Halloween

I don't know if it was just me or not but Halloween went on for days and days!! We started with a party on Thursday and then school parties Fri followed by a trick or treat at Racine Law office (thanks Dana for inviting us) and then some trunk or treating on Sat (we hit 2)!

For school Sheldon dressed up as a cheerleader (still need to get the pictures since I didn't have my camera) and Shelby was a 50's girl (so fitting). Then Sheldon said no to dressing up again and went as a football player (big stretch for him!)


Lexi was a fairy princess, pretty cute with a little sass!


Luke was a SWAT agent on Friday and then Spiderman for the trunk or treats.

Another Birthday BOY!

Luke turned 3!! This was a big day in the Romriell household...Luke has been begging and begging for his birthday to get here so he can be 4. That's right I said 4, so there was some disappointment when we had to keep telling him that he was only 3.

We started the day with a little present at breakfast, a Lightning McQueen car. He was so HAPPY! Next up was a Spiderman cake and more PRESENTS!! What a lucky kid!!

We celebrated his birthday on Sunday with his cousin Lance, such a great time. He got a special Spiderman cupcake cake that he kept leaning all the way down to get a SMELL. It was after a few times of doing this that I realized he was LICKING the tops of them.



Luke is an amazing and very busy little guy. He is on the GO from morning till night when he finally PASSES out. The only one of our children that I think is SO sweet when he is ASLEEP (it's the only moment I have to take a breath). Luke is definitely the baby of the family (even though he is sure Ella's the baby), so much fun to have around, FUN FUN FUN, Lexi's best friend, Shelby's favorite little guy and Sheldon's little buddy. We are so grateful to have you in our family, you bring excitement to every day!

Sheldon turned 10!!

Hard to believe that my baby is already 10!! I can still remember the day he was born and the excitement and joy Matt and I shared knowing our little family was just beginning. From the 1st day he has wowed us (9 lbs 8ozs, 22 1/2 in.)!! Sheldon is thoughtful, caring, smart, athletic, handsome and above all a great example.

For his birthday I always ask what special dinner he wants and what kind of birthday cake he wants. This year he requested meatball sandwiches (the ones we make at home) and nothing special for his cake. Such big demands...what is a mom to do?? Because he, of course, had football practice we had an early dinner of meatball sandwiches & then he took cupcakes to his entire team. We were able to celebrate with a brownie cake and ice cream football on Sunday!

Always a boy, Sheldon eats, sleeps and dreams football. When he isn't doing that it's all about basketball, what his favorite sports teams are doing and how he can pick his Uncle Cody's brain with strategies. He has such a strong testimony of the Gospel and is always willing to share it. Sheldon loves spending time throwing a ball (any ball) around with his little brother Lucas and his Dad. He is truly an example to all of us, his little sisters' hero and BIG BROTHER!
