5 Months!

I was talking to my aunt the other day and she asked me how old Johnny was and I said, "Oh he's almost five months." Then we got talking about Johnny's birthday and how it is close to my Grandpa Glen's, on June 13th, to which she responded,
"Well today is the 13th!" 

I hadn't even realized that it had been five months!! 

It seams so surreal that my little feller is 5 months old! Where did the Summer go??!

At five months Johnny

::loves to use his hands and tries to grab everything!

::has totally regressed in the sleeping through the night thing.. he's up at least three times. 

Thus, the bags under my eyes.

::rolls over

::babbles

::loves toys and chewing on everything

::kind of gave up on solid foods... but still nursing great! We'll try more solids next month.

I joke and say that my boys are little clones of each other, but they do look a lot alike!  

Here is Luke at 5 months. 

Now if Johnny would sleep like Luke as much as he looks like him we'd be in good shape! ;)

Halloween Part 3 | Costumes and Trick or Treating

This year we made costumes with things we had around the house. It was fun and cheap! I hot glued some scraps of zebra fabric and sequins to one of Estefan's old church shirts and that become Allie's costume. She already had all the princess accessories.

Mark wore what he wears everyday... with the addition of one of my belt buckles from my steer showing days.
The Rodeo Princess and the Cowboy

For Luke I cut up a pair of Mark's old pants and those became his clown bottoms. I used some bandanas and felt to finish off his look.
Johnny's hat came from the talented lady who has been taking his photos every couple months.

After we filled our buckets with a years supply of candy, we headed back home My cute pumpkin boys! Lighting our pumpkins and.. watermelon Dustin got a picture of the pumpkins and the moon coming up. So spooky!!    Happy Halloween!!

For FHE on Monday night, we got together with all the Nelson cousins and carved pumpkins! Allie takes after her dad...
