Lately...

Sorry, I haven't posted anything! Now I am going to catch up. Thanksgiving was wonderful. We were able to spend it with both of our families. The weekend following Thanksgiving our lovely niece Kennedy had her third birthday party! I can't believe she is 3. Our little ones are growing up so fast. Here are some pictures:

Sweet little Kayla walking with her great grandpa.

Happy Birthday Grandpa! Grandpa taking a look at the book Holly made for him. She did such a great job!

Halloween

We took it easy on Halloween. The kids got so much candy the night before. We went to the trunk or treat at Grandmothers church. Austin and Kayla got to play a bunch of fun games.
Bumblebee tossing the horseshoes!

Day before Halloween

The day before Halloween was pretty busy for us. Austin had a Halloween party at school and I helped out and made the party favor bags for all the kids. Then Gingers mom told me that downtown Midlothian was having an event for the kids. They sure did get tons and tons of candy from it! Wow it was really fun. I am definitely going next year.

Here is Austin eating and listening to a story.

The class.

Halloween Party

The kids went to a Halloween party at our friend Sierra's house. She really knows how to decorate for Halloween. Austin enjoyed playing with all the different Halloween decorations, but Kayla was a little hesitant at first. Austin and Kayla had cookies for a snack, decorated a pot to plant pumpkin seeds and left with a Halloween treat bag. Of course they enjoyed running around and being crazy with friends. (P.S.- I forgot to reset the date on my camera after I changed the battery, so that is why it says 1-1-2003 on the photos.)

Austin and Kayla before we left for the party. Kayla is being goofy.

Say "Cheese".

Austin & Xander playing a Monster Match game.

Sierra had this life size freaky talking skeleton and when I took this photo it went off and Kayla was a little scared. But, later on she was just fine. Love the expression.

Outside watching Sierra cut the pumpkin and carve it, so the kids could get pumpkin seeds.

Group photo.

Owen, Austin, and Conrad playing with a skeleton in an electric chair. One of the many decorations.

TrUnK or TrEaT

I took the kids to a Classic Car Trunk or Treat in Uptown Village. Austin liked looking at all the cars. This Halloween Austin chose to be Bumblebee and Kayla is Super Girl. It was fun the kids got candy and popcorn. They got to see Winnie the Pooh, Elmo, Dora and Diego.

And now with Dora...

Austin really liked this car because it was just like "Flo" from the movie Disney Pixar Cars. They even let him sit inside.

Another pic with the car.

The kids by a car like Bumblebee. Awesome!

Austin & Kayla again...

1st day of M.D.O. for Kayla

Little Kayla had her first day of mother's day out. She was all smiles. Ms. Kim is her teacher and said she was wonderful. The director of the school Mrs. Tina said Kayla was excellent and had a great first day. She will go on Fridays for what the school considers Friday Fun, it is for siblings.

Our little Kayla ready to go.

Too cute :)

So excited to be at school!

Pumpkin Farm

We took a trip with my friends Andrea, Sierra and their kids to Mainstay Farm in Cleburne, Tx. They had a great pumpkin patch and lots of things to do. It rained on us for a little bit, but we didn't mind at all! The kids loved running around and jumping on the hay bales, to enjoying a very fun hay ride. Austin couldn't wait to pick out his pumpkin he only asked me about ten times. On the other hand Kayla couldn't decide on a pumpkin.

Kayla climbing all over the hay.

Austin with his pumpkin. He was super excited.

I know my photography is awesome. I see so many pictures these days on professional websites where the people aren't looking at the camera and look serious. Well this is what I captured with the kiddos. ha ha.

Austin roasting his marshmallows.

Kayla roasting her marshmallows. Neither of the kids really like marshmallows.

Say cheese! Our cute little curly haired princess.
