Happy Halloween!

Evan LOVES fire fighters (especially Uncle Pete), so his costume was a no-brainer. But what should Payton be… hmm… how about a SUPER cute dalmatian. 

So here is our adorable fire fighter and cute dalmatian. :)

We went to a Trick-or-Treat celebration downtown Castle Rock with some friends (Hailey and James). It was fun going to all the shops and Trick-or-Treating down the streets. It started out pretty nice out, but the weather turned. It got windy and cold really fast. Poor Evan was shaking while holding onto his bag of candy. So we decided to call it quits and get some hot chocolate. 

But when Daddy came home, it was time fore MORE Trick-or-Treating. Payton and I went around the block once and had to go back home. Then after dinner Evan and Daddy went out TWO more times. He LOVES Halloween. Not because of the candy. But because of the "Ha-lo-een ly-tes." Luckily, we live in a community that goes all out for Halloween; lights, noise makers, spiders, grave yards… etc.

We hope you had a safe Halloween!

Love,

The Winters

Zoo Day with Daddy!

Payton Ely Winter

We welcomed a healthy, beautiful baby girl into the world on July 11, 2013 weighing in at a whopping 7lbs 13oz (bigger than her brother) and 21 inches long! 

Introducing…

Payton Ely Winter

And for those of you wondering, her middle name is pronounced "El-ee" (it is the female version of Eli, which is a family name on the Hermanson side)

Labor was intense. But I had a good support system! :)

And as for Evan, he loves his baby sister! :)

 King still isn't too sure he likes ANOTHER baby to pick on him. 

It has been awhile...

Sorry it has been so long since I updated last.

Lots have been going on since we moved back to Colorado. We are in the process of buying a house, having a baby and enjoying time with family.

So here is a photo "catch-up"

 

We visited Uncle Pete at the fire station!

Well, that is all I have for you now.

We are still waiting for Winter Baby #2 to arrive. So I will post pictures once he/she makes his/her grand entrance! :)
