HALLOWEEN

Today was quite the adventure. My mom took the kids to get pictures done in their Halloween costumes. I am amazed we ended up with some great pictures having 3 kids on 3 different schedules. Poor Ashton aka Frankenstein is teething and had a rough night last night. He was definatley a trooper thru pictures today. The kids did a great job and the pictures are so fun. Thanks mom for capturing the memories, we love you!

Fall Family Pictures

This weekend we we up above Mark's parents house and took some family pictures. You would think the 6 month old baby would have been the difficult one to get a good picture out of. Our dog Bronco actually saw a deer right as got out of the truck. Needless to say his attention was elsewhere for most of our pictures. We did end up with some great family pictures though despite the deer. A huge thanks to Mark's dad for taking such beautiful pictures.

SIX MONTHS

I can't believe Zac is 6 months old. Where does the time go? He has changed so much since the day we brought him home. He is almost always happy and has brought so much joy into our home. We are so lucky to be his parents. Right now Zac is rolling around like crazy. The only time he sits still is when he is asleep. He loves to hear his own voice. We realize just how loud he really is when we are in church and he starts screeching at the top of his lungs. He loves to chew and bang on his toys. The more noise he can make the better. A few weeks ago his first two teeth poked thru on the bottom. Other than the excessive drooling we had no idea he was teething. This kid is definately a champ. This week was his 6 month check up. He got 3 shots and didn't even shed a tear. Definately tougher than his mom! Below are a few pictures of Zac over the last 6 months. We love him and are so glad he came to live with us.

6 MONTH STATS:

Weight: 16 lbs 14 oz (45%)

Height: 28 inches (92%)

Head: 16.75 inches (15%)

TIMBER

This weekend was a sad weekend. My family dog of 13+ years was put down. It seems like we have had Timber forever. He was the best dog and friend anyone could ask for. Always there to love you no matter what. He will be missed. Its funny how your pets truly do become a huge part of your family. We love Timber and will never forget what a great dog he was.
