{family pictures}

it's crazy to think that just 10 years ago i met this amazing guy! and now, 9 years later, we have been blessed with this......

three incredibly adorable little boys. we love them so much and this picture totally shows how cute they really are.

our sweet nolan who is so obedient and so loyal and so handsome. we are so lucky to have him.

lukie, our crazy ball of fire, so animated and so goofy and so antagonistic, yet so adorable.

 and then iker's. he just melts my heart. so happy and so content and so in love with me. (for now)

our dear friend keelie took these pictures and i love how she captured our crazy life. our boys never stop moving. i look at these pictures and think how blessed i am to have 4 amazing men in my life. i know i will always be taken care of. and they are such handsome men. i would have put more of the pictures up but i'm just too tired. the ones i put up are my favorite anyway. love them!

{halloween}

this year, since i was not pregnant, we wanted to have a halloween party. it was so much fun to get all our friends to come and go trick-or-treating around our awesome neighborhood. it really is the best to to trick-or-treating in. the houses are close together and it's a safe place. so you can get tons of candy! we went through 10 bags in 2 hours. what!?

the boys were part of the avengers team. luke was captain america, nolan was thor, and ike was the hulk. and a darn cute one!

i bet this kid can wear this costume next year. i didn't realize how big it would be.

what a great halloween we had. the boys anticipated this for so long and i know it didn't disappoint. these are the kind of memories i want to have forever. love my family.

{luke's party}

now that luke is in preschool, he was able to celebrate with a party at school.  he was so excited because he got to wear his costume and nolan didn't get to wear his to school. why are siblings like that? i remember being the same way.

some of the mothers put together the party. they had great games for the kids. luke was incredibly focused.

he came home with a goody bag. (as if he wasn't going to get enough candy trick-or-treating.)

my little lukie is growing up so fast. i do love the little moments with this kid but i could do without all the whining and tantrums. gosh, he's trying my patience. and you all know my patience is low to begin with. regardless of that, i love seeing him enjoy his school party and all the friends that he has made.

{book fair}

nolan's school had a fun book fair a few weeks ago. they had all sorts of fun things for the kids to get them excited about reading. they got to pick a new book of their own, get their faces painted, play reading games, and eat lots of treats. although the face painting looks a little gross by the time we took a picture, the kids loved it! luke was a dog and nolan was a lion.

{tanner farm}

 it's crazy to think that last year when we took the boys to tanner farm i came down with some crazy arthritis while pregnant with ikers. i couldn't walk or even move it was so painful. it lasted for about 2 months. thank goodness i didn't have the same thing happen this year. 

the farm was a hit for all the boys. wish it would have been a much warmer experience but still a good time.

i can't believe ike is 9 months old! stop it.

nolan cracks me up! he comes up with some crazy outfits and this was no different. he kind of looks like an old lady with the sunglasses he chose.

luke was so excited to ride the bikes himself this year.

love these two!

the boys loved the barrel ride. 

another fun family outing to the farm. the donuts are to die for, the pumpkin slushies are divine. it really is a great time. we can't wait for next year!
