Ian celebrated his 41st birthday this year! Whoo hooo! We got little cupcakes for the kids to have so they could have 'cake'. Ian requested pie...so I picked one up from Fife and Dekel (a local pie and sandwich stuff that is completely awesome!!)
One of the local fire halls had an open house in September. They had one almost 2 years ago as well (I think there are pictures on the blog from that visit as well). Jackson wanted to wear his fireman costume.
Jessica wore the Dalmation Puppy costume for Halloween this year (Jack wore the same one 2 years ago). She did such a good job trick or treating this year - remembered to say thank you at almost every house! A few times she forgot to say 'trick or treat' and instead started with 'can I have a candy?'...lucky for her she's cute so everyone thougth it was funny...she could have kept going all night - her and her little friend A.J. had endless energy. Jackson and his friend Shelley (Shelley is in this picture as well, she is A.J.'s sister, and she and Jack have been buddies since they were 1 year old...apparently Shelley told her mom that she is going to marry Jack when they grow up!) both got tired about 1/2 way through the night!
