Veteran's Day

The boys got full camo gear...Lucy got a new kitchen and a princess dress in honor of Veteran's Day.
Harvey is a man's man through and through. He loved every second of dressing up like his big bro.
Lucy Jerilou Jones...what can you say? She changed her name to Cinderella that day and would respond to nothing else.
Where did Max and Harvey go? This picture was immediately followed by a game of hide and seek which Max was convinced that nobody would be able to see him even if he was in the middle of the room....aw to be invisible!

Halloween...better late than never

Max and his buddy Arthur were the coolest skeletons in town!
We can't go trick or treating without Grandma and Grandpa!
This is a highlight from our Halloween party...one of the many games...pin the collar on the priest. We had loads of fun! The camera pooped out and I didn't get any good pictures, but we had tons of fun with 16 kids and their parents whooping it up in good Catholic style.
Here's our skeleton, dragon, and Jack O' Lantern assessing their candy at the end of it all. And yes, Lucy is double fisting lollipops...only on HALLOWEEN!

Visitors from the East

Evan's brother Andrew and his family visited us mid October. We had the world's greatest time! Here's some pictures from our trip to the Washington Coast.
Grandpa Chris taught the kids about "ocean power"
Lucy and Agatha very seriously made "juice" yum yum
Harvey and Evan
The freezing survivors of the rogue wave.
Toddler paradise
Max was in charge of decorating the sand castle
Beautiful Mary B
Not quite the beach, but it will do in a pinch!
Andrew, Sarah, Mary, Agatha, and baby on the way....we love you so much!! Max decided yesterday that we should move to St. Louis "because we don't get to see Mary and Agatha enough." Evan and I asked him if he would miss Grandma and Grandpa to much if we moved to St. Louis. He said, "Sure I would!" "When we've seen enough of them, we can move to Yynden!"

Cousins

All my sisters in law are PREGNANT! How many people can say that? We have no shortage of cousins around here. Evan and I have been blessed with five nieces and one nephew in the last four years with three more on the way!! With our three that makes a whopping 12! Here they all are, with the exception of Mr. Oliver William. We miss you Oli Bill!
Mary, Agatha, Harvey, Max and Lucy
These are our sweet cousins from St. Louis.
Lucy, Aliyah, Grace, Brianna, and Max
These are our adorably, rambunctious cousins from Tacoma. Never a dull moment with the Newton girls!
