Cole's Book Club Birthday

Mateo is in that stage where he wants to do what the big kids are doing. Ellie came with Cole for his bookclub birthday party...and they were dancing, jumping fools!!

Cole always brings his portable DVD player...they were watching Meet the Robinsons...well, at least Cole was watching.

Cole turned six on November 18th...he loves book club presents. We celebrated at Aunty Teresa's house...which has become a ritual for his birthday. And as a special Cole birthday present...Aunty Kristi came from Salt Lake City to celebrate.
Mateo enjoyed visiting with all the Aunties...here is Aunty Natalie.
Aunty Kristi & I got Cole the game Operation for his birthday...first let me say they have changed the buzzer since I used to play it...it is not so loud. That said, however, it is just as annoying when you go on and on and on...

We jumped a quick plane home and had enough time to do one load of laundry and then we were off to North Idaho to see Papa for Thanksgiving. Those pictures will come in a couple of days. We had a very good time...and are excited that Papa will be coming in just 3 weeks to celebrate Mateo's birthday with us.

Hope all is well for you and yours...Sarah

So I have not been very good about getting photos up lately, so this is one of those days when I will load like 3 blogs worth...

These are precious shots of Mateo being a big boy wearing Mama's slippers...

and all dressed up at Uncle John Miller's funeral dinner. This will also be the Christmas outfit this year!

And then cousin NeNe (Nathan) might be the cutest blonde kid I have ever seen.

The cutest costumes in Silverton...

First of all, our apologies to the Petrik kids, who were the cutest Minnie Mouse and Spiderman we had ever seen...but we forgot to catch them in action.

Lily Kelley AKA Bat Woman

Maggie Kelley AKA Princess Mags

Maddie Broyhill AKA Dr. B

Andrew & Kate Fronza AKA Big Bad Wolf & Grandma

Lucy Fronza AKA Little Red Riding Hood

Pudding and Halloween

Mateo has found pudding...and he loves chocolate. Could you guess??



So I am finally getting around to posting the pictures from Halloween...Mateo had a blast and is still enjoying treats from his pumpkin. We had a costume fiasco...the monkey one Matt bought was too small...so he found this dalmation get-up on Halloween morning. We celebrated at Nona's so that we could actually have some trick or treaters. We gave out almost 100 full-size candy bars!!



Hope all is well with you and yours.

Hugs, Sarah & Matt & Mateo
