  But we can't complete the year without these pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

October

 October was a fun month.  We went to a well check for my youngest.  Here they are hanging at the doctors office. The next picture was on the same time.  This is about the time my youngest decided it was fun to go down slides and she loves this little slide.

 October is fire safety month.  So there were firefighters everywhere we went and my son was in Heaven.  The first place we went they had fire safety stuff and then we got some dinner.

 Then we went to the Open House at the local Fire Station that month as well.  The kids love going every year.  They got to sit in the helicopter.

 My son got to watch the Fire fighters demonstrate how they put out fires and the importance of  fire alarms.

 Then his Preschool went to the Fire Station for a field trip and I tagged along to help.  Here are my favorite photos of the trip.  He would have talked the ears off the Fire Fighters if they would have let them.  He even told them that he knows everything.

Here is the littlest sitting in the wheel of the Fire Truck.

 A few pictures of my son with his class.  Notice he is front and center with the Fire Fighter.

 Then there was Halloween.  We went to a Trunk or Treat one day.  My son was walking by the fire truck and a Fire Fighter talked to him and gave him a hat and complimented him on his costume.  This is the first time I made his costume.  Like I said earlier there were Fire Fighters everywhere we went this month.

 She was Rapunzel.  I made this costume as well including the hair.  My husband helped by being my model so I could work on it while kids were asleep.  He is such a good trooper.  I married a great man.

 And here is our youngest.  She is wearing the princess dress I made for our oldest when she was small.  They look so much alike,  The only thing that I made this year was the crown.

 Finally we went to my Sisters to Trick or Treat this year to help a friend out who had a wedding to go down near my Sisters house.  It was fun because the kids got to go with their cousins which was a nice treat for them.  By the way I tend to make costumes a little too big.  There is always a hope they will want to wear it again plus it goes in the dress up stuff.

 Their uncle let them tie him up.  He is a good sport.

My oldest niece with my youngest who is the youngest cousin on my side of the family.  My youngest was so cute and just cuddled with her cousin for a while.

 Here they are at the end of the night after Trick or Treating.  Tired and excited for candy and some were a little cranky after getting scared at the last house they went to.  And yes the other fire fighter is wearing my sons old costume.  My son insisted that his best friend wear it and they were funny.

September

  September was the start of Preschool for our son.  This year preschool has been a much more enjoyable experience.  My son loves his teacher and has several friends which makes him get excited to go.  He has liked riding his bike when it is warm enough to walk.  I have had a much better experience this year as well since his teacher is my visiting teacher and friend.  This allows me the chance to ask her any questions that I have and know how he is doing.  Luckily she is patient with me and my many questions.

  We also went to my husbands Annual Meeting in Colorado this year.  This is the first time we have flown with kids.  Our kids were excited especially our son.  He was so excited he had a hard time waiting because of a couple hour delay.  Due to his sensory he just could not grasp why he couldn't get on the plane when he knew it was sitting there waiting for us to board.  The weather in Colorado was so bad they couldn't let us fly yet.  Here are some pictures waiting and trying to keep our kids entertained till we can board the plane.

 Finally we we able to board after a couple hours.  Then once we got on we waited another half hour before we could leave the gate.  We were told that since it was our kids first time flying that we should tell the flight attendants and that they like to make it special.  So we did and sure enough they went above and beyond to make our kids comfortable.  During our wait on the plane the pilot invited us up into the cock pit and let the kids sit in the captains chair.  Once back in the seats they gave our kids a little packet that had crayons, a coloring book and some wings to wear.  Then on take off and landing they gave a special shout out to our kids over the speaker.  Our kids did great!  Everyone around us complimented us on how well our kids did while flying.  In all honesty it is a whole new ball park flying with kids.  I have always been a little nervous on take off and usually like to sit back close my eyes and take deep breaths.  When I did that my kids kept asking me questions.  But flying was nice in that once in the air we were where we needed to be much quicker.  Plus it was an experience that our older kids talk about still and will remember for a long time.

 While on this trip we learned that my phone gets emergency alerts.  We spent most our time inside the hotel because many places in Colorado were flooded due to high amounts of rain.  Except for the couple hours one day that the sun came out and it was beautiful and we went swimming.  The hotel was great because at their restaurant our kids ate free and thanks to my husbands work they picked up my tab as well.  We were so grateful for this opportunity.  It wasn't our most exciting trip but it is so nice to go with Daddy and see him when he is done with work.  We have felt spoiled to have the chance to do this.

 They had a dog at the hotel that is just part of the hotel.  The kids loved to see the dog and pet it.

  

Heading to the airport on our last day.  This is the kids all asleep in the back of the small rental car we had.  Luckily the car seats fit perfectly.

  

My son who has always liked trains enjoyed riding the airport train to get to our flight terminal. Plus son crazy kid pictures at the airport waiting to get on the plane and riding the bus to our car once we got home.

  

 

 Also in September we went to the dentist.  Just to let you know we did not get picture from our most recent visit.  But the kids love going to the dentist and we would like to keep it that way.
