Photo Booth......

At the reception they had a photo booth as their guest book....

Mike chose Ozzy Osbourne glasses. Dylan chose his glasses and mom's glasses and Tate chose a "batman looking mask." (not a surprise for Tate's choice).

Dylan and Ellie had fun in the photo booth and would have stayed in the booth for hours if they would have been allowed. I think they look pretty silly and cute! What a great idea for a guest book......

More of Jerrod and Michelle's Wedding

Dylan and Ellie were so cute. They were taking pictures, conversing, and giggling all night.

Jerrod and Michelle's Wedding.......Jerrod and Michelle after their wedding vows. We were so excited to be at this special occasion. Mike's Aunt Kathy and his cousin Enjoli both married in the past two years, but we were unable to attend because of Mike's employment situation. We are so grateful that we could attend Jerrod's wedding and it was so great to see his cousins and his Aunt and to spend time with them. It was a beautiful ceremony.

It was fun to dress up for a wedding.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.....

Tate had a difficult time deciding which costume he was going to wear this year. He had Darth Maul on earlier in the day and then at the last moment decided he would be Spiderman. Dylan was excited to wear the same costume that he had planned on this year. The boys had a great time trick or treating with their dad. Grandpa and Grandma Green were awesome to come and hand out candy this year while mom worked in the NICU with the little babies. It was a fun filled day and apparently we had around 175 kids come to our home this year for candy. We have a fun neighborhood!

THE PUMPKIN PATCH...........

The boys always love to go to the pumpkin patch.

This year Dylan liked hauling Tate around in the cart.

The pumpkin patch had a new slide this year.

THE TOOTHLESS DYLAN.......

Dylan had a recent visit to the dentist. The dentist showed him how to start wriggling his little teeth so that they can come out. Since Dylan has been off track he has been busy wriggling his teeth. He lost 4 teeth in 2 days! I love the toothless smile and we told him he should be a pirate for Halloween. I have been trying hard to snap photos of his adorable toothless grin.

PUMPKIN CARVING.....
One of Mike's favorite things is to carve pumpkins.
The boys thought the green pumpkin should be the Hulk and since we just saw Jack at the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland, Tate really wanted "2 Jack pumpkins." Mike did a great job!

The boys were into sword fighting, just being boys,

instead of helping their dad carve the pumpkins.
