Welcome Josslyn Ann Farley!!!

Jana had her baby last Saturday! It was fun to finally find out that it was a girl! I was hoping for a girl because if they had a boy then it would be 4 boys against Jules in our family. I was lucky to get to be up in Seattle for her birth and get to spend time with the kids. She is just beautiful! Definately looks like Jules when she was born accept less grumpy looking. But poor Jules was stuck behind Jana's pelvic bone for 5 hours before they had to do an emergency C-section, so I think that would make anyone look grumpy. Jace and Jules love her! They are so sweet and gentle. Jules would hold her and kept saying to her, "hey girl, hows my sissy'? It was so cute! We are so happy she is finally with us. She was 8lbs 6oz, 21 1/4 inches long. More hair than Jules and Jace had combined. What fun!!! I love babies.

Trunk or Treat

So we had Bob the Builder, Raggady Any and a Pumpkin for this years costumes. Arent they stinking cute!!! Bob the Builder (Eliot) went out Trick or Treating with his friend Koda (Dakota) and she dressed up as a Lady Bug. They only went to a few peoples homes but Lindsay and Michelle (Dakota's Mom) would prompt them to say trick or treat but they would say,"thank you" instead. Isnt that cute!
Jules and Jace's church has what they call Trunk or Treat every year. People in the church decorate the trunks of their cars and put games and such in them. Then they park them in the parking lot and the kids go around playing games and getting candy. Jana said that they got there a little early so they just walked around waiting for it to start. Jace and Jules got a few peices of candy before they started Trunk or Treating and so Jana said they could eat some. Julia took out a small sucker and that is all she had but Jace ate M&M's, a Reeces pieces stick, a small hershey bar and skittles before Jana caught on to him! LOL!! He takes after me.... I just love candy and have no self control!

Jules thought it was hilarious that she got to be a boy like her Dad and Brother for the night. Oh, kids! You gotta love them.

More Beach....The Kids

I dont know how we had fun at the beach before we had the kids around! In the pictures where the boys are throwing money into the fountain, we ended up running out of change. So Jace and Eliot started taking the money out of the fountain and throwing it back in. Some random lady made a comment that they were taking out other people's wishes. What??? Random! People really believe that?? It wasnt like they are adults taking out the money and buying coffee with it.

Owen Thomas Beal!!!!

Jay and Lins had their baby boy yesterday at 5:44pm. He is 7lbs 7oz and 19 inches long. Isnt he cute! I think he looks like Jay. I dont think he looks like Eliot when he was born. But I could be wrong....it happens once in a while :)
This is the only picture I have for now, hopefully I will get more soon. Its times like these when being down here in Colorado becomes less fun! I wish I could be there to meet my new nephew!
I love you guys! Congratulations!!!!!

More to come...

I have so much more to post, but my butt is numb and its time for me to go to bed :)Tata for now!

Seaside!!

Every year we go to Seaside for an evening of Skee Ball and Elephant Ears. The cool thing about Cannon Beach is that they passed a law years ago that no commercial business could come into the area so its all mom and pop shops. I love that about Cannon Beach. Seaside on the other hand is not that way so they have lots of loud arcades to go to and things to do.
As you can see Julia did not like that ride, Jace does whatever Julia does and Eliot was thinking,"I dont see what the big deal is? My cousins are whimps!" But they all liked the Merry Go Round so everyone left happy. There seem to be a lot of photos of me, all taken at the Elephant Ear shop......

Cannon Beach Bakery

The Cannon Beach Bakery has been around forever. One of our favorite stops in the week. Jace loved his doughnut! He ate all the chocolate off the top then handed the half eaten doughnut to his mom went around to everyone looking for another doughnut with chocolate. The love of suger sure starts young :)
