We've never been too sure what this costume really is?! It was called a "Lil' Devilett"
Payton calls it a PINK DEVIL

Trick or Treating
Trunk or Treat a few days prior
Our friends brought their PIRATE SHIP for us to ride around the neighborhood in!
Grandma and Grandpa came over that night to see the kids..
Here is Blakes BFF Trent. He is a couple weeks older than Blake. 
Seth is also one of Paytons favorite friends...
Thanks for playing!
Emily caught a shirt...and later my Mom did too!!! Some how between my parents and Heidi all fighting to catch that one, Heidi ended up on the ground getting knocked down in the process....

Looks like he's lovin the game....

Okay, for reals, WE need more players!! My sister and I are trying to put together a soccer team. It's a Women's league, and it's indoor soccer played on turf (so normal soccer cleats) We need FIVE more people!! If not you, then anyone you know???

Blake had his 4 month check up last week. I just love taking my kids to their well checks for some reason?!? The shots are no fun, but I still look so forward to these visits.
STATS:
14.1 lbs 33%
26 inches 86%
16.5 head 40%
Ok, so 33% isn't too low....but there was a little concern. When the Doctor came in and looked at the chart, her eyes got big and she had that, "oh crap" look on her face. After we talked about it while, she didn't seem AS concerned, but I guess we won't know until we go back in 2 weeks.
Three weeks ago he was in the office and he weighed 14.13, and this time he was 14.1. So, at two months he was 65%, then 55% three weeks ago, and now 33% with 0 ounces gained in 3 weeks time.
We're not sure why?? I think it was about the same time that he dropped his last bottle, and was eating 6:30 pm, then again at 6:30 am. But I did move him from 5 oz to 6 oz at the same time, so the math shows him only getting ONE less ounce for the last month than he was before. So that's probably not the reason....
He goes back in two weeks for a weight check. Per doctors orders, I am trying SO hard to feed him every 3 1/2 hours instead of 4, and trying to squeeze in one extra bottle at bedtime (like 2 hours after the previous one!). This has not been easy. He is usually asleep up until the 4 hour mark, and I am NOT good at waking sleeping babies! He's just been on such a set schedule since day one pretty much, and he's so happy and content, so I assume it's just random and he's fine. We'll see...
I just noticed that I hadn't taken pictures of him in days/weeks, so I just grabbed a shot of him sleeping earlier today. He LOVES his blankies....like all my kids have. No favorite, just give him any blanket and he'll snuggle when tired, and chew it while awake. 
My sister in law just posted this and I wanted to pass it on.
It's over 6 minutes, but it will make your day that much better!

Plus, I needed to get those nasty sorpions off the top of my page!
Meet number three:
Number one is definitely still my least favorite. I reached into my glass mug that holds my makeup brushes to get a bobby pin on the bottom, and through it I see a scorpion literally just below my finger that is in the jar! I screamed for probably 30 straight seconds. Brian thought I was seriously injured, but I was just seriously freaked out! Number two followed only a week or so later. I pulled the last shirt out of the washing machine and there he was. Fortunately dead. That was much easier on my nerves. The part that freaked me out was to think he was probably in the pile of clothes that I had just carried from my bathroom floor all the way to the laundry room a few hours prior. Once again, too close for comfort.
I went over a month with no sitings...until this afternoon I was cleaning the bathroom and there he was-peaking out from under the cabinet baseboard. (look how dirty my cabinet looks in a close up shot!-I mean-Don't LOOK!-haha)
Anyway, when I spotted this guy-I assumed he was dead. Why else was he out and about at 2 pm? (now that I see the pic, I have no clue why I assumed this!!) But his arms/legs were kinda curled up like they do when they die. Then, while still squatting down I was getting a closer look at my new friend on my LCD screen, and when I glanced back at him, he had MOVED! 
He was alive!!! But I still think he was in the process of dieing...I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a glass jar to put over him and when I got back he had moved again. 
When I put the jar over him (or maybe it was a her?) He went straight to fight mode and raised his pincher's up high and got his tail ready-it was so freaky looking. I didn't get a picture of that because I was watching him FALL over due to his dying state. We got sprayed last week so I assume he was affected. Anyway, he was on his back for a few mins before he was even able to flip back over. He was lucky enough to live out his last few hours under the glass before Brian got home to squash him to pieces....
Tonight a friend and his brother came over and we went hunting...We only found TWO! Yes, I said only. I had expected more like 10. Our yard is rather large and not landscaped. So we headed to the bank owned home next door thinking we'd hit the jackpot...And NOTHING in the back yard, but we found 3 in the same spot in front of the house. Then we found 6 in the front of the vacant home two doors down. One of which was caught in a web and was currently being eaten by a black widow. That was the highlight of the night for me. I should have brought my camera out-it was pretty cool to see, and much less creepy when they are glowing like toy..
Also, why is it that NONE of the ones we found outdoors tonight were as large as the THREE I have seen inside!!??

Tanner's games are in the late afternoon/evenings this year. It wasn't too bad. I think I was much more hot at the soccer game this morning. This is his teams second year together and they have come along way! They are so much fun to watch. Tanner loves it out there. He mostly plays defense and loves to try and get the flags. He got TWO today! His first ones in a real game!! The second time the kid sort of got knocked down in the process and look at his sad face.
He's got his eye on that flag!
Got it!
Payton and Blake love to go watch their siblings also!
His hair always looks extra blonde when he's outside.
Well, not really! That's what we call them over here. If we are ever just staying at home doing laundry or cleaning out closets, I always tell the girls we're having a "lazy day" or another phrase we use is a "play all day-day." The lazy part isn't on me (-I wish!) it's just if we're home all day that's when we're in our jammies the whole day and it usually includes a cartoon or two or three....
Anyway, it was almost noon and I just wanted OUT. We called April and she too was having a "lazy"-I mean laundry-day. We threw some clothes on the kids and met up for lunch. I was glad for some company and a chance to get out after a busy morning.
