Winding down 2009

I figured I better catch up.....
We celebrated another Halloween. This was Quinn's 3rd Halloween. Of course he loved his costume...A Police Officer! That is what he wants to be when he grows up. Parker was Robin Hood. He originally wanted to be Elvis. But the school requires a "Literary Character" and that was better for Parker to do. He actually loved being Robin Hood. We made a bow with real wooden arrows. I made the hat myself!

Then I made Spider Cupcakes! They were quite a hit with the boys!

Then on November 9th we ditched school early to go to Disneyland for Parker's 8th Birthday! Oh it is hard to believe he is 8 already! Quinn's birthday is right around the corner on January 17th. Not sure what we will do for him.

Finally we received Quinn's new California Birth Certificate. It will just make life easier for him to have that. If something ever happened to his original Kazakhstan Birth Certificate...I can't even imagine the obstacle in getting a new one. This way...if Quinn ever needs a replacement...it is right here in good old California. It lists Tyler and I as his parents...yippeeee!! To us this just "seals the deal"...he is OUR SON!

The other photo I took of Quinn was at his school. His teacher, Mrs. Mayhugh needed some class pictures taken for their awards they get. I took the photo of all the kids and just love how Quinn's turned out! What a little cutie!

Oh big news!! Quinn lost both front teeth! The 2nd one took forever to fall out. Well Quinn had to sort of pull that one out. It was just hanging there all crooked. He looked pretty funny! We started calling him "Jethro"...no offense to people called Jethro.
