Life!!

I am trying not to let a month (or two!!) go by without blogging. I still won't have any pictures yet since life has been crazy and I am SO behind on pictures etc. One day I will get it all together. One day many years from now :)

The kids had a great Halloween and have really been enjoying this Fall weather. Wade was Batman this year and WK was a cupcake. She was so proud of herself and her little bucket. Wade says Halloween is his most favorite time of the year because of the candy. WK was a big fan as well. We made it downtown this year and walked around for there "trick or treat" day. All the stores pass out candy to the kids. My kids loved it but it was actually really crowded this year. It was so nice though that we got to walk downtown from our house. We also took them trick or treating to our old street and it was so good to see all of our old neighbors. WK tried to walk right into our old house- it made us a little sad. We have really missed our neighbors so it was great to see them some. The kids were worn out by 8pm but they had a great time.

Wade is finishing up soccer and actually starts basketball this week. He like soccer but I would not say he loved it. Bless his sweet heart he is not aggressive at all. He is great with the ball and can dribble so well but he will NOT go after the ball or try to take it away from anyone. He is such a sweet spirit and doesn't think it would be "nice" to take the ball away. Oh Josh just hates this, ha ha!! He would rather just wait for the ball to come to him! He is excited for basketball and is excited that he is playing with his best friend Chase. We are going to try soccer again in the Spring but we are doing it with the Town because he is finally old enough. I think he will like it better because it is outside this time.

WK well she is just Westin-Kate and she should have been a boy she is so crazy. My mom found her up on the island in the kitchen this week. She climbed the bar stool and got up there all alone. My mom calls her a "walking tornado" and that is pretty much the truth. This child pretty much destroys every room every day. She is still so smiley and sweet (most of the time!!) She is finally getting a little more hair and I don't even want to say it but it looks like it is curling up on the sides and around the back. It is a dirty blond color. She has much darker hair than Wade. Wade was white blond and curly but now he has lost his curls and his is turning much darker too. Its funny because I always wanted her to have blue eyes like Wade because I always wanted blue eyes growing up :) I have to admit though I LOVE her big brown eyes. She may not have much hair but she has these great big brown eyes that are so sweet.

The house is still a work in progress. Things have been moving pretty fast. We finally found an electrician and we decided to have the entire house re-wired to get rid of all the old nob and tooth wiring. It took forever to find someone to do the work but we are so happy with this one. He has 4-5 guys that work for him and they have all been there working together which makes it go so much faster. It is pretty expensive but it is so worth it to us to have it up to code and have all new switches and outlets. Once they are finished we will finish with the wall and painting and then start on the floors and kitchen. The kitchen is all gutted and we have ordered our cabinets and counter tops. We can't wait to see it finished. We had a ton of landscaping done and it is a huge dirty mess but it looks so much better having all those old bushes and weeds pulled. We even found a really big stone patio under all the yard mess. We were pretty excited about that because now we have a place for our table and for a fire pit. We still don't know when we will finally get into the house but we are hoping by January at the latest. We added to our fence and now it goes almost all around our yard. We just have a  small part in the front yard to fence in. We can't wait to see the finished project one day. It may be years from now but hopefully it will all be worth it!!

And last but not least baby Hayes is here. Ashley had sweet Hayes early Friday morning. She actually worked all day and went in after work and they sent her home and told her she wasn't in labor. Well she proved them wrong because she came back in and had a baby in less than two hours. She did it natural because she labored at home so long she didn't have time for her epidural when she finally came back in. He is so cute and so quiet. I know he may not always be this way but the child has not cried for more than 5 seconds total. He is the most content baby I have ever been around.  He is really cute and looks so different than my kids. He is little and skinny and has a lot of hair. Mine were both chubby and big with hardly any hair. I am trying not to be a baby hog but he is so sweet you just want to cuddle him all the time. Hoping he stays this quiet for them all the time.
