HALLOWEEN

Since Halloween this year was on Sunday the boys just enjoyed there school parties and we went with Matt and Meg and there family to enjoy their Trunk or Treat. The boys had a good time and didn't seem to mind that they didn't go trick or treating on Halloween night. They loved just getting to see all the kids come to the door all dressed up in their costumes. Garrett wanted to be a soldier and loved having Papa Don paint his face like he did when he would go to the field to do his war games. Porter was a pirate...His pirate face...And of course Mase was a pirate but this is the best I could get of him good thing we captured his pirate face on the previous post.Brody was a monkey after his monkey moo...

CRAFT PROJECTS...

Garrett brought home this gourd from school and had to be creative and turn it into something that he had to take into school to be judged. He had the idea to turn it into a spider and I think he turned out pretty cute. Garrett is so proud of him!! Garrett is so cute about his simple love of life!!Porter brought home a spider hat he made at school and needed to get a picture, too!! Porter is LOVING school so much, it makes me so happy!!Don't mind his brown teeth, he is just eating candy, I promise I do brush his teeth!!

Halloween Party...

Mason had his preschool Halloween Party and he loved getting into character as a pirate.... in case you couldn't tell that is his pirate face!! This kid is such a character, he cracks me up so much just like his Dad!!!



PUMPKINS....

For FHE the boys decorated their pumpkins and had a good time piecing together their pumpkin heads. I think they turned out pretty cute!!!

GREENBLUFF

Oh how I missed Greenbluff last year.......we were able to go this year with G & G Stephenson. We headed to Siemers farm and fed this little Mama goat and her baby....Played at Fort Siemers....Ate warm pumpkin doughnuts......YUM....Listened to the live band.....Found our way through the corn maze.....without cheating this year. :)Took a peek up at the top of this castle....there was a picture of a creepy person on the wall and Papa Jim held Brody up to see it and he started screaming bloody murder... so sad but so funny at the same time. Funny little boy!! There also was a man dressed up in a scary gorilla costume and was in a cage that he would get out of and scare people. Porter was NOT a fan. These boys crack me up sometimes!!Stuffed animal petting zoo...After the maze we needed another snack and what could be better then kettle corn?!!On to another farm...Petting the miniature horse...Playing on top of the hay maze...

It was a fun day, thanks for going with us Grandma and Grandpa!!

COWBOY DAYZ...

Mason had Cowboy Days at preschool one week and he got to dress up like a cowboy for the two days of preschool. He loved it and thought it was so much fun. He is such a character. He has been loving school and I keep hearing that his teachers just love him and his buddy Drew. Those two are quite the pair, so funny!! I tried to get a good picture of him before he left for school and this is what I got.... he can not hold still for one second he is such a SPAZ. I love him ....he keeps me on my toes!!I finally had him sit down to see if I would have better luck with getting him to hold still....not much... his face in this picture cracks me up!! :)FINALLY....something decent! :)

Out On The Farm...

We went out with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Carol to their good friends house and were able to see and pet their baby calves and also see and ride their miniature horses/horse. The boys loved it and had such a good time. It was so pretty and peaceful there. Mason was the biggest fan he wanted to keep going and going and going. Porter liked it as well but Garrett went for one short ride and that was enough for him. Brody was happy just looking at them. In the picture below he was getting the little horse to trot and Mason thought it was the funnest thing, he would just laugh and laugh as he bounced around. Now for the ride on the real deal! He couldn't get enough. They also got this horse trotting with Mase and we just about lost mason he was coming down the side of the horse but he held on for dear life and still thought it was so great!! He has such a contagious smile!! Such a funny little boy!!Brody liked them and would pet and even feed them but didn't want anything to do with getting on one.
