Fall Camping

Macy had to ride Dylan's old bike because she wore hers out, even if she looked a wrieck she was still super cute.

Avery was very focused on her beautiful pumpkin painting. They kept busy doing crafts the whole weekend, it wore Kylie and I out because as soon as one craft is done they were ready for the next one.

Dylan was really impressed with these. He was wanting to show his dad, they were at the campfire drinking a beer while Kylie and I took the kids to the nature center. LOL.

Dylan was so tired on the hayride I thought he was going to fall asleep. We had to keep talking to him so he would keep his eyes open.

Here is the only picture I managed to get with whole group. They were really good and they really did actually get along as well as it looks in this picture.

Okay, as Megan keeps reminding me I am the world worst blogger. Michael moved our computer to the basement and just got us back online, and I have been lazy. SO we are going back a little ways here. But at the begining of October we went camping with our friends the Thane and Kylie and family. We had a great weekend. I just cannot say enough how much I love to camp. The kids are so great to watch and their little bodies are so tired when you lay them down. We got to have some time without the kids in the evening after they retired to sit by the fire and have some drink. Thane and Kylie are so laid back that we seem to do well with each others kids. Hopefully we can keep doing this and giving our kids some great traditions to look back on.

This is the first year Dylan would stick his hand inside of his pumpkin. It used to gross him out.

This is really blurry and I am not sure why but Dawson thought he was pretty cool getting all of those guts out on the first try.

The kids went to Nana and Papa's to carve pumpkins this year. They also got to get their goody bags, do crafts and eat lots of fun food. I know I have siad this before, but it can be repeated again, my kids are so lucky to have their Papa and Nana. I don't know if you can read the chalk board but it says Five Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Fence. They each got PJ's, a Bakugan ( I guess these are cool now)a sticker book and other goodies. Dylan told Kris she was the greatest Nana ever, he said it with a mouth full of dessert so Dawson had to translate for him, but it was still really sweet.

Little Swimmers

Swimming is still going well. I like to take any opportunity that I can to get a photo of all three of them together. They grow so fast and looking back on these pictures will be so fun someday....atleast Dylan doesn't have to wear a Speedo.

We have so much fun during Halloween in our family, so costumes are kind of a big deal. We unfortunately are also procrastinators, so we were running around like crazy trying to figure out what we were going to wear. Macy hated being Raggedy Anne, she was pulling for the duck costume. Dylan had a cow but Mike and him thought that it was too girly. We had to go out and get some hunting stuff around, but he loved it in the long run. Maddie liked hers too. Here we are posing with our cousins at Nana's.

Macy was so sad to have to be Raggedy Anne

Soccer

Dylan loved playing soccer. He was excited every day to go and never got tired of it. He was funny though because on a couple of the hot days when the coach would ask for volunteers to sit out he would always raise his hand. It was a really a good experience for him.

Neal and Bev's Fall Chilli Party

Bev and Neal had a really fun fall party this year. The kids all had so much fun. We enjoyed the the warm bonfire and everyone was really tired, even mommy.

The little girls were all huddled together. Avery, Macy, Morgan and Reece all looked adorable. They loved each other the whole night. They were all so good.

Mason, Maddie and Jana are all trying to stay warm on the hay ride.

This is an awesome fall picture of Macy that I took at Bev and Neal's pond at their fall chilli party. The background is so perfect it does not even look real. I love it, she looks so happy. The kids all enjoyed the hay ride a lot. They even talked Neal into taking them again. We have such a great group of friends.

Silly Faces

The kids grew their pumpkins and mom could not wait for them to come and decorate them. We got some really cute pictures and the kids were really proud of their finished the projects. They love hanging out in the barn with the goats and cats.
