Nicholas is 8!

We watched Nicholas for the weekend so Leonard & Denise could celebrate their 25th anniversary. When they came to pick him up on Sunday afternoon, we finally gave Nicholas his birthday present. He turned 8 on September 18th.

It is a Digital Recording Lab. :)

First, with a few simple connections, we made the red light come on. :)

Then...........with ALOT of connections............Denise & Nicholas were able to record Nicholas's voice & play it back like a robot voice! Very cool! :)

Welcoming a new cousin

After Brenden's game, we watched some of the kids over at Jeremy & Kim's house. Angela, Tiffany, Evan & Luke came later in the day. The cousins were excited to welcome Baby Luke into the bunch. :)



Justin & Baby Luke. :)

Tyler, Nicholas & Baby Luke. :)


Even Maddie was lovin' Baby Luke.......she would point to him & giggle & babble about him. :)


Nana, Maddie & Baby Luke. :)


We also went to the park for awhile because it was such a nice day. Here is Maddie on the slide. :)


Tyler at the playground. :)


Anthony & Andrew came after we got back from the playground. Andrew sure is getting big! :)

Andrew kept moving around so much........it was hard to get a good shot. :)

Jeremy holding Baby Luke while Tyler gives him a kiss. :)

Brenden's Basketball Game

Brenden started playing basketball this year. We went to his game on Saturday morning. He was pretty excited........especially that we brought his cousin, Nicholas, with us. :)

Carving a Jack-O-Lantern on Halloween.

Todd & I didn't get around to carving our Jack-o-lantern until Halloween afternoon this year.

Scoopin' out the pumpkin brains..............

............Eeeeewwwwww!
.
.
Evan was lucky enough to experience pumpkin carving twice this year. :)
We took Evan trick-or-treating this year since Baby Luke arrived 3 days earlier. We left our jack-o-lantern lit and some candy in a bowl on our patio, but it appeared that no one found our treats way back in our little circle. Oh, well................

Mini-golfing on a Friday Night............

Last Friday night, we took Evan down to Jeremy & Kim's house to take the boys on the long awaited mini-golfing trip from way back in March when we watched them & JD was sick so we couldn't go...............

First, some of the kids wanted to show off their Halloween costumes.

Maddie in her bee costume...................

...................complete with stinger! :)

Tyler was a dragon...............

.................with wings & a tail. :)

Brenden was Batman & Evan was Bumblebee........a transformer.

Uncle Todd, J.D., Brenden & Justin mini-golfing.

Tyler taking one of his shots. :) I helped Tyler instead of playing a game myself. Everytime we or he would hit the ball in the hole, Tyler would raise his arms & yell, "I did it!" :) We also got 3 holes-in-one together..........I should play with Tyler more often! :)

Evan taking a shot. (Uncle Todd, Justin, Brenden & J.D. watching.)

Everyone had a great time! :)
