Costumes, Costumes!!

Halloween is nearing and I've finished the costumes!! Here's pictures from the debute of the Allen family boys 2010 costumes.....

Ayden as Captin America

Gavin as Peter Pan (costume tutorial found here)

Captin America and Peter Pan are great friends...didn't you know!!

Ayden turns 4

Last week Ayden turned 4. He's growing up so fast!! We just love him so much and it's so fun to watch him experience life. He had his first friend birthday party this year and absolutly loved it!! We had 12 little superheroes here to celebrate, we made capes and masks, played pin the S on Supermans' chest and did a superheroes save the day scavenger hunt. They had a blast, and I was exhausted... however that night before Ayden went to bed he looked right at me and as sincerly as a little 4 year old can say it said "Mommy thank you for my birthday" and right there I knew we'd do it all over again!!

Picture Catch-up

There is far to much that I've missed in the last while and I'd never be able to get it all, so here's a few of my favorites to catch you all up on (a small bit) of the fun that we've had in the last little bit.

Ayden's going to preschool.

Gavin (finally, yes I was hesitant) got his first haircut.

And he looks so grown-up now!!

We had the best time with Bob and Amber's family when they came down for a visit.

Gavin turned one!!

Ayden enjoyed the Rodeo, and the Mutten Busting. Me not so much, those sheep sure seem a lot bigger with such a little boy on them.

And we've been doing a WHOLE LOT of this. The boys in the neighborhood are just the best of friends and have made summer so much fun for my little Ayden.
