Trunk or Treat

Every year our church has a trunk or treat in the parking lot. So we got the kids dressed in their costumes (Buzz Lightyear and a ladybug) and took them to trick or treat.


This year it was raining so the festivities were moved indoors. We got there a little early so Jake was able to participate in the cake walk. Of course he won...so he went to the prize table and picked out a little cupcake. Thank goodness! I did not want a huge cake!


After he ate the icing off the top of the cupcake it was time to trick or treat. He got the hang of it right off the bat. He was a very polite little trick or treater saying "trick or treat" and "thank you." Now he can't wait to go again on Sunday. Just what I need more candy in the house!


Thursday Jake went to school and had an amazing day. He was the "Big Bunny" which means he was the leader that day. And they had a Halloween party with tons of crafts. When I went to pick him up, out he came wearing his spider hat. I thought he was the cutest thing! I had to take pictures!


Have a great Halloween weekend everyone and WAR EAGLE!

Julianna's Baptism

Sunday we baptized Julianna at our church. We had tons of family in town to witness the event. She was wonderful. She smiled and laughed and had the audience wrapped around her finger. It was very cute. Thank you to all our family members who flew or drove to be here. It meant a lot to see so many people who love our little girl. We are truly blessed.

Pumpkin Patch

Sunday we visited the pumpkin patch after church. Jake had a great time running around picking out pumpkins for each of us. Julianna sat with the little pumpkins for a while but was more interested in the straw than the pumpkins. But she sure did look good in her cute little dress if I do say so myself.



This weekend Julianna will be baptized. Most of our family will be here so we are all excited!

Toy Story 3

Anna and I took Jake and John Payne to see Toy Story 3 on Ice. WOW. We all had such a great time.


John Payne just watched everything and was mesmerized. While Jake was slightly more animated. He said "hi" to every characted and worried when they left the stage. He clapped, laughed and yelled "To Infinity and Beyond!"


I can't say I watched much of the show. I was so entertained just by watching Jake and the faces he made and the things he would say. I am so glad I took him and that Anna could come to town and bring John Payne.

Fall Fun

We have been having lots of fun the past few weeks. Jake had his very first preschool family picnic. Jake's school has a picnic every year with lots of fun stuff including two jumpy houses and a train ride. I am sure there was other stuff to do but we didn't get to it. As we were leaving I asked Jake if he had fun and he said "I need to go to picnic again now." Sorry Jake you have to wait until next year. Of course I forgot my camera so we have no documentation of the event but that is almost better. Sometimes I get wrapped up in taking pictures I forget to enjoy myself.


Jake and I met Payton and Jamie at the Children's Museum this week. They have a new exhibit that was all about music and let me tell you Jake was into it! He ran around playing all the instruments and singing into a microphone. It is such a neat place and he loves going there.


Today Brian went to the Auburn/Arkansas game and we stayed here and supported our Tigers from the couch. I got a really cute picture of both of them on the couch. Excuse Julianna's messy shirt...she really likes sweet potatoes and they were everywhere.
