Birthday Boy

Collin had his 5th Birthday on Sunday!!!! It's so fun to be five and in Kindergarten, I think this is the best time of his life so far.
We invited our friends, the Smiths (next door neighbors) and the Aguilars over for dinner and cake on Sunday. Here is Collin and Mikayla Smith ready to blow.

Collin got his first real bike.

On Saturday he invited 2 friends, Nathan and Mark to Peter Piper Pizza. They all had an absolute blast!!

Happy Halloween

Before Trunk or Treating at the church

This year we had a princess (Julia 2) and a knight (Collin 4)

(had to show the tonsil and eyes wide open picture)
Here they are looking a little more normal ....

and here is our sweet bunny Catherine

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Our friend Clark (who was superman...very fitting with the name Clark..: ) trick or treated with us too. It was great fun and we got way tooooo much candy. After a couple of days of way too much sugar, I dumped all the candy in a big bowl for Michael to take to work. I saved out a few pieces for the kids, though!

We had a visit with Carly and also carved pumpkins

Carly (Senior) Snar stopped by for a visit since she was in town visiting the Yegge sisters. For those who don't know.... Carly and family are long time friends from San Jose where I grew up. Here is a pictures of Carly and 2 of her kids, Audrey and Julia (baby). Hubby and Andrew (her little boy) stayed behind at the Yegges. It was great to chat for a couple hours especially since we're in about the same stage of life right now...3 small kids.....and never a dull moment.

Our beautiful masterpieces: Julia wanted the kitty and Collin..the skull and cross bones (surprise, I know)

Julia...happily scooping her pumpkin goo

Collin wouldn't touch his...Dad did it!!!!!!!!!
