Elliott's Second Birthday!!!

Our little red head is finally acting her age. 

The Great & Terrible 2 !!!!!!

Eating rice from the cooker. 

The famous scrunchy nose smile. 

With siblings on her big day. 

Eating her cupcake. 

Her loud & obnoxious gift her mother bought her. 

Yes, I regret buying it. 

But she loves it so much & plays with it all the time. 

Here's to many more years! 

We love how you test our nerves, climb everything imaginable & more.

You're such a happy person until someone crosses your way. 

Then you tell them to "back off" or scream till you get your way. 

You love going to school, playing on the playground, hanging on bars & rings, 

dancing, spinning, sleeping. 

We love how you cuddle & give great hugs & kisses.

Elliott, you are such a doll. 

Thank you for coming to live with our family.

Hasleton Quote

Charlotte: "Mom, your belly is getting sooooo big!"
Mom: "Yup, and it's just going to get bigger"
           And under my breath I say "And so will my butt."
Charlotte: "Your butt is going to get bigger?"
Mom: "It's going to get ginormous!"
Charlotte: very concerned "Will it break the house?"

Jeez, how big does she think it can get?

Halloween 2012

 Halloween festivities this year.

Jared's fabulous costume......

Pumpkin carving (ugh)

Bags upon bags of candy.

Decorating empty milk jugs to put lights inside. 

Was fun, glad it's over!
