Halloween and More....

The last couple weeks have been very funfilled and crazy for us! So, that is why this post is sooo long. But, hope you enjoy all the pics. We have hit many milestones and just had some fun.
Below is a picture of some blocks.
Oh the power of blocks! We bought Zoey these blocks to use them as a potty training tool. Let me just say it worked very well. Each time she would go on the potty she would get a block. One block for pee and two blocks for poop. Zoey has basically been trained for a while, but as soon as Colston was here she insisted on wearing diapers and could care less about going in the potty. So, that is why we decided to do it this way. I highly recommend this tool for any of you out there trying to potty train. Now I am happy to say she is completely potty trained and loves to wear her big girl panties! Hooray!

Above is Zoey and colston just hanging out on our bed. Every morning Zoey comes in our room and watches cartoons on our bed while I feed Colston. Notice the princess underwear, she loves them. She loves to get her picture taken with her little brother.


All smiles.


Colston has smiling since day one. He has been smiling at us for the past month I would say. He loves to be talked to and tries so hard to talk back to you. This morning he has done very well at talking back and making all kinds of sounds. He is already so smart for a 2 month old!
The following pics are from Gardner Village.

Here is Zoey smiling for the camera.


Colston with grandma.





Zoey loved playing by the ducks at Gardner Village. She chased them all around. She was actually in a cranky mood when we got there, but once my mom bought her a whistle and she got to play with the ducks she was all happy!




Just another pic of Zoey with Colston. He doesn't always like to be held by his sister.


Here is Zoey just wanting her pic taken, so I did. She always says, "Mom I want to take a picture."
And Last but not Least, our Halloween pics are below. They are not in order so sorry.

Here is Colston with his daddy after we went trick or treating.


Our cute little pumpkin. He was so cute. Colston is already a little chunk, so it made the costume that much cuter!


This is us before we went out the door to go trick or treating. Zoey had a blast, even though it was raining the whole time.



And here is Cory with the kids. Notice how Colston is sound asleep.

Zoey in her poodle costume.

Colston sound asleep. I sat him up for the picture thinking he would wake up but he stayed sound asleep. He is so cute!



We hope you all had a Happy Halloween!

Oh I love Halloween. Your kids look so cute. Colston sounds a lot like Jack, calm and happy. That block idea is good, we'll have to try it when the time comes.

I love Zoey's pig tails, she looks so cute. The kids look great in their customs. I'm glad that Zoey is back on track with peeing in the potty.
