions are for the boys. :)  Good thing they have LOTS of costumes in this house that they can choose from so I didn't even have to worry about buying anything this year.

First Bath in the Little Bath Tub...

Breckan had his first bath in the little bath tub tonight.  He wasn't so sure right away but after he was in he was ok.  The boys were super, super excited to get to help.  They've been waiting for him to get to have an actual bath.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures...

Here are some pictures of Breckan from the last week or so.  Lots to choose from all the time. :)  The weeks are flying by.

Happy Birthday Grandma Carol...

Happy Birthday Grandma Carol!!  Her birthday was actually Tuesday but we did her cake and presents on the weekend since we went down to the farm hunting and to hang out.

Ethan's New Four Wheeler...

Dad decided that Ethan was ready for a bigger four wheeler so one day, this little yellow four wheeler showed up.  He's pretty excited about it.  Dad says he does a good job driving it so far.  They went out riding together a lot already.  We took it with to the farm too while Dad went hunting.  He gave Grandma Carol a ride and Tristan along with them at the farm too.   They took it with to Zeeland the same weekend too and went riding.

Visit From the Danielsons...

Jen and the girls came out to visit us.  The kids had fun playing while we visited.  We went down to check on them and they were playing football. :)  They had some popsicles and then we got a picture of them all together.  They boys really liked playing and are wondering when the girls can come back and play again.  Thanks for coming out to visit!

Beautiful quilt that Jen made for Breckan.  It has his name and birthday on it also.

Strong Little Boy (Breckan Two Weeks)...

Little Breckan is two weeks old today already!!  I cannot believe how fast the time goes.  He is a strong little boy.  He tries to hold his head up whenever he can like below.  He had his head up even further but my camera wasn't taking the picture fast enough.  He wiggles around so much even just laying there that I don't trust laying him alone even right now.  He sure is a strong one.  He has been a very good baby for us.  He pretty much cries when he is hungry and is still sleeping quite a bit.  But when he is awake, he is very bright eyed with wide eyes and seems to look all around.  The boys absolutely love him!  They want to hold him whenever they can and Tristan is my little helper with him especially.  He loves doing anything he can to help with him.  They sure are good with him.

Sunday Visitors...

Sunday Grandma Vivian and Papa Tony came up to visit.  The boys had a lot of fun playing games on the Ipad and playing Zingo and Bingo too with them and just visiting.  Rashad, Tony and the boys took out the dock and lifts too that Rashad had put up against the wall and needed a little extra help lifting them all the way out.  We had cupcakes and ice cream too to celebrate their birthdays from last month yet since we didn't see them on their birthdays.

Breckan Funny...

The boys got quite a kick out of the way that Breckan was covering his face with his hand like this. They figured he was saying oi, ya yoi (not sure how you'd spell that out :) ).  They giggled for the longest time over this.

Sweet Little Boy...

The Boys...

Some pictures of the boys from the last few days.  First one is of Tristan and Ethan playing with Breckan in his bouncer.  They were having quite the conversation with the little animals.  Next one is of Ethan feeding Breckan for the first time.  Third is Tristan feeding Breckan for the first time.  They were very excited about getting to feed him.  The last one is Breckan just relaxing.
