Boo at the Zoo

Last Thursday we took the boys to the Halloween party at the zoo, and this was the first year that both boys really had a blast. Luke thinks trick or treating is about the greatest thing ever and sweet-toothed Caleb is always up for some candy.

Our Storm Trooper and Darth Vader ("Darf Bader")

(Both boys picked out their own costumes this year.)

with Jackson & Harper

Caleb loved having conversations with the talking pumpkin but Luke was a little freaked out. It especially took him off guard when the pumpkin announced, "Luke, I am your father." Ha- We all laughed when I told the pumpkin that his name is actually Luke!

Hayden and Madalyn joined the bunch too.

The whole crew, watching the train pass by.

Caleb and his dance moves...

Proof I was there. ;)

Celebrating Nana's 90th Birthday

On October 6, we celebrated Nana's 90th birthday with a wonderful dinner at Marshma and Papa's house.

 My sweet friend, Nikki, made a beautiful banner for the evening. Thanks, Nikki!!

Somehow Marshma found orange and yellow tulips...in October.

The cake was almost too beautiful to eat!

The wild ones, also known as Luke, Matteo, and Caleb.

Beth had a bunch of pictures put on a digital frame for a gift and Caleb was quick to hop up in Nana's lap to watch them all.

Our little sweet-toothed toddler devoured his piece (or pieces!) of cake.

 The Family

Nana is blessed with four grandchildren, six great-grandchildren (We sure missed the "big" boys- Matt, Drew, Nathan & Garrett that evening.), two great-great grandsons, and a third great-great grandson on the way. 

One word: Blessed!

Happy Birthday, Nana!

Fun at Gallrein Farms

Last Friday we went to Gallrein Farms with PeePaw (he came in town for the boys' fall break) and had a blast. The weather was so beautiful and the boys loved all there was to do there.

I think they would have stayed at the petting zoo all day!

Apple cider donuts and mango slushies were the perfect snack. 

The giant hay pyramid

Luke hated the hay pit, but Caleb loved jumping in. 

We didn't want to wait for the hayride to the pumpkin patch so we grabbed a little wagon and took off. It was so much fun, although it did get a little hot out there. 

Luke found his keeper and was done. He wondered back to the wagon and waited for us to finish up.

Done.

Such a handsome boy!

Ben's Superhero Party

My little superheroes had a blast celebrating Ben's 4th birthday and they loved their capes that Ms. Alaina made for them!

Surprise, surprise...I found this guy helping himself to cookies when it was present time.
