Fall Fun!

We had soooo many places to go this fall! So many places to wear our costumes and sooooo many places to get candy! Can it get any better? Hayden decided to be "Dark" Vader this year and Chloe was My Little Pony. She is having a harder time because she's in between so many things. We had a great time at the School Festival! We met up with Charlie, Will and Henry! Hayden spent the last month talking about the haunted house and he couldn't wait, but it was WAY more than we were ready for. He was terrified out of his mind and spent the next 2 nights sleeping in our room :)
Then we had our Church Trunk or Treat and met up with Kylie and Quinn. We played lots of games, got lots of candy and rode the hay-ride...more than once :)
Chloe and Hayden both got out early on Wednesday, so we headed to the Arboretum for some more pumpkins! They weren't as into it as years past and it made me a bit sad...they are growing up so fast!
Last was our annual Halloween Party at our house. All our friends came for the group picture, then we had snacks and headed out to take over the neighborhood! We made our way to Elvis and back home to hand out the mass baskets of candy. Now, Hayden will begin the countdown to next Halloween :)

Hall Ball!!!


The best things in life are the ones we create together.  Hayden and I were bored one day and he was wanting to play war with the plastic balls...that's not my favorite thing...so we got creative and created HALL BALL.  This has become a highlight of Friday nights at home in our family.  It's special, no one else has it but us and we love spending time together!

State Fair

There's nothing much better than being outside on a fall day with a corny dog in one hand and cotton candy in the other! Not to mention rides :) We love going to the state fair and love meeting mimi and bopaw there. Not sure if all kids like the auto show...but ours love it! So...we don't spend the whole time on the mid-way!
We talked Chloe into a few more rides this year!
We even had time for a backyard circus!

Bend it Like Hayden!

Wow! Hayden came out kicking this year! He's been timid at times in the past but not this year. He loves loves loves soccer because you're moving all the time! He is on the Incredibles with Will and Ross so he's thrilled :) They started the year off slow but started pulling together and winning! Hayden is going to be the type who loves all sports but the more you move...the better!

I lost my first tooth!!! (the right way :)

Well, it finally happened! Hayden lost his first tooth...the right way. Meaning it didn't get bumped on the bath tub on vacation and have to be pulled by the dentist! And he pulled it himself! After wiggling and jiggling and everyone, including Eryka taking a shot at it, he pulled it himself and was so proud! Now we're 2/4 in the front! And $3 richer :)
