Finally

Quick update....

All in the Alva household are now free from sickness. (Knock on wood)

Hope fully we can keep this up through Thanksgiving and our trip to VA.

Sick, sick go AWAY!

Ok, so here is a recap of our week:

Day 1:
Katelynn fever, Brennon fever, Katelynn throw up, Brennon throw up

Day 2:
Katelynn coughing, Brennon diarrhea, Matt sick

Day 3:
Katelynn ear infection, Brennon coughing

Day 4:
Brennon throw up...... to be continued.......

Result: Two cranky kids, one cranky husband, and a very tired wife.
I love fall, but I hate all the sicknesses it brings, please go away!

Costume party

Katelynn is now at the age where she has to choose her costume. Drum roll please...... I bet you will never guess that she chose to ride a horse as a cowgirl. She had so much fun and of course had sound effects to go with it. I guess I had fun dressing her up the last few years in my favorites.... I thought it would be fun to see her in her costumes each year...

7 Months.... The ladybug
1 Year... Pink Poodle

2 Years... Fairy
3 Years... Elephant (I think she chose this one too)


4 Years... Cowgirl
Brennon was an Alligator this year. We found this adorable costume and I had to get it. I love how the head comes out the front and the tail comes out the back. Check out our slide show of other halloween pictures

Halloween has come and gone

Fun with the kids

We have been going on a lot of walks lately with the beautiful fall weather. Brennon has taken on the stroller habit and it may not be too manly, but it keeps him happy (and at least it's blue). It reminds me of Katelynn at his age and the countless neighborhood walks we went on with her stroller.
The kids have been having fun together and keeping each other entertained while I am in school.
I have been practicing hair styles on Katelynn and wanted her to have a braided crown. It actually turned out pretty cute and stayed all through church.

Time out has been the corner for both of our kids, but sometimes they just like to play in them.
