An Early Fall


Trick or treat!

We found a little boy under all that hair.


This is what happens when the kids don't stay out of the way while Daddy is raking.

A funny face in the fallen foliage

Family fall fun

They love their daddy!

Family artwork.
Jayden drew the head and the "hair" (the red lines)
Mommy drew the face and hand
Daddy drew the scrubs
Good job team!

Carter showing off his creation

And another

Carter cut a hole out of this box with this little plastic toy knife (aka no sharp edges whatsoever).
Persistent when he wants to be.

Carter and his buddy found this big stick and carried it all the way over from those trees in the far background.
They later set it up on the playground as a "baby trap."
Mom put a stop to that.

Where is Carter?
(hint: he is the only kid upside-down)

The next day.

Little miss cutie.  She looks so innocent.......

.....Until she finds the super glue.
.....And the sanding block.
(That is our car by the way)

But she always gets out of trouble.

She's good about helping Daddy with the car.

And helping with dinner.
And she always remembers her civic duty.

We chased this fly all over the house with our fly swatter.
It found it's end on a single strand of spider web.

The beard is ready to go.  Next week we get the belly.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Carter chose how to decorate for his birthday.
He chose a ninja obstacle course.

He also chose his breakfast.  Birthday hot dog breakfast!


Birthday hot chocolate!

Going on a birthday adventure into the deep dark forest.

Mommy told them to show her their most scared faces.

Carter was super excited about his light sabers.

Who knew the Hulk and Spiderman were Jedi Knights?

A spooky birthday cake.

"Powerful you have become.  The dark side I sense in you."

Daddy's helpers

Catching grasshoppers with Davy Crockett



Jaker's Jack-o-Lanterns

"A 20-foot tower of pumpkins?  Not impressed"

"I got"

Carter found one he likes

A huge pit of corn kernels.  What more could a kid want?

Jayden loved to hide her toes in the corn.

"Wheeeeee!"

We made it through the corn maze, but Jayden wasn't impressed with the corn she found there.


After getting home, this little girl was exhausted.  While she was napping, Mommy found Jayden had filled all the pockets of the backpack with corn kernels.


Pasture Day!

Getting ready to ride the dirtbike.

We're good to go!!

We didn't get a good picture of it, but Jayden LOVED riding the horse!

Giddy up, cowboy!

The kids getting ready for a ride on the trailer.
