"Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero." ~Marc Brown

Now that halloween's over and the holidays are near, we've been thinking about Christmas. I asked Mason what he wanted Santa to bring him, and he said a four wheeler, motorcycle (surprise, surprise), and rocks to throw in the river. Corbin said, "Mason, Santa's not going to bring you rocks - he can't bend over to pick them up because of his belly!"

The other day we were driving past a factory with steam pouring out of it, and Corbin pointed it out to Mason and said, "Look, Mason, that's where they make the clouds!"

Snow!

Hmmmmm....do they have snow tires for these?

Watch out, Dori!

This is Mason chowing down on his snowman!

The dogs were as excited to play in the snow as the kids!

She won't fetch, but she'll catch snowballs all day!

Happy Halloween!

Corbin's expression is worth a thousand words!

That top pumpkin looked just like Corbin!

Corbin drew his pumpkin face all by himself!

Caden came and went trick or treating with the boys. The neighbor kids were so jealous of his transformer costume!

All mine!!!!

Scott showed the boys the real purpose for candy bars...motorcycle jumping, of course!

Gardener Village

Kim and I took the kids to Arctic Circle on the way to see the witches at Gardener Village - I think that was the highlight of their outing! The boys have so much fun with Boston!

The boys were happy to pose for pictures, as long as they got to keep their suckers!

It's Party Time!

"Trunk or Treat!"

Corbin wanted to be a spider this year, and Mason wanted to be whatever Corbin was, so they had matching costumes.

Where's your costume, Steve?:)

Corbin's School Party

The kids sang us some spooky songs

Mason was so excited to get to be in Corbin's class with him after the program!

Mason and Corbin were the only volunteers to pull out the pumpkin goo!

Caden's back!

We were so excited to have Caden come back for a couple of days during UEA break!


Mason's taking time to stop and smell the roses (or in this case, marigolds!)


Now that's teamwork! Cookies, anyone?


I love this picture, because it shows how much Mason adores Caden! Good thing he's a great example!



The Scarecrow Festival


When I asked Mason what he liked the best, he said it was riding the monster truck with Caden

Caden can throw a baseball at 40 mph! Wow!

Corbin clocked at 20 mph.

Mason threw 25 mph - he's built up his arm strength beating on Corbin!

Think he made that shot?:)

Caden zipped to the top so fast I didn't have time to get a picture before he was on his way down!

Mason finally got his train ride!

Mason didn't want to go in the fun house, but the boys entertained him through the windows!

Mason and Corbin found another opportunity to get super dirty!

Mmmmm...dirt!
