Halloween Party Time

Trick or Treat!



Isaiah had his first Halloween party this weekend. It was a blast. We decorated pumpkins, frosted cookies, scarfed down chili boats, pounded on a pinata, and inhaled as much candy as possible. What a night. We are definitely going to have to make this one a Tosland Family tradition. Here are some pics from the party...


Arrggghhhhh! Yar in me way! Eventhough Captain Isaiah was feeling under the weather all weekend (he's fighting a cold), he still made an adorable, I mean, ferocious pirate baby. I think the snot drizzling from the nose only added to the spirit of the costume.


Jordan, Isaiah, Benjamin, and Lucas hang out in Isaiah's pirate grotto.


Everyone loved the delicious sugar cookies (baked from scratch by Tiffany), as well as the mobs of frosting and candy decor loaded on top.


Dorina and Meilani (cutest flower and butterfly mom and daugther costumes ever) decorate cookies with Krizia. Meilani was much more interested in eating the plate than the cookie. What a doll!


Its not a true party unless you have a mummy pinata (a powerranger wrapped strategically by Josh in toilet paper) to pound on. Benjamin sends the mummy flying across the yard with a huge swing.


The cutest little good witch in the west. Julia brews up some cute cookies to munch on during the party.

Isaiah and Mom

Finally got the Mommy and Me pictures done...
Isaiah is almost 10 months old already. Wow! This kid has my heart in his hands big time. What a doll.

Isaiah's First Horserace


Go Horsie Go!


Isaiah watches intensly during the showing of the horses before the race. He wants to be sure to carefully select which horse he wants Dad to put 5 bucks on.


Isaiah definitely gets into the competitive spirit of the race. If he could talk, I think he would be screaming "move your bloomin' arse."


The dramatization continues as Isaiah's horse of choices places and scores us an extra couple of bucks. What a great day at the Big Fresno Fair and at Isaiah's first horserace.

Happy Birthday Auntie!

Monday was Auntie Tiffany's birthday, and what better way to celebrate than with a homemade chocolate cake (made by Doug all by himself). Isaiah enjoys being in his Auntie's arms. When he sees her, he smiles, bounces, and claps his hands. What a great way to be greeted. He knows he's in good hands when Auntie is around. His cousins provide pretty good entertainment too.

Garden Girls


As beautiful as the roses they pick...

Julia and Ma Hawaii visited last weekend and spent some quality time picking a gorgeous bouquet of roses from our garden.

Go Bulldogs

Go Bulldogs!
They may be on a losing streak, but the Bulldogs still have two cheerful and all-weather fans.
