Dakota's Favorite Shirt

Dakota loves his Thomas the Train shirt! As you can tell by how proudly he puffs out his stomach to show it off for the camera! It cracks me up that my 3 year old son asks for certain articles of clothing to wear when he gets dressed in the morning. He should be way to young for that!

Mr. & Mrs. Bart Leman

My cousin Bart got married Saturday and it was a beautiful wedding and reception which was enjoyed by many! We pray God will bless them as they join their lives as one!

It was a family affair, my Mom made the wedding cake, my Aunt Margie did the sheet cakes and Danielle and Mom catered the event!

On a side note: Dakota has a double ear infection and a sinus infection so we could use some prayers for healing and patience in our household! :)

Trick or Treat aka Christmas Tree!

For some reason Trick-or-Treat Night in our town is always on a Saturday, so this year it was set to be on Nov. 1st. We had a wedding to be at that day (I'll post on that later!) so we took the kids to Aunt Kayla and Uncle Aaron's on Oct 31st and did our Trick-or-Treating in their neighborhood! The kids love any chance to go visit them!

Ali was Minnie Mouse and her costume was actually one that I wore when I was about her age! My mom found some of our old costumes in her attic and passed them on to me. We had a terrible time keeping the head part of the costume on her though! If I had it to do again I think I would actually tape part of it to her forehead to keep it in place. Dakota was a dinosaur this year and he loved it! He has worn the costume several days other then halloween!

The kids enjoyed it! We did get a good laugh about Dakota tho. For some reason as people would open their doors and Ali would say "trick-or-treat", he would very enthusiastically say "Christmas Tree!" It was so cute! They do sound a bit alike! At least he was trying!

All ready to go!

A view from the back!

After the first house Dakota decided he needed to be carried. Thankfully, after a few more houses he decided to walk again!
