"Hers is cute!"

This boy loves her A LOT!! As Caleb says, "Hers is cute!!"

This boy LOVES her ALOT too!!

Halloween

Halloween started a week early for our family.  Gma & Gpa Harper throw the BEST Halloween parties for their grandkids every year we ALL look forward to it each year. Even the parents!! We get to drop the kids off and have a date night!!

They were all so cute this year!

We have....

 Starting in back: Brock (army man), Drake (ninja), Cade (some Egyptian guy), Cole (basketball player), Clay (bum)

Front: Elli (angel), Blayke (witch), Crew (ninja), Caleb (Simba), Tyke (Frankenstein), Braeden (mummy)

The sweet little granddaughters.... they aren't the only girls in the bunch anymore.... 

Then it was the Halloween parade at school

Braeden was a mummy for the party but then the night before the parade, he decided to be something else. His mind was set on a zombie. I didn't know how to make that kind of costume. I didn't have much time in the morning to get him ready, Capri fed, get me dressed for the day and Elli dressed all before school. So I made him think of something else. I felt bad because he really wanted to be a zombie.... but it wasn't happening. So he thought of this. He is Litl' Mac from Punch Out. I made the belt and ripped a white shirt that night and he was so excited to be this. Phew!!

Then Caleb had his preschool parade!! Look at that little Simba!! Such a funny costume, but that's what he wanted!!

Arms up!!

Then we went to Dewitt Stables the Saturday before. It was fun. Kind of like Schnepf Farms but smaller.

This stage in life... Braeden is into squids. Not sure why, but he is. 

Caleb wanted a butterfly.... umm, OK, you can have a butterfly, but we are gonna do USC colors to make it more boyish!!

This was the funnest thing there for the kids. They did this about 4 times.

Pumpkin carving. Always a good time!! I hate cleaning out the pumpkin. I'm glad Mark took control. My only job was to take pictures.

I love Elli's heart eyes and star nose. Such a girl thing!  They were all pretty proud of their finished product!!

Finally... it is time to go trick or treating.....


Our little Devil!!

Oh those toes.... so edible!!

Capri wasn't too excited to be dressed up. But she had to put up with it because she was just so cute and I needed pictures.

Simba, Devil, Angel and Litl' Mac

Arms up again.... not sure why he did that in alot of the pictures.

Love this!! 

Grandpa is pretty fond of her!! So cute of them!!

Ca-Cub

It was getting late and I told the kids to get their jammies on. A good 20 minutes later, I found Caleb like this. Sound asleep in the closest. I guess he was getting his USC jersey on for jammies.

Then another time, I asked Braeden and Elli to get in the shower (not at the same time :) and since Caleb sees them showering, he wants to do it too. So when they were both done, Caleb hopped in the shower and did his thing. Then after I was drying him off, he headed to the cabinet and pulled out some deodorant and started put it on. He made it look like no big deal. Such a copy cat!

Baby Capri

This little girl is quite the favorite at our house. Everyone wants to hold and kiss on her at her every waking moment. Mark and Elli fight for her. The second Elli gets home from school.... "I need to hold her!" Then when Mark gets home from work.... "Give her to me Elli!" Then Elli tells her dad that she just got her and that he can't have her yet. This is an everyday occurrence.

Love having another girl!! Oh the bows and accessories!!

This was right after a bath. She has curly hair for about 15 minutes right after!! Love it!!

She has the same glare I do using her eyebrows.

I guess we are kind of sleep deprived in this house..... 

 

My beautiful girls!! Lucky us to have them!!

I was holding Capri and just about to put her to bed when Caleb asked to hold her. So I gave her to him and he immediately started singing "I Am A Child of God" to her. He loves this song and sings it all the time. So I ran and got the camera and recorded him singing it to Capri.

Every time Caleb sees a picture of her or if she is smiling, Caleb says, "Ooooohh, how cute!" He seriously just adores her and loves her a lot! (As I am making this post... Caleb is looking at the pictures and saying, "How cute!") Love that boy!
