Fall and Halloween Prep II...

Like I've said before, Fall is my favorite.  I'm not typically very good with plants, but my mums suprisingly lived this year :)  I wanted to document them incase this ends up as a once-in-a-lifetime scenario...

 

When I was growing up, we always made caramel apples for Halloween.  Jeremy and I thought Carter might have fun decorating a few.  So, we picked some tiny apples from Mom and Dad's tree, and I got them prepped.  He loved it (maybe even more than he loved eating the decorations)!  Then, when people (aka, grandparents) came to our house, he would say, "I made a punkin apple for you!"  So fun.  I think this will remain a tradition!

 

 

 

Happy Halloween!

Playing and Prepping for Halloween...

I captured a few shots of the boys playing nicely together.  It is not common :)  In some, Peter has lovely red eyes.  I'm doing the lazy auto-mode on the camera these days inside my house...beautiful, I know.

 

 

Family pictures are more fun if they're real, right?

 

Papa and Elley in for a quick visit after cattle work.  I think the boys would like to live with them (or Mimi and Pops)!

 

And the great pumpkin carving. This pumpkin was a monster and Jeremy carved him joyfully...what a great dad!

Peter was ready and waiting for his turn with the pumpkin.

 

Carter helped draw the face.

Spoooooky... :)

 

We're working on our "trick-or-treat" methods and getting ready for a day of fun with the cousins.

 

Happy Birthday MiMi!

 

Peter's Bday in Amarillo

On Friday after Peter's birthday, we got to go to Amarillo to spend the day with Jeremy's parents. 

 

Sidenote: Peter's 1 year appointment was that day, and my guess at him being 30 lbs was wrong...whew.  He is just 26.5 lbs and 31 inches...basically the same as Carter at 1 year.

 

We bought the best petit fours from Bellmar Bakery and had a fun lunch with MiMi and Pops.

 

Carter helping Peter blow out his candle...Jeremy "helping" too.

He might have found a new favorite food.

I really wish this one wasn't blurry.  He was so excited!

 

Mimi helping Peter open his gifts...

 

A chair of his very own.  This kid LOVES his chair!

 

We are so fortunate to live just two hours away from Mimi and Pops and to be able to see them almost every time we're in Amarillo.  The kids have the best sets of grandparents, and we couldn't be more thankful.
