Halloween Party 2010

"Iron Man" Justin and "Bumble Bee" Karson

This is Karson's newest face, and I absolutely love it. He is the cutest!

Karson loved it so much that he fell asleep part way into it.

This may have been the best shot of the night. Karson eating his very own giant marshmallow with the massive bonfire in the background.

Birthday Party in Iowa

Our boys are a little bit spoiled. They get two birthday parties every year - one in Illinois and one in Iowa. I guess that makes up for the fact that we make them share their parties with each other. I'm sure that won't last forever, but right now it works out very nicely.

Selmi's Pumpkin Patch 2010

Every year after the boys' birthday party in Sterling, we go to the local Pumpkin Patch called Selmi's. The boys always have a blast picking out pumpkins, and doing all the other fun stuff there is to do there, like the Petting Zoo, Haunted House, Hay Rack Ride, Face Painting, etc.

They provide Red Wagons for hauling pumpkins. I think we go the best pumpkin in the patch!

They also have a growth chart that we take advantage of every year. Justin wasn't standing up totally straight, but he is about 48 inches tall already!

Karson didn't really stand up straight either, but it made for a cute picture. He is really about 32 inches tall. They are growing up so fast!

Our herd - Karson the Cow and Justin the Pig. Could they be any cuter?

Birthday Party in Illinois

Ozzie, Karson, Justin, Maggie, Carter & Owen at the boys' birthday party in Sterling. What a great looking group of kids, don't you think? :)

The Larson Family

We had to go with two separate party themes this year since Justin insists on having a mind of his own. I wonder where he got that from. :) Justin had a Mario Bros. theme, which he loved.

Karson's theme was Football. In case you haven't seen him when a game is on, he just goes crazy. He actually sits and watches it for fairly long periods of time, and the whole time he is bouncing up and down, clapping, and yelling at the TV. It is really quite comical.

Susie did a wonderful job on both cakes, like always. Thanks Susie!
