Fun...fun...fun in the leaves
The kids absolutely loved playing in the Fall leaves. Brody was so good with Camilla and was very careful to NOT jump on her head.
Halloween
This year for Halloween we decided to do things different and make our costumes. Elena had this grand idea and made Camilla a black widow spider using the Bjorn and she was the wall with cob webs. We used tights for her other legs. Brody was a stick figure and I was Ronald Weasley again.
We had a few minor glitches with Brody’s costume. The first run through we used glow sticks with tape. That idea soon was disaster because anyone who knows Brody will attest that the boy cannot sit or stand still for longer than 2.1 seconds. So for the second run around we used silver reflective tape. It was a success!!! Overall we had a blast for Halloween and Brody loved running around saying,”trick or treat!!!”

Take time...
In life, it is always important to stop and take time to smell the flowers. UNLESS you are covered with 2 feet of snow and the only way you can smell flowers is to drive to a grocery store or flower shop, and you can't do that because your car won't start because of the snow and the fact that it is 20 degrees below zero. Otherwise you will have to wait for the Spring.
Random FUN!!
Kids grow too fast.
Thought you all might enjoy some random fun AND adorable pictures of our kids that we have taken in random fun places.

Hot Air Balloon FUN!!
September 4-6, 2010...Labor Day Weekend.
For Labor day weekend here in Colorado Springs they have this awesome tradition for flying hot air balloons. We decided to join in the fun and went balloon chasing. Janette, Eric and the girls were doing the same thing when they found a balloon owner allowing the children to go for a ride. Brody had a blast riding in a balloon while it was tethered.
At night, they have a balloon glow. It was sweet to see all the balloons up and glowing in the dark. There were thousands of people crammed into Memorial Park that night. People were stacked on top of each other. It was amazing.
