What's up...

 Holt got a special bible for being a big first grader, at our church.  It's really cool and explains the stories in kid language.

 An undefeated season ended w/ a loss at the bowl game.  But, the warriors played hard and we had fun!!

 Holt & one of his proud coaches!

 Trophy!

My Tiny is GOOD at soccer!  Seriously!  It's so fun to watch and I'm so happy she's athletic (unlike her mommy!).

 Butterfly farm...

 Hockey game w/ just daddy...& "Julie" of course!

 Although it appears that Adly has developed really saggy breasts, there's a baby under there!  It was a bouncing baby boy!  Hilarious!!

 & they even had a baptism!  Seriously, she did this all on her own.  She asked for a bowl of water and set it all up.  Then she brought over a chair and asked that I sit and watch.  Precious!

 Julie needed a little holy water too!

That's what's up...

I have more, but that's enough for now.  On to checking blogs that update more often...



Beautiful Fairy"tale" tea party!

Seriously, the most beautiful party we've been to!!  It was like a fairytale.  My friend, Brandie pulled it off all herself (w/ a little help from her man).  It was sooo beautiful!  These pics hardly do it justice...

The set up...just right for a fairy turning 5!

 Make up was done...

fairy houses crafted...

 Scavenger hunt, fairy style...

 Pixie dust necklaces around their necks! (That's the birthday girl, Luciana, to the right of Adly.)

 Uh, yeah...she made the tutus, headpieces and wings!  Sewed these beautiful wings...which now adorn Adly's bedroom door.

 Tea fit for fairies...

 In came the dirty boys...they were pretty good though.

 Sweet M family!  Love them all...

 Happy 5th birthday, Luciana!  We love you!

Thanks for sharing your gorgeous day w/ us!

October Birthdays!...

Our Biggin' had a birthday!  We celebrated w/ family, pizza & cupcakes.

We love our Biggin (can you tell how much he loves us?)!!

 Happy Birthday, Biggin!

 Massimo had a Lego Ninjago party!  It was awesome!  All the boys (& a couple girls), were turned into ninjas.  Massimo is a master Lego-man. 

Happy 7th, buddy!

(look at those cute, skinny boy bodies!)

 These two have been best friends since they were 2.  It's precious!

 Even though they go to separate schools, it's always like no time has passed.  They go right back to where they left off.  I love their friendship.

Happy October birthday to 2 very special people!  Glad we could share it w you. 

Halloween wrap up...

Since I hardly blog any more (ugh!)...

Here we go...

Spider activity w/ Holt's class.  so fun!

 Neighborhood festival paint guy did this!  Awesome!  (Bald Painting co.)

(Missy has the pics of the kids w/ the boys.)

 Holt & I went on a haunted hayride!!  SPOOKY!!

 Adly's sweet school had their Fall Fest and I got to volunteer.  (Another plus of being SAHM)

 Holt says he remembers that I did this job one year when he went here.  I love that he remembers that!

 Jess, Adly & Maggie. 

Adly is not older (Mag & Adly are only days and she and Jess only weeks)...there's a big growing curve at this age!! 

Did a little pumpkin carving...

 Kitty this year...

 Halloween night we went to the J family's home.
Dianna is so good at this stuff...

Mummy pizzas were served...

& carrot fingers...

 Apple mouths!!

 Adly was a sweet black cat.  & instead of trick or treat, she said "Meow" at every house!

 Holt decided to go to the dark side this year...

Big group this year!  So fun!!

Happy Halloween everyone!

 & yes, Julie baby went w/ us all night...in the stroller...for hours.  No complaining was done.  Adly is such a good "mommy"!!

Note on hunting...

Holt does NOT shoot anything but a camera.  This is the first year he's been around his daddy shooting.  It's all very safe and nature is respected.  It's hard for this momma from a non-hunting family, to get it, but I have to.  & they love it! Now I just have to hope my Tiny doesn't!

Ducks & Daddy...

When I married a hunter, I knew that one day I might have a son who liked that sort of stuff...

& boy, do I!

 The serious, "I'm totally into this" face.

Whatever Daddy does is so cool!

Holt loves the outdoors just as much as his daddy does.  

Red Barn...

If you could only get two cute faces looking at the same time...

aren't they precious!!?

Ren (left) & Rex (right)

Can you tell these are the "ewww, what is this under my legs" faces?

 his cheeks jiggle!  love it!!

 Adly was a good mommy to Julie...she even brought her to see the pumpkins.

 Us & Ren

 couldn't get babies to look!

 I carried Ren a lot.  He always loves my jewelry.

 Missy, Ren (jewelry again) & Mimi

 Julie baby picked this pumpkin!

 Mimi's loves...

 Mine...

Not sure what's up w/ cool guy's shirt.  It was buttoned when we got there!

 More time w/ Ren.

He was showing me what the gator does...chomp chomp!

Holt's a collector.  He was so happy that his Mimi offered to buy him a couple gourds.  He carried them around on our tour.

 Rex & I spent some time too.

Fun outing w/ my sweet nephews. 

Thanks for taking all the pictures, Uncle "JoJo".
