Micah is 3!!!

Micah's birthday fell on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This was so great because Bart and I had the day off from work! The morning was spent making trains. Daddy went and picked up Zaxby's for lunch. Micah got a chocolate milk to drink (first time ever).

After a good nap, we all headed to Frankie's Fun Park...

First was Ski Ball...

We got to visit with sweet baby Eli!!! (4 days old here)

Christmas 2011

We had a great time in NC over Christmas! Before we headed North, we did something we have never done before...celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at home! It was so great, and will definitely be remembered as one of our favorite Christmases.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween! Micah had such a great time trick-or-treating! I was shocked and surprised when he kept his Spiderman mask on the whole night. He patiently waited his turn at every door and always said "Thank you", which was a huge hit! We can't wait 'til next year!

shooting webs from his hands...

These are my friends from school and I earlier that day...Erin is a "ceiling fan", Billie is a 70's chick and I am "pumpkin pi"...get it? We had a great time!

Fall Festival

Micah's school has a Fall Festival every year. This year the theme was PIRATES!!! We were slightly excited about the choice of theme :) Below are pics of Micah and his sweet friend Jackson in their Pirate costumes! I also attached a video of Micah walking in the "Pirate Parade". He is the last one in his class. Special thanks to his friend, Beckham who pulled him along :)
