Eden decided she wanted to be a cowgirl after we bought the black boots in our school shopping. She thinks they're cowgirl boots, and I wasn't going to argue. The hardest thing to find was a cheap cowgirl hat (there are lots of places around here that sell nice 'real' western hats, even for kids). Luckily I found hers at the seasonal Halloween store in the mall for $8, so her costume was pretty cheap and pretty easy. Andrew had said he wanted to be a padawan, so I was going to make a brown cloak like he used in his Jedi training at Disneyland, and he already has a light saber. But, being the indecisive 4-year-old boy that he is, he kept changing his mind. We ended up buying the Boba Fett costume, at least he's happy! Jake is a tiger (Andrew's old costume, actually from the last time Scott was deployed). Coincidentally, Scott is deployed with the Tigers right now!
This was the best 'portrait' I got during our 'photo session'. At least cute kids look good even if the photographer has zero skill.
Andrew is pretending to be dead, I thought it was pretty funny.
Strike a pose!
And this is the best evidence I can provide that Jacob has decided walking is actually kind of fun (finally, at 16 months!). I have some cute video clips but can't get them to load on Blogger or YouTube. Sorry Daddy!

Love the costumes! Brenna is a cowgirl this year too (she's actually Jessie from Toy Story) but she HAD to have a pink hat (not red)...except I got hers at the dollar store, it's foam :)
I can't believe how big Jake is!
I showed Brenna and Eli these pictures of your kids all dressed up and they had to go get their costumes on and run around the house for an hour. It'll be so fun to see you guys in a couple of months!
Your kids look cute in their costumes!
Cute costumes. Look at Jacob! So big.
your kids are so cute Lani! It's good to catch up a little! Eden looks like a little you!
