BOO!

Halloween is so much fun! Here is a picture of the web the boys help put up and all the spooky decorations on it that they made.

Let the pumpkin carving begin.

Oh ya!- our motorized pumpkin saws were awesome this year!!

Pumpkin decorating- toddler style.

Chad's cool fancy pumpkin picture.

The whole gang.

Ange- King Veg, Kes- Batman, Chad-Joe, Cal-painted dragon, Rue-Crazy Cat.Creepy Halloween breakfast for the boys. Twinkie spiders and orange cocoa.

Pumpkin pie!!

Papa Murphy's Pumpkin Pizza- holiday food is great!

Mickey Cal and Pumpkin Tank.

Mickey Mouse and Batman.

They were great trick or treaters!

Calon went to every house with Kes.

Found his girlfriend.

Calon still won't put his bucket down.

They got lots of yummy treasures...

Kes even got a spider ring. :)

Rue Rue

Rue came to visit last week, which was great. We were able to do lots of fun stuff while she was here, especially because the weather was nice. We saw a basketball game, an airplane icon, a Portland mansion, a vineyard and the Willamette river.

Intel invited all the NM families to dinner and a Trail Blazers game. The boys are playing before the game.

Ready for some B- Ball.

Cheese.

Nothing beats brotherly love.

Well...maybe airplanes. Chad?

Rue Rue and Calon checking out one of the planes at the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum.

This is the best shot I could get of the Spruce Goose. It was just too big to fit in the frame.

Fascinated by pennies going down the tube.

Cute boys.

Chad checking out a model of the Wright Brothers plane.

Pilot and Co pilot.

We stopped by a vineyard. It was so beautiful.

Walk through vineyard rows.

So sweet.

The boys love to run around outside- all 3 of them!

Walking around downtown Portland.

A lot of fog at the Pittock Mansion.

Chad, Mr. Pittock. Mr. Pittock, Chad.

Kes loved the fancy stairs there.

The grounds were so pretty. Oh, to have land!!!!

Uncle JJ

A new Uncle? So exciting!!! Kes hasn't seen JJ since he was barely 2 and Calon has never met him, so when JJ came to visit last week it was like getting a new Uncle. More family is always fun, especially when they know the ways of super heroes and ninja fighting. JJ made quick friends with the boys.

We went to the OMSI (Oregon's Museum of Science and Industry). Calon gave the museum an ear full.

JJ and Kes sword fighting with bread sticks in the pretend play science garden.

A trip to VooDoo never hurts.

Ya, JJ ate everything on that plate plus a bowl of BBQ beef and a roll. Had to balance out the donut overload.

Went to dinner at a place called Salvador Molly's, which was featured on Man vs Food. They have a challenge there...if you eat 5 Great Balls of Fire in 5 minutes you get your picture on the Hall of Flame.

We thought we would try them just for fun. Big mistake!

Ange spit out the only bite she tried and still had a flaming mouth 5 minutes later. JJ and Chad both at 2 1/2 ....we're talking tears, sweat, and inflamed mouths, throats and stomachs...and that's just on the way in....

Playing house at Out of this world.

Cheese.Ready. Set. Go.

Forts Rule!

Feeding Alpacas and Goats at the Roloff Farm.

Kes would not touch any of them- or the food.

Calon thought it was hilarious!

Pumpkin Lover!

AAAHHHH!!

Disney on Ice was really fun.

Chilling after pounding some cotton candy, fruit snacks and some Cheetos.

Keston took this picture of Calon. He loves taking pictures. Getting pretty good too.

Gotta Love Produce

Found this lovely potato in the bag the other day.
