HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! This is only the start....

Orion had a great time helping me make our WIGS for Halloween last night! Orion is going to be the Cat in the Hat (although he doesn't like his hat... the Hatless Cat in the Hat!) He did however enjoy the blue wigs/hats mommy was making for her and daddy to wear! (We will be Thing 1 and Thing 2!)

Our friend Heather (Heea-THUR! as Orion says!) came by to drop off an early Halloween treat bag for Orion!

BOO!

MANY MANY MORE HALLOWEEN PICTURES TO COME!!

Virginia Beach Family Reunion (part one)

Orion's name in the sand AGAIN! We love our little man! Thank you Nanny and Pappy and Grandma and Grandpa West for helping put our little man's name in the sand large enough for the WORLD to see!

My boys!

I love this one!

Last weekend we went to Virginia Beach for our annual West Family Reunion- Great-great Grandma's Birthday Party (HAPPY 86th!) We had a great time with family, enjoyed some awesome food, and Brian and I even had a date night! It was an awesome family weekend! As always we enjoyed our beach front rooms and even though it isn't "in season" and is a little cold we had a great time with the Orion on the beach!

Mom and Steve have ALL the pictures so I will post part 2 soon!

Date Night 10-22-08

Orion had a "date night" with his girl Hannah last week! He loves her! He got a kiss (well many kisses from Hannah! haha!) Orion is a little smoocher! He has already been kissed by 2 girls!! OH NO!! We have our hands full! haha! We had a great time as always with Lindsey and Josh and it was so great to see the kids playing together! Orion was in heaven with all the new toys and his playmate! Enjoy!

I think these two pictures (and BABIES) are so cute!!

Beautiful Hannah!!

I can't believe that when they had their date this time last month Orion was smaller than Hannah! They GROW fast!

Silly face!

I love this one! I wish I didn't cut Hannah's pretty SMILE off!

A weekend with Nanny, Pappy, and Aunt Mo!

We had a great time this weekend with Nanny, Pappy, and Aunt Mo! We went to the mall for lunch on Friday and then went to La Caretta for dinner on Friday night! Saturday (day) Daddy had work and Mommy had work Saturday (night) so during the day Mommy, Nanny, Pappy, Aunt Mo and ORION took at easy at the Peaks of Otter Winery and the Peaks of Otter Lodge Resturant! We did a little wine tasting then enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL scenic drive up the mountain and Blue Ridge Parkway! The leaves were AWESOME and we had a great day!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Orion has been riding in heliocopters since he was 4 hours old! He is a PRO!

Future NASCAR driver!! ha! VROOM VROOM!

I love this picture!! Two handsome boys! Orion looks like his PAPPY!

Peak a Boo Mommy!

"I'm under here!!"

Aunt Heather is TOO good to Orion! Thanks for all the ice cream! ;-)

I love these eyes!!!

And that face!

Orion loves his Nanny so much! Look how happy he looks!!!

Nanny's angel!

This was actually when the day was just getting started!

A little wine tasting...we weren't pros but we faked it! Yeah for Aunt Mo and I venturing into the Super Hot Wine... heartburn anyone?!?

Little Devil... no little angel!

"I'm stealing this camera."

Blue Mountain!!! Welcome to the SOUTH!

Well, yet another great weekend here!! Beautiful weather and another great FESTIVAL! I am starting to think my grandmother is right.. maybe we are gypsies! ha! But seriously we had an awesome weekend! We took the camper out early on Saturday and enjoyed about 12 hours of music, food, and entertainment before cuddling up in our camper to beat the freezing temperature! IT WAS PERFECT! As usually Brian didn't meet any "strangers" and before long we were buddies with everyone! :-) Enjoy the pictures and videos!! The videos make us seem like total HILLBILLIES! Bluegrass music YEEHAA! Ha! Well after all we were in the "moon shine capital of the world" NO ONE let us forget that! Every one said (in a very southern accent) "Welcome to Franklin County Rocky Mount the Moon Shine Capital of the WORLD!" haha! Maybe they should discover a new claim to fame!

OH and a shout out for Blue Mountain!! Next year I want everyone to come out and join us!!

Brian chasing Orion around the campgrounds... check out that BEAUTIFUL yellow WESTY in the background!!

Orion running free!
He was all dressed for fall... I think he kinda looked like a pumpkin!
"Give me that camera mom!"
Running away from me with the camera case!! He was on the move all day!
Climbing up to drive! He is a little monkey! Or as he says MUM-key!

"Get down from there!" haha we were following him all day...someone asked if he was in his "twos" because his was "into every thing" NOPE he's just ORION!

Tickle fight in the back!! We had a pillow fight too but there aren't pictures, everyone had a pillow in hand! CHECK out his huge smile!! ha!
Orion enjoying the bed in the camper!

Aww...
For some reason I think he looks like my mom in this picture... she makes this face sometimes when she is thinking too! ha!

Dazed and confused...
BEAUTIFUL EYES!!!
We have to take the nobs off of everything... he wanted to turn the stove on!
MY BOYS!
"May I have this dance??"

Oh no, she didn't want to dance.
He will get her!! We aren't sure if he is chasing her or the balloons!
The stage! It was awesome!
Oh no, the broke up!

Orion and his new little girlfriend TILLY share a dance!
