Halloween!

Before we get to Halloween, I have a few other pics. We had Kanyon's 18 month check up (finally) and everything was good. He weighed 19lbs. 13 oz. (almost 25th%) and was 31 1/2 in. (almost 40th%). He is still on preemie charts, so when he's 2 and they take him off the charts and on to a regular 2 year old chart, we'll be nowhere near "on the charts" but who cares about those dumb ol' charts anyways! He had gained 800 grams since his 15 month visit and that was good. These pictures are of him in the waiting room at the Dr. office. It was early morning, so he was kinda out of it and his hair was CRAZY!!!

I was trying to get a picture of him eating his therapy bench but he kept hearing my camera beep and he would turn and flash this smile....

Here's my little woodchuck:

Ok ok ok ok HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We started the festivities at our church Trunk or Treat Wednesday night:


Here he is... 8 time Olympic gold medalist MICHAEL PHELPS!!!!!!!!

Kory gets the credit for the Phelps idea, I just had to make it happen. Not too hard once we found the "speedo" swim diaper cover thing on Target clearance. We liked the idea because it will be funny to look back on because the Michael Phelps thing was such a big deal this year. Not to mention the fact that Kanyon "Phelps", like the real thing, has an unusually long torso and giant feet and hands.

Mindi took these pics and she had to be fast...we weren't in our Phelps git up for very long because it was a bit chilly outside. So, he showed off his costume to his friends and then we had a quick costume change. BUT we kept with the water theme...He was a little froggy. Thanks to some friends of ours who gave us their boys' clothes, we had this costume to keep him warm!


"Talk to the webbed hand, Cooper!"

Here's our little froggy boy.

See, it wasn't THAT cold, he was all grins!

Kanyon and I headed to Paris for the weekend. We had Halloween fun and then Birthday fun (another post). We went to Clay and Maurine's for a great dinner and the best trick or treating neighborhood. Here are the Spencer Cousins:

Landry the mouse

Avery the cat and Roselyn the hare Avery got a little emotional when she realized how beautiful her costume was. It was just too much for her

Paw Paw and Phelps

Me and Clint with our little spooks

"Enough with this stupid hat mom"

Ok, here's the gang. Avery and Landry were A cat and a mouse. Roselyn and Nolan were the tortoise and the hare. Nolan's shell was a bike helmet that clint painted and strapped on him. Nice.

I feel like it will be at least 10 years before we can get them to quit picking at each other (Rosie and kanyon) and ALL look at the camera (like Avery)!!!

We had a great time with the cousins. The big girls are starting to "get it" so that was fun. Speaking of girls, they turned 2 and had a party to celebrate! I'll do that post later. klp and I are headed to Dallas for this week's OCH therapy.
