Happy Halloween!

We kicked off the Halloween festivities with a fun "parent" costume party with highschool friends on Saturday night,

then today the kiddos got to celebrate!

Owen had a blast trick-or-treating with his pal Beckham the UPS man, and is thrilled with his loot.

Happy Halloween!

It's Halloween! (At preschool)

Today our scarecrow made his debut at his preschool Halloween party!

He and the tinman led the class 'parade',


then it was time for some classroom fun and a yummy Halloween snack.

Baby sister found it all very interesting. Kinda.

We had a great time

and are ready for more Halloween!

The pumpkin patch

We've made it to the pumpkin patch a few times this fall and it is always a fun time! Here are some highlights of our favorite things to do there... #1: the moonbounce. And we could stop there.

Picking pumpkins... or other things.

Posing with the spooks.

And just taking it all in.

We're loving fall!

Sound-off

The other night, battling a cold, Grace couldn't sleep so she stayed up late with us. She was quite vocal and quickly drowned out the tv. Either this was her way of complaining that she didn't feel well or her best impressions of wounded animals. Either way, Kyle joined in and it became a game. Here's a clip of what was a very long 'sound-off'.

Swings!

Happy Bday!

Mommy marks another year today and is so very happy to celebrate it with wonderful family and friends.

I feel very blessed and thankful.

Happy Half-Birthday Grace!

Our little pumpkin turned 6 months today. (Wow, that happened fast!) Gracie is a true joy and we love her more and more everyday.

We asked Grace to share some thoughts on this special day.

Note: blowing raspberries is baby for "my parents rock!"
