Sarah Palin gives Vince some candy

Vince and Mia recently attended a Trunk or Treat last night. Here's a video clip of Sarah Palin giving Vince some candy and telling him to remember where he got it from . . . and that little traitor still went and voted for Obama today.
The boys dive in for some candy . . .Mia trying to turn her ballerina costume into a "rockstar" look.

Mia and Haley patiently pose for pictures for their camera-obsessed mothers:

My Ballerina Girl!

Happy Birthday Tristen!!!!

A note from Vince to his blog fans, Tristen and Ashton:
Hi guys! Had fun partying with you yesterday! Since you like the blog, I thought I would put some more pics of you here! Me with the birthday boy:Ashton and I brave the obstacle course:

P.S. Mia wanted to add:

Pumpkin Patch '08

Wow! What happened to my baby in one year?!?Vince insisted on sitting beside his buddy, Evan, for the hayride!The boys get right to work in search of THE pumpkin. Vince was very determined to get the right one this year and very much against taking a break for pictures.But after a few threats to his livelihood, he paused for a couple of minutes of photos . . . and pulling his sister's earMia couldn't chooose just one pumpkin. She liked them all:Vince really liked the corn playland. When he came out, Jim had to turn him upside down to shake all the corn out of his clothes. I'm still picking up corn from my carpet.Vince checks out the teepee . . .. . . while Mia checks out her Daddy!
Turn your audio up to hear how much Vince enjoyed the slide:

Mia's half a year old!

Mia is outgrowing the recliner! Weight: 18lb. 4 oz. (75%)

Height: 27in. (90%)

Where is this long baby getting her height from? She has tried a few baby foods but hasn't been too super-excited about any so far. She mainly wears the food. Makeup already?

Here's video from 10pm last night of Mia (a.k.a. Thumper) summoning her servants. This is how she typically lets us know she is ready to get up. I don't even bother with the baby monitor much because I can hear this thump from downstairs with the TV on!!!! Not so cute at 3am.
