Gone fishin'

The G man caught a big one this morning. The annual Halloween parade was today, and he was all set. Mary walked in it too, but it was NOT HER THING. The thought of walking in front of a bunch of crazy parents who have cameras and looking at her is TRAUMATIC. Poor kid.

Pumpkin patch

Em and I ran over to the pumpkin patch after school today. I'm SOO far behind on blogging. This weekend was FULL of FALL. My parents, grandparents, brother (and fam) were all here for Abbott's baby dedication. We had a GREAT time, but I haven't had time to even look at the pics. I guess I'll be blogging backwards this week. Here are a few pics from the patch....a sweet friend met us there with her three kiddos. 

The last two pics of the girls are my favorites! I found the candy corn ribbon at walmart and sewed it on white t-shirts which I had monogrammed. They can wear them this week, and then I can rip off that ribbon and replace it with Christmas...ha!

Holy Holy Holy

I caught this during bath time tonight.  Made me smile so big!

Kid pics

The kids have all had school pictures taken in the last few weeks. I plop them out on the porch the morning of, and for the price of a milky way chocolate bite, I usually can squeeze a good picture out of them just in case:)

This one was taken one day after school while we were outside playing, but I loved it because it's her REAL smile.

That's the milky way payment smile, but still a sweet one.

Garrett even fell for it.

Those teeth are going to have BRACES pretty soon.  Big mouth/little mouth...yes the two can coincide.

Friday was fifty's day at school. With a couple of texts, I found this CUTE outfit to borrow from a friend! Allie was more than thrilled:)

Hmmm.......

...I think I'll join them.

Happy Fall...Razorback style

I found a pig on a pumpkin...and had to have it. I texted hubs a pic and informed him it cost $70. About an hour later, he texted back and said, "I kinda want it." Well I didn't think he "$70" wanted it, but I turned around and decided I was going to negotiate. I NEVER negotiate; but hubs never asks for anything, so when he did, I thought it might be worth it.

So I asked the sales person if it was on sale (it wasn't marked). She came back and said it was 25% off. I then told her that I'd like to pay $37.50 for it. She went to ask her manager, and came back, and said, "SURE." I guess it never hurts to ask, right Jason??


We met with the fam for our fairly consistent fall tradition of going to a Hogs game together.

Woo pig! A good looking group fans right there:)

It was a "don't stop till ya drop"good time for the cousins!

Mandy and Katie posted more pics, so I'm too lazy to repost. Mandy thanks for being the "HOSTEST WITH THE MOSTEST!" My boy appreciates the midnight TLC..you rock..seriously.

Ten for Ten

Today we turn ten years old as a married couple. I tried to pick one pic from each year. I did a HORRIBLE job transferring pics from computer to computer and organizing them; the next 10 years will be very different in that dept.

We covered many miles the last ten....and ended up with a few rug rats along the way.  We'll keep 'em and love 'em to pieces; they certainly make us a better couple and better people.  Thank you to God for giving us ten years filled with blessings beyond what we could have imagined when we said "I do" ten years ago.
