Halloween

This year we had a wonderful Halloween.  It was a day full of Halloween parties, costume parades, monster cookies, trick-or-treating with our favorites, and handing out candy. 

Reese was going to be the butterfly fairy, but after finding out that she really couldn’t sit down in that tulle skirt, we opted for her rainbow from a few years ago.  She was happy to wear that to school so it worked out. 😉

After her party, we went to Brooks’ school for his costume parade.  My sweet boy (for some reason) did not want to put his costume on, so this Mama didn’t make him.  He walked the halls of the parade and collected his candy as his sweet self.

That evening, Emma Grace and Jack came to our house to trick-or-treat.  We had a great time with family and neighbors. It was SUPER cold, but we toughed it out for about an hour and then came back to the house to pass out candy.

I love our neighborhood!!

It was a fun-filled holiday for the whole crew.  And this was totally me at every.single.house.

Happy Halloween!!!

Halloween Costumes

This Halloween we have a beautiful Butterfly Fairy and the cutest Red Dragon 

We're excited for ALL the parties, candy, trick-or-treating, and FUN ahead!!

Silver Dollar City...or BUST!

Last Saturday, Mom, Kyndall and I took all 7 kiddos to SDC.  Landon and Brandi have now been in China (adopting Jude) for a little over one week.  They will not be back until November 1, so we’re entertaining their 3 as best as possible.  We had a great day together...a little wild...but great!😍

The theme of Pumpkin Nights is going on there and it was really cool.  I wish we could’ve stayed through the evening when it got dark, but it would’ve just been too much.  We were there for about 6 hours and had a lot of fun!

Fall Family Pictures

We had our Fall pictures taken about a week ago, and I loved how they turned out.  Kara Johnson does such an amazing job with my little crew, every. single. time. 

The ones below are not edited, but I still love them. 

I can't believe these kiddos are getting so big!  I'm thankful for every single day with them, and that man beside me, who will always be my one true love.
