October Trip to Bakersfield

Seconds anyone? A second celebration for Jake was held in Bakersfield on his actual birthday. His second cupcake was received just as enthusiastically as the first. With all of the teething, how do the sweets always manage to make it down so easily? We made a trip to Bubie and Grandpa's to go our friend's, the Bakers, annual Halloween party which was an absolute blast.

Our family dressed around Wilken in a firefighters theme. Daddy and Wilken spent a week putting together Ryan's firetruck costume. Wilken and Jake looked so cute as the fireman and Dalmatian. Mom, the ladder, could have tried a bit harder, but at least she participated. Right? Ryan took away the prize of the night for best costume and our whole crew won for best family costume. Thanks for the Dewar's chews Bakers!

Here is a shot of mommy with Jake, Becky with Greyson, Jennifer with Gracie, and Julie with Ty.

Wilken, in a hand-me-down outfit from our neighbor, was the inspiration for our theme.

We had a great visit with Bubie and Grandpa. Here is Jake with the "dancing Bubie." All of the grandbabies can't resist falling asleep while being danced in her arms.
