Halloween!!

Kids in costumes!! Can they get any cuter? The pictures above are from Trick or Treating last night. We had lots of fun passing out candy. Our neighborhood has lots of kids, so we got to see everything from Minnie Mouse to Yoda! Don't Karl and Brent look cute with the cutest kids in the neighborhood, Lars, Avery, and Reagan?!

We had a Halloween Luncheon at our house earlier in the day. It was totally mass chaos, but it was worth it! We had 11 moms and 15 kids running around all dressed up. Thank you to all the moms who brought food and helped with food once you got here! I couldn't have done it with out you!!
All of Lars' little friends (above on the couch) are boys, but you can see in the pictures below he is quite the Ladies Man!! He doesn't care if they are older, he just flirts with all the girls:)!

Kickers

Have you ever seen Kickers look SO cute!

Karl in Kwaj

Glad Karl's home!!

We are so happy to have Karl home!!! Can you see the HUGE smile behind Lars' bling? He has been gone for almost a month (home for just 7 days in the middle)! Which is way too long!!
Lars' response to hearing Karl is coming home:) Yeah!!!

Angel, Bailey and J were here this weekend too to welcome Karl home! J ran in the Marine Corp Marathon Sunday. I'm not sure he is able to walk yet:).
The last picture is one of my favorites cause Lars' is wearing his John Deere boots his Aunt Kim sent him! He is so proud to be a Texan!!

LeTourneau Family

We recently got to have dinner with Dr. Gonzalez (engineering prof at LETU) and Josh Johnston here in D.C. It is always nice to get to see people from LeTU!!

Friends to the bitter end...

I wanted to share this post with ya'll, cause my friend Dre is so dear to me. I hope that you enjoy the pictures and the video at the end that is just classic Dre and Jessi:)

"Famping"

This is my friend Sarah holding Lars. Thanks Sarah for helping out with Lars! We had such a good time hanging out by the camp fire and eating s'mores:)!! It was a perfect weekend to enjoy the crisp fall air and beautiful leaves!! We serve an Awesome God!!
This weekend Lars an I went "famping"!! Famping stands for fake camping. Several friends went camping and we just went and hung out for the day, cause it was too cold at night for Lars.

October Fun!

We had so much fun today at Layng's farm. We joined several friends for a hayride, big slides, pumpkins, moon bounce and potbelly pigs:). All the kids had so much fun and the moms did too!!

6 Months

Lars is growing and growing!! He is 6 months already. I can't believe he is growing so fast! He can sit by himself, roll over (both ways), stand with support, steamroll all his friends (except Sam I Am) and his first tooth has come through!! He is a big talker & loves to laugh:). Of course we think he is the cutest and best baby ever!
At his six month appointment he weighed in at 23.5 pounds and 29.5 inches! He moved into a big boy carseat this week (cause he outgrew his baby one) and he is wearing 12-18 month old clothes (they are getting a little short:)!
