Another Month gone by!

 Happy FALL! I love our big pumpkin.. Papa surprised us with one! I have already had one smashed, I am thinking those rug rats tried to take this one but could not lift it.. really, what is the fun in pumpkin smashing? I wanted to put a  sign out that said " Have gun, will shoot pumpkin stealers..." but Z said that would just invite more. makes me so mad! Sweet Wyatt said, "Mom maybe it was because they did not have a pumpkin and we have three so they needed one, and it slipped out of their hands when they were trying to get in the car. We are suppose to share." I love his heart, EJ and were ready to be on the watchout all night to catch them!f

 A few seasonal pictures.. I took full advantage of "Orange day" I love theme days. it makes getting dresses so easy and fun in our house.

 Growing up.. WAY too fast... so big! Happy Orange Day! f

Just hanging around! Playing in Daddy's gym

 A fun ride! and good workout!

 Pull that tire.. this is what you do when they have too much energy!

 Abs... I need to learn how to do this, why to kids make it look so easy?!

 "Yellow" Day.. in our Belle dress

 Marissa's BDay party.. she had the Chick Fil A hookup.. Very cute.

 dancing with the cow

 cow games

 I know, this dress is a little "Little house on the prairie!"

 Looks like love, but it is really a choke hold then down to the ground.

 

Children's Fun Run.. always a sweet, fun event for a great cause. Midland Rehab center provides all kids of services and therapy for free to those in need. Great Family Fun Day.

EJ off on the run...

 There goes Wyatt!

 Wyatt actually surprised me with his hula hoop skills, I could never do it, he can!

 Papa made a surprise visit to see the kids run

 Line up!

 

 Daddy.. say cheese in the sun!

What have we been up too?! Soccer, Gymnastics, CBS, Birthday parties, Crossfit, Girls weekend, Football, and good old family time. I love Fall.. It is slowly starting to feel like fall. The kids love school, we are blessed with two wonderful teachers. This month flew by, but don't they all?! We have celebrated many birthdays.. still the favorite activity of the kids. Each time we go the ride home is always a discussion of what theirs is going to be like.. it has changed 100 times. This month we had hello kitty parties,dinosaur hunts,  Chick fil a.. the cow even showed up, and fireman.. where the kids got to ride around the block in a fire truck. Hard to beat! Wyatt asked his daddy one day, " Why can't you be something cool, like a fireman or policeman!"  They are heroes at all ages!
I had a wonderful Girls weekend that I did not realize how much I needed it until I went! My  Emily planned the entire thing, we were all told to meet in Houston and get on a flight at 10 am.. We had no idea where we were going. It was so much fun.. she had a limo waiting when we arrived at the airport and took up to a wonderful little get away called Amelia island. I could seriously live there. It was peaceful, beautiful and memorable! The girls made the trip. It was Em's sister in law (My adopted Sister in law), her neighbor (good friend), Em and me. We laughed so much it hurt. We meet the locals, we ate like queens, drank like college students, and did whatever we wanted. No schedule, no kids, no whining. Can you tell I am ready to go back?! This will become a annual event. Girl time is a necessity.. I just forgot how much of one!  Zach had the kids and did a great job so I really will not worry so much next time about leaving!
