Eden is really cute. We will post pictures soon. She looks just like Riley and Kaitlyn.

Crystal is doing really well. The delivery went as expected.

We can't wait to meet her in a month.

We are spending Christmas in Wichita, Kansas.

Eli making time for Kaya...

Normally Eli ignores Kaya. Today he actually took time out of his busy schedule and played with her for five minutes. I had to capture the moment. I think they are so sweet.

She has the cutest hands and feet. Recently she has discovered that she can suck on her hands. It is her new favorite past time. When I am driving I hear slurp, slurp, slurp from the backseat.

I can't believe it has already been four months.

Our Smiler

Kaya is such a happy girl.
She smiles all day long and at practically everything.

She even smiles with her pacifier in.

Trick or Treat

Me and my Bumblebees

Eli Trick or Treating with Daddy

Eli had to refuel half way through.

Apparently he really likes Hershey Bars.

Eli and Daddy

Eli went trick or treating with his friends Logan, Aidan, and Emily.

Kaya went Trick or Treating but she slept most of the time.

Pretty Scary!

Buzzz...Happy Halloween!

Eli and Kaya were both Bumble Bees for Halloween. Eli loves Bumble Bees and thought it was fun to be one for a day. He asked me to put it on in the morning and didn't even object to the hood.

I'll post Eli's Trick or Trick pictures later. It's the first year we are taking him. I think he will have a lot of fun.

Camping at R- Ranch

Last weekend we were invited to go camping at R- Ranch in the Sequoias with our friends the Jones and Meeks families. The weather was perfect and we had a really fun time. Here are some pictures.

Eli loved this huge tree outside our cabin. I don't know why but he would have played by it for hours if we had let him.

The Deer would get pretty close if you fed them. After seeing deer run into the woods behind our cabin Eli kept saying "Deer, where are you?"

They had lots of horses for the kids to pet, ride, and feed. I actually rode a horse for the first time. I will post pictures later.

Eli loved playing with all the kids.

This picture of Kaya was right when we got home from camping. We had a really good time (except for all the laundry we had to do when we got home).

Dodger Playoff Game

Paul took Eli to his first Dodger game. It was the playoffs, Dodgers vs. Phillies. The Dodgers lost 5-7 but they still had fun.

Our little pumpkin patch...

Today I took pictures of Kaya in Eli's old pumpkin outfit. She is the same age he was when I took pictures of him in it. Eli is on the left and Kaya is on the right.

Eli's Pumpkin

For family night we had Eli decorate a pumpkin.

It's like a Potato Head but with a pumpkin.

He had a lot of fun.
