Baby bro

They all love to hold little Knox... well, Lincoln kinda likes to smack him, too.

Helfert-Huggins wedding

The weather and scenery couldn't have been more perfect for my sister's wedding in Clearwater. Emma was a flower girl and Reese was a ring bearer and they both did super as they made their half-mile trek along the sand from the hotel to the wedding (no joke- the beach was huge!). Thanks, Kara and Chris, for letting us be a part of your special day!

A Disney Birthday!

We were already heading to Florida for my sister's wedding, so we made a trip of it. We started at Downtown Disney for birthday dinner at the T-Rex Cafe (which Reese was terrified of... then loved) and shopping. The next morning, we headed to Magic Kingdom. Turns out you get into Disney World for FREE on your birthday! Just print out a certificate, bring your birth certificate and no more $75 ticket! Anyway, Lincoln got to experience Downtown Disney, but we left him at the condo with Grammie for Magic Kingdom. We packed as much into one day as we could and the kids totally loved it all. Can't wait to go back when they're a little older. I took so many pictures (on the last day before my camera got swept into the ocean)... but here are a few highlights!

Birthday at school

At preschool, they celebrate each kiddo by letting a parent come in to read books to the class. I got that honor (and, wow, do I have a new appreciation for preschool teachers!) :)

Trick-or-Treat

This year, Emma was Super Girl, Reese was a shark, and Lincoln was THE dinosaur.

A few notes:

After bidding on a shark costume on Ebay that went up to over $30, I happened upon the DOG costumes at Target for only $10!!! They are perfect for kids under 4... who cares if there are random ear holes? I will definitely be hittin that aisle up again next year!

The dinosaur costume from Once Upon a Child that I spent $4 on was the best $4 I ever spent. :)

Happy Birthday, Shark Boy!

Since we would be at DISNEY WORLD (!) for Reese's actual big day, we had a shark party the previous week to celebrate (and to use the awesome shark party stuff I got on Ebay) with a few family and friends. In case you are curious, he'll be having a snake party next year. It's good to plan ahead.

Apples 'n Punkins

We decided with the Fall upon us, it was time to hit up the apple orchard/pumpkin patch. It was totally freezing (Josh's worst nightmare), but the rest of us had fun. :)
