Happy Halloween!

It was 76 degrees on Halloween - a first for Ft. Collins!



Trick-or-treating at Intel (this is Justin's luxury cubicle)


Riley was a ninja! (He's missing his mask.)



Jace was fascinated by all the monsters and spooky decorations. (He's the red-and-blue dragon at the top of the stairs.)



Jace knocking and saying "trick-or-treat!"


All the kids on our street went together. Riley is in the back row on the left, and Jace is on the far right.

Riley's Birthday!

Riley's day started off with mom and dad making a birthday breakfast . . .




After breakfast, mom and dad gave into The Negotiating Powers of Riley and allowed him to open one present . . .



Riley's cake with six candles . . .



Playing in the leaves after school with friends . . .

Autumn

In school, Riley had to write a story about his favorite thing to do in the fall. He said: Go to the pumpkin patch!



Riley throwing hay at the camera


Justin and Jace hunting for the perfect pumpkin. We always have a jack-o-lantern carving contest . . . and Becca always wins ;)



Jace wants to throw hay, too!


On top of the world.



Jace went into a state of 2-yr-old euphoria at the sight of a "big tractor." I'm pretty sure he would have stayed there all night, were that an option.

Summertime!

We stayed close to home this summer, but the boys enjoyed our neighborhood pool and all the fountains around town.


Riley learned to swim in the deep end . . .
















Vacation to Whidbey Island

Some pictures from our trip to Whidbey Island to visit Nana and Pop-pop.



Justin and Jace checking out sailboats



Jace trudging through sand . . . there were quite a few seashells



Riley had fun walking on the driftwood



Justin, Evan and Tod enjoying the ocean view

We're blogging!

Want the latest Fitzpatrick news? It's coming soon! This blog will be all-Fitzpatrick-all-the-time. And that's something even Jace can get excited about :)
