Thanksgiving

We had a great long Thanksgiving weekend.  Thanksgiving day we went & celebrated with Barrett's family at his parents house.  Mitchell, Stephanie, & Hudson were there & it was great getting to hang out with them.  The boys of course were all over their cousin Hudson.  After stuffing ourselves silly we headed off to the ranch that evening.  On Saturday night we took all of the kids, including Adeline to the Marble Falls Trail of Lights.  It was wonderful & relaxing spending several nights away.  

 

Wyatt's Baptism

We had Wyatt baptized a couple of weekends ago & it was such a special day.  We had a ton of family come in for the celebration.  After church we all went to lunch & then came back to our house for some cake.  Barrett's mom had found a picture of his cake from his baptism & had a replica made for Wyatt!  It was yummy!  

Happy 4th Birthday Max!

I can't believe Max is FOUR!  He has been planning his birthday since last spring.  Max loves the game Angry Birds and after a visit to HEB this spring where he saw not only an Angry Birds balloon, but also an Angry Birds cake he decided he had to have an Angry Birds birthday party!  What can I say?  He must take after his mom- planning parties way in advance...  :-)

We had a fun day celebrating at Jumpy Place with his friends & family.  Family came over afterwards to celebrate & of course open more gifts!  

On his actual birthday the boys' school was having a fundraiser night at Peter Piper Pizza.  So we did some additional celebrating at PPP.  We had never visited PPP before & the boys had a blast!  And when I say boys I mean Barrett, Max, & Dean.  I'm pretty sure Barrett had more fun than the kids!  It was so cute watching him play all of the games with Max & Dean.  Wyatt did his favorite thing- sleep!  After PPP we came home for some strawberry cake (Max's choice) & presents. 

 nice shot Max!!

Halloween

Barrett was out of town for Halloween this year, but the kids & I met up with friends for some trick-or-treating fun!  I was nervous about taking 3 kids trick-or-treating on my own, but we had a great time!!  The kids got a ton of candy & ended the night by telling me "no more houses momma".  I think they were completely worn out!  

Costume Parade

The boys had their annual costume parade & they were both so cute.  Dean was Bamm Bamm (from the Flintstones) & Max was a fire fighter.  Pics didn't turn out wonderful, but you'll get the idea!

Pumpkin Patch

Barrett & I took the boys to a "farm" pumpkin patch in Marble Falls several weeks ago.  The farm as a huge pumpkin patch, hay rides, train rides, painting, horse rides, & much more!  The local fire department even had their truck there for all the kids to climb on.  It was packed & very hot, but the boys had a great time & it was a fun day.  Max was so excited to go on a horse ride & Dean was so excited to do it too, until he got up to the horse.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  Poor little Dean was terrified!
