my little skeleton & pirate

Okay so it was halloween, and i love halloween.

i love dressing up and having sweets and well especially dressing the boys.
This year i found the best pirate costume for Elias, everywhere we went people were laughing at how cute he looked, especially with his sweet gold earring, ya that was my favorite part too. He was saying ARRRGG all week and especially loved that he got to have a sword too.
And then i happened upon this cute skeleton sleeper for Nixon, and didnt realize until after i bought it that they would totally be matching for halloween, and well you know anything that can make a picture cuter is right up my alley. (:
This year the boys got to dress up 3 times, which was pretty fun. We had a little kids church party, then a sweet halloween party by krysytn and laura, i swear krystyn should hire out for parties she did so awesome! And then trick or treating come saturday... all in all awesome halloween. I seriosuly can't wait until we are done school and i can have a sweet adult halloween party and get some fabulous decor.

So on with the pictures...

could quite possibly be my favorite picture ever!

gotta love this.

and of course a group pic

Elias & Greta (the cutest bumblebee ever)

and off to trick& treat..finally!!!

Go Blades Go!!

So we love hockey in our family and have been meaning to take Elias to a blades game in a long time.

Finally we decided to go and my cousin Tyler was playing for the opposing team, the Blazers as well.
We took Jost, Elias' little buddy and Dustin and Julia came as well.

Jost and Elias had SOOO much fun, they got sweet blades tattoos and makeup put on, they looked so cute.
They had fun cheering up the blades and eating popcorn.

We had to leave earlier cuz the boys got too tired, but overall it was fun to get out as a family, i know Elias is eager to start hockey and if its up to Jer he will be playing much to my dismay.

cheering on the blades!!

their sweet tattoos

Nixon, Jeremy and my cousin Julia

Yelling for the blades, they were sooo LOUD!

at last but not least this SWEET pic of Jost, who knows what he was doing..haha

Catchup... part 1

So okay i know, sometimes i blog like 3 times a week, but for the most part it seems that i am always behind on blogging and yet again here we are.
So some pics and highlights of the Dental Banquet that was like almost a month ago.. i know, i know

I for sure wanted to post this time since it was our LAST dental banquet if you can believe it and it was also more special because Jeremy and Dyck were the MC's for the night.
It was alot of fun and the guys did such a good job, i was actually surprised at how much i laughed and people kept telling me all night that they didnt know Jeremy was that funny, well i didnt either..jks.

The wives club..haha

jeremy & dyck doing a fine MC job

the ladies...

the fellas..

Jeremy's soon to be Class of 2010

These pics are officially for my sister Renae, i knew she would get a good laugh out of my nerdy dance moves.

Besides the delicious meal and the great MC job by the guys, we ended the night off with some much needed dance moves on the dance floor. seriously i love to dance, it was so fun being silly and dancing it up with Karen, Krystyn & Dyck and also Ronna and Heather jumped in too.. it was really good to get out and get all dressed up.

Going Private!!..Leave your Email Please!!!

So since the summer i have been meaning to make our blog private. To me its more of a online family journal that eventually i want to make into a book. I used to scrapbook but who has time for that..so this is my scrapbook.. and i find myself posting more and more personal info, pictures and memories from our life that i dont just want anyone on the web to see.

So Please leave your email address in the comments so i can invite you to our blog.

Thanks!   Rachelle :)

Also I couldn't help myself and had to post some pics of the boys. I totally forgot about these photos, i did a small photoshoot of the boys right before we were headed out to Alberta for a few weeks back when Nixon was 3 mths old.. i cant believe he is more than doubled that now.. but anyways here are a few that i happened to get..

Nixon these days..and Can you spot the difference??

Well Nixon is growing so much these days, he will be 7 mths in 1.5 wks and this month he has had so many new things happen:

1st solids, rolling like a maniac all over the place, sitting up on his own, he even cut his first 2 bottom teeth this week and has been keeping me up all night between teething and being sick, poor little guy.

aww makes me sad to see him growing so fast, i almost need another one already....haha got ya!

Honestly i think he will be crawling soon, next month i swear.  He just LOVES his tummyso much, as soon as you put him on his back he just flips right over and cant keep still, he even trys to flip over in his car seat its pretty funny. He has even tried getting his knees up under himself and scoot alittle so i think he will be crawling soon. YIKES.. i am in for it. hopefully not though, knock on wood.. Elias didnt crawl until 10.5mths so i was lucky.. heres to hoping.

Heres some pics of his 1sts over this last month:

i just LOVE this pic, his eyes, his little smirk..

shirtless, the best, loving the little man boobs

man, does he LOVE the jolly jumper

for real, this is how he falls asleep, cuddling his little horse

i thought this pic was so funny.. classic pic of Nixon

loves playing in the tub

sitting up like a big boy.. he's becoming a pro now.

And lastly, Can you spot the difference??

                          Elias at 4mths                                                          Nixon at 6mths  

I sure can! I think for sure the biggest difference is that they both look so different, especially their stature.. just look at how much tightier that sleeper is on Elias and this is a 12mth sleeper from Costco.. we just make our boys big & tall! And also check out that head on Elias, why oh why could i have not had Nixon's head for my 1st baby..oh, just thinking about it..ouch!

But the one very similar thing about the two is how happy and easy going babies they have both been, Elias was always smiling all the time, and well we all know that Nixon never stops. Elias was a better sleeper, and Nixon is more of a mommas boy and a big cuddler.

It was so fun to come across this pic of Elias the other day and realize i had one of Nixon too.
