Little Stinker Halloween

Grandma Esther made an adorable skunk costume with little leather padded feet- it just barely fit at labor day and we outgrew it by halloween. Thanks to G's cousin, Collin, we had a hand-me-down skunk body with the feet cut off from when he was a skunk 10 years ago! It worked perfectly.

We put his costume on the weeks leading up to halloween and told him he was a skunk- he decided he was an "itty" (a kitty).

Grandma and Grandpa Hagen came over to celebrate (thanks mom for the black cat martinis!). We had a great photo shoot in the sun, but I forgot to take trick-or-treating pictures- oops! There is always next year!

His favorite part was handing out candy to the kids at our door. He even gave a little dragon a kiss!

And our little stinker is off!

Yummy halloween sugar cookies. The days of cutely decorated sugar cookie cut-outs with homemade buttercream are gone for now. At least they were not from a Pillsbury tube!

Happy Birthday Grant!

Grant is one year old today! That is right, at 8:30 a.m. 10/6/09 our little guy came into this world a 6lb 12 oz- a little tike. The year has zipped by and we feel so lucky to have such a sweet, funny, and amazing little guy. He is such a little person now and he can finally return our hugs and kisses!

We treasure every moment and look forward to making more memories. What a great year it has been and what a great adventure lies ahead.

And here is what you have been waiting for all year..... drum role please! The onesie photos! Oh my, how he has grown!

Pumpkin Pickin'

We headed to Craven Farms on Friday. Grant just loved all the little displays, but his favorite part was the other kids. He would take off chasing after any little kid to say hi- so darn cute!

I am totally excited about my pumpkin- the oddly tall one below.
