Halloween

Halloween!!!  The kids have been counting down the days, crossing each day off the calender in anticipation of this day and it's finally here!!!  

Lilly wanted to be Merida from Brave this year.  Lilly loves the princesses who kick but and don't need to be rescued.  She is such a brave little girl!  There were a lot of scary houses this year while we were trick-or-treating and non of them scared her!  She even went so far as to tell the people dressed in scary costumes that they didn't scare her!

Matthew wanted to be a fire fighter this year.  This is one of the things he wants to be when he grows up!  My poor sweet sensitive boy we a little scared by some of the more spooky houses we visited. 

Jack-Jack was a paramedic this year just like daddy!!  

Our carved pumpkins!!

Pumpkin Patch

We took our traditional trip to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins and enjoy all the fall activities offered at Murray Family Farms.   

As always the kids favorite is the giant jumping pillow!!!!

They also loved the hay ride!

Auntie Momo is Home

Merrie is home from her mission and the kids have be so excited to have her back, with the exception of Jackson.  He is hard to win over but she's working hard to get on his good side! 

Fall Fun

Matthew started 1st grade this year, and Lilly is in Pre-K.  Matthew is also in enrichment at Valley Oaks, and they let Lilly come and participate if I'm there helping.  They love going to their Wednesday classes! 

We went on our traditional apple picking trip!   

We took the old two kids to the fair this year.  We met the Deason's there and had a super fun night!!

We celebrated Grandpa's birthday!!

Our Princess is 4!

Where has the time gone?! Our sweet little baby girl is 4!  She is such a sweet and helpful little girl!  She loves to help me with everything.  She is very artistic and a little OCD.
