KG's First Sleepover

Since we were gone on KG's 4th birthday, I promised her a sleepover with some of her little friends. They had a GREAT time, and were so good. Here are a few pictures we took.

KG, L, and M. All very close in age. L born in Sept., KG born in Oct., M born in Nov. They love to hang out together.

Deacon also thought he would get in the middle of everything. :)
Just the girls.
KG picked dinner at McD's. They were pretty pumped about their Happy Meals. Here they are deciding on who will get what toy.
Deacon thinks it's pretty fun to have dinner with all these girls. He was pretty funny tonight.
Dancy Party!! Dancing to a little Hannah Montana.
Little table dancers. We teach em' young around here. ha ha!! :)
Cookies and friends. KG requested doo doo cookies. Others probably refer to them as Oatmeal PB Cookies.
Fuzzy Jammies and Socks from Liv. She really liked these.
My Little Pony with changing outfits from Mia. So fun!!
Ready for bed and a movie. :) They are now fast asleep................

JC Comes to Visit!

My best friend from college, Jennifer, came for a visit this past week. Everytime we are together there is always a lot of laughing and a ton of fun. We shopped, ate, and just hung out.

On Tuesday night I had a jewelry party. KG picked out her necklace, had it made, and was out the door. Good thing Nee Nee was there to take her home.
We also made our traditional pancakes and chocolate syrup. The chocolate syrup is homemade and delicious!! This is Deacon's first taste. He LOVED it!!
On Wednesday JC told the kids we would go and get some ice cream. So at the crack of morning KG is telling me she needs to go and wake up JC so she can buy her some ice cream. We stayed true to our word. We picked CT up from school, headed to Sonic for happy hour, and then went to the park. It was a BEAUTIFUL day!!

Here is Deacon taking a turn on the swing.

Thanks for coming JC. We had a GREAT time!! We will plan another get together soon!

School Pictures

While we were gone to China the kids had their school pictures taken. We just got them back the other day. I thought they turned out really good! Way to go Mimi and Nana.

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!! We started our Trick or Treating on Thursday night, and continued through the weekend. :)

Darth Vadar aka CT and Nee Nee. A lot of the businesses in our community handed out candy on Friday afternoon. It was CRAZY!! There were people everywhere. We just went to where Nee Nee works, and hit a few other businesses of people we knew.
When we got home CT got his surprise from Mimi. She sent him a cookie basket since he broke his arm. :) He was nice enough to share with all of us. He thought this was pretty cool. He is playing the broken arm card quite well. Everything is, "But I broke my arm." It's not working as well as he would like. ha ha!

CT broke his arm jumping off the neighbor's trampoline. :) BOYS!!
Brothers. These two were ready to get the candy party started. KG wasn't too into taking pictures.

CT and one of his best buddies Stephen. Every time I took a picture of them, Stephen would ask me if I could email it to him. :)
KG and her little friend Paige. I got her to take this picture by telling her she could eat 3 pieces of candy. :)
CT, Stephen, and two BIG Clone Troopers. The boys thought this was cool.
Deacon playing the games.
Argh Matey!! Hope you had a Happy Halloween!!

Wee School Fall Festival

Tonight was KG's fall carnival at her school. So we got everyone dressed up and ready for some fun!

These are a little blurry. I had something set wrong on my camera.

Tinkerbell, Capt. Pirate, and Darth Vadar ready for some candy!
The cookie walk. Notice the scary wearwolf. :) He is our cute little neighbor, but he looked scary!
What am I supposed to do with this ring? I'll just take that drink thank you. :)
This is NOT Working!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we headed out to the local pumpkin patch for a little fun. The best part....it's FREE! A church here in town puts it on each year.

Deacon making his way through the hay maze.
This picture cracks me up. CT is smiling but looking at what is going on somewhere else. KG is giving someone instructions I am sure. :) ha!
Deacon was loving this.
Deacon's Chinese squat.
KG heading through the hay tunnel. She wasn't going to to at first b/c CT told her it was scary. It was all of 10 feet long. She got over it and went.
This was one of our attempts at getting a picture in the pumpkins. Take 1.
Let's try again.....
And we're off. He was done with that. So that was as good as it got. :)
CT on the jupiter jump.

Disney World Day 5- Beach Day!

On Friday we loaded up and headed to Daytona Beach. We could not go to Daytona without a "pit stop" to the Daytona 500. :) T and CT were SUPER pumped about this. Thankfully, the girls went to eat and shop.

Papa, Daddy, and CT at Victory Lane. So proud. ha ha!
KG at the beach. She LOVED it!! I think our next vacation will have to be at the beach.
Deacon was not quite sure at first. Once he got used to it, we couldn't keep him out of it.
CT running through the waves. He also loved it.
