Fall is in the Air!

We've been enjoying the cooler weather lately. The boys had Logan over for a play date, and the weather was perfect for playing in the backyard!

Grant and Logan

Reid really wanted me to watch how he swings all by himself, but of course I haven't masterd my action photography yet so these pics will have to do.




First hot cocoa of the season....


We were getting ready for Daddy's volleyball game, and snapped this pic of Reid and his 'signature look'. I get this look every day when I drop him off for school...it's the final step to our morning 'goodbye' after about 20 "I love you's", kisses, eskimo's, and "Have a nice day's".

...and Daddy won the game yay!!

Jason won the Regional Championship his first year as head coach at JJ Pearce! Not a bad start!

Happy Halloween!!

We had so much fun Trick or Treating with Blakey again this year! Transfomers and Darth Vader were the costumes of choice. The boys collected tons of candy, and had so much fun taking inventory in their spooky Halloween jammies! And this blog would not be complete if I failed to post the picture of Uncle Jay in his bumble bee costume, nothing like coordinating tutus for Daddy and daughter!

Adventures with Grammy & Pops

The boys got a very special treat this year...a trip to the State Fair with Grammy and Pops! This has been on my list of things to do since I was the boys age, and one of these days I'll actually make it out to the fair! Anyhow, I think the pictures speak for themselves, but let's just say there was no shortage of excitement from the train ride to Fair Park, to seeing Big Tex, all the fun rides (they even rode the big scary ferris wheel!! Yikes!) to the cotton candy and corny dogs, and even a the sleep over with Grammy & Pops to top it all off! While the boys were enjoying themselves with G&P Jason and I had his 20 year High School reunion! lol I can't believe we're ( I mean Jason) is getting so old!! :)

Thank you for such a fun day Grammy & Pops!

Daddy Date at the Pumpkin Patch

Jason and the boys had last Monday off for Columbus Day so they decided to brave the pumpkin patch...

Hard to believe these are my cubs!! Time flies!

Learning and Exploring at the Museum

Jason was in Houston a few weeks ago so the boys and I decided to take a field trip to the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History. The boys are all about dinasaurs these days, so it was so much fun to get up close and personal with this T-Rex...or least Reid thought so, Grant was not quite as sure about it, but after a little convincing from Reidy he allowed me to take these photos.

They also loved the kids play area! There was so much fun to be had at the museum, we will have to make another trip back to visit the planetarium!
