Show Us Your Halloween

I am participating in "Kelly's Korner" carnival again this week.
Here is a walk down our kids' Halloween Memory Lane...

Jack at 4 weeks old in 2004.
Cutest.Stinker.Ever.

Jack (1) and Will (5 weeks) in 2005.
This started matching costumes. Goes right along with my campaign to dress them alike FOREVER! Cluck says the chicken and quack says the sleepy duck!

Sesame Street was a hit in our house with a 1 and 2 yr. old in 2006.
Jack as Elmo and Will as a not-so-sure-about-this-costume-
Big Bird.

Anyone who knew Andy in college knows his nickname was Goose.
What is more appropriate than Maverick (Jack) and Goose (Will)
for Halloween? Here they are with the Goshorn crew and neighbors in 2007.
We live in Cincy, hence the "Bengal Jailbird"; Aunt Leslie Kitty and,
yes, my Father-in-Law as "The King." A huge hit in the neighborhood.

With the addition of Cade and Brooke in 2008 the "matching" extended to 4!
We were "buggy" about our trick-or-treaters:
Jack as a spider, Cade as a caterpillar, Will as a bee and Brooke as a ladybug.

This year we are headed to Indy with our "Justice League" to enjoy the festivities.
I will upload pics this weekend of our "heroes" Batman, Superman, Spiderman and Wonder Woman.

Have a great Halloween Weekend and head on over to Kelly's Korner for more fun!

My Baby is Growing Up

I truly can't believe I have these in my possession...
Where did 5 years go?

Jack Goshorn
Age 5
Pre-Kindergarten '09-'10

Is he handsome or what?
Or, as Jack would ask,
"Do I look cool?"

The Words of a 4 Year Old...Again

Anyone who knows Peg Goshorn (My MIL and one of my BFFs)
knows she has to have a drink with her
AT. ALL. TIMES.

So this little comment proved to me today that
Will is truly a Goshorn.

We had just dropped Jack off at school.
It is approx. 918am:
"WWWHHOOO. I am thirsty. We need to go to McDonald's
and get me a drink. I need a juice box."

And tonight at the dinner table:
"Yeah. Chicken makes you nice and helfy."
I think he meant to say healthy.

But you get the point.

Home again, home again...

We got back from our nice, long vacation this afternoon.
I must say, my children did EXCELLENT!
With the exception of the "incident" on the way down, the kids did a lot better than I thought they would.
So here's to Spring Break '10 - Texas or Bust!
(To visit Uncle Jon and Aunt Molly)

We went to the beach, collected shells, played golf, had great meals, good times with good family and friends AND....
both boys learned to SWIM! No more floaties! YEAH!

A few pics I love...
