Trick-or-Treat

Well as most of you know last year's Halloween Connor was only 3 days old so we didn't get to go trick-or-treating, instead we just passed out candy. So this year we decided to go, so even though this was his second Halloween, it was like his first. The Friday before we went to IUK where they were doing a trick-or-treat. Connor had lots of fun, we went with our friends the Garbers. Connor was a doctor, Ethan was a police officer, and Jacob was Hell's Gate Keeper. He was pretty scary, he even had tattoos on his face to make it look like he had bugs coming out of his mouth. Then on actual Halloween night we went to a small town near Kokomo called Russiaville to do the bulk of our trick-or-treating. Their town hall does a special thing where you can get candy, cookies, punch, and coffee. It's a great small town feeling. Then we came back to Kokomo and went to some family and friends houses. We all had a great time. I've also included some pics of the two nights.

Look who's ONE!!!!

Well it's that time of year again. We have reached another milestone in Connor's life. He is now officially a year old. His birthday was on October 28th. I can't believe it's been a year already. It was a very busy weekend the weekend before his birthday. On Oct. 24th we went to Carmel and had his one year pictures taken at Portrait Innovations, then on the 25th we had his birthday party. We were fortunate enough to have all kinds of friends and family help celebrate his special day. We were very fortunate to have the people there that we did. And I know that my dad was there in spirit to watch his only grandson turn one. All in all it was a great weekend. Here are some pictures to show you all of the fun we had.

I wanted to do a big family picture as well. It's the first one since Connor's been born, and dad was there in spirit, I just know it.

Here are some pics of his birthday party.

This was the cake that I made for everyone else to eat. His birthday party was puppy dog themed. If you couldn't guess.

This was Connor's cake.

Right before he got his cake.

The first touch.

And we now have a bite.

Even after we took it away he still wanted a taste.
