Halloween 2009

This halloween was AWESOME!!! Brenden, Elle and Brady were so much fun to take Trick or Treating. Brenden was a Pirate (Captain Hook), Elle was Tinkerbell and Brady was Handy Manny. They had a great time, Elle was quite the little trooper. She walked pretty much the entire time and had no problem going up to people to get candy. She says "T o T" hehe. We thought Brenden wasn't going to have anything to do with trick or treating but after about 3 0r 4 houses he was walking everywhere and going up and getting candy as well. Brady is awesome, he is quite the little trick or treater and goes everywhere.

My mom and I made gummy worm lollipops, had fun making them with her.

My little pirate!

Such a beautiful Tinkerbell!

My sister, Ryan and Elle were going to a Halloween Party after they left our house.

1st Dentist Visit

In the lobby waiting to meet Dr. Jane, I was trying to get Brenden to sit on the giraffe chair instead he was playing peek a boo with a lady sitting in the lobby.



















After Dr. Jane looked in my mouth and made me mad, my mommy made me take a picture with her. She said my mouth looked good, I have a lot going on in there right now. She said it looks like all my teeth are trying to come in at the same time.


















After Brenden's' exam and picture with Dr.Jane she gave him a green balloon and monkey.

My Little Cutie Pie

I love this little guy to pieces. I can't believe he is 18 months old already!! Today he goes to the dentist for the first time. Should be interesting, since last week my sister and Ryan took Elle and as my sister puts it she looked "posessed". Maybe somehow if they will allow me to I can get a picture of him at the dentist.

First Annual Strei/Colton Pumpkin Carving

Tonight we had our first official Strei/Colton Family Pumpkin Carving. Brenden is now 18 months and Elle is 20 months. Grammy worked with them both today and they now say Trick or Treat, Halloween and Pumpkin. They both had a blast!! They each got to paint their own little pumpkin, I think they were starting to paint themselves more than their pumpkins. Brenden was even trying to eat the paint at one point. Thank goodness for Non-Toxic paint!! After Scotty and Ryan gutted their pumpkins the Grandmas' cleaned out the pumpkin seeds and prepared them to Roast in the oven. I think that Scotty and Ryan may have even had more fun that Brenden and Elle. Scotty carved Snoopy in his pumpkin and Ryan carved a scull. They both did an awesome job!!! I really have never been into Halloween, but this year so far has been alot of fun. Can't wait for Saturday to dress them up in their cute little outfits.

Both Daddy's are very serious about their carvings
