The Stevens: October 2005

What Fun He Had

David has such a great time trick-r-treatin'. In between each house he kept saying, "More Picker-Peats." I don't think that he was really motivated by the candy. He was motivated to get to each house to 1) ring the doorbell 2) try to run in the house & explore & 3) to see if they had a dog. He's still not excited about the candy. Now Mark on the other hand....

Mark After the Candy

Mark has quite the little sweet tooth. He was so sticky after trick-or-treating. He just would not let go of his sucker. Now any time he sees a lollipop stick he gets sooooo excited!

Yee-Haw Mark

Mark was also a cowboy. But, since he has began walking around, pictures are becoming increasingly more difficult! There was just no bribing Mark to wear his hat. If you have had any success bribing a one year old, please let me know.

Hee-Haw David!

David was a cowboy for Halloween. We had to bribe him with the dream of getting candy in order to get him to wear the hat!

Shannon the Ninja

Shannon had a great time trick-r-treatin' with David and Mark while poor Patrick spent 7 hours in the emergency room. ( No actual emergency... it's a long story :0 )

Mark on the Go!

What a cutie! Mark is up and running around. He is so happy to be able to run after David.

Happy 1st Birthday Mark

Daddy & Mark getting ready for the big day.

Mark's 1st birthday party was so much fun! We planned & planned. It seemed like the day would never get here. Once it was here, it just flew by! Now I'm just sitting here wondering, what will I plan now?

Bella helps with the cake

Grandma & Mark

Now that's a nice buckle!

Mommy & Daddy in their western duds. Check out Sean's authentic belt buckle (thank you ebay.) It's 5 1/2' wid & is complete with an initial S. Yee-Haw Cowboy! Interestingly enough, Sean said that I might not like what I started. He as really enjoyed wearing his new cowboy boots around town. Although he was sad when he went to Wal-Mart & nobody seemed to notice him in his hat & belt buckle. What do you expect? We live in South Carolina!
