Halloween Activities

 Boo at the Zoo with cousins



 Liam was satisfied as long as he had a sucker in his mouth.

 This kid loves animals!!

Q had to go say hi to the giraffe.
 Cuties!! 
 We got to go to trick or treating at Melaleuca with my cousin. Super fun!! Thanks Shay!
 Our group

 Liam aka Batman. Q helped picked out Liam's costume and of course Liam ended up being a superhero:) 
 Q aka Spider man. Real shocker, I know!
 Halloween night was beautiful. We went to our ward truck or treat and then around to see grandparents. By the time we got back home it was kinda late so we were only able to go to one of our neighbors before we  had to call it a night. Q was not ready to be done.

 Trick of Treat...
 Grandma and Papa Kelley
 Grandma and Papa Garner

 Q got way too much candy!! One happy boy!


Pumpkin Patch

 I took the kids to the pumpkin patch a couple days before Halloween.We went during the day while Bran was at work. The pumpkin patch was just not as fun without an extra set of hands to help me. Liam was all over the place and was a muddy mess by the time we left. The kids had a blast though:) I felt like Halloween totally crept up on us this year. We didn't even have time to carve our pumpkins!! 
(love the drool string)
 Q helped Liam find the perfect little pumpkin.
 Big helper:)

 Liam loved the chickens.

 Hay maze

 Playing on the train.

First Snowfall

First snowfall.
We got geared up and headed outside to play in the snow.

 We made a snowman that Q named Biscuit??

 I pulled the kids around in the sled. Not as fun as it sounds...at least for me. I'm way out of shape!!
 Liam sure seemed to be enjoying himself.


 The snow didn't last long and neither did biscuit:)
Fun day!! I always love the first snowfall. It's the snow that comes in April that I despise!!

Random Fall Happenings

Shopping in style. This is how we roll at the mall when mom forgets the stroller.
He's the cutest Braves fan I've ever seen! 

 Conference weekend is the best. 
 I put candy in bowls and then labeled them with words like temple, scriptures, Jesus, etc. When Q would hear one of the words he would get to go pick a candy out of that bowl. I was surprised at how well it kept his attention. I will definitely be doing this again:)
 Taking it easy...
 This boy loves macaroni and cheese. He eats mac&cheese at least once a day if not twice!!
 Love these two boys!!
 This kid is a busy one. I have caught him on top of chairs and tables multiple times. Crawling out of his high chair and standing on his tray is a new favorite...Yikes!! I'm so glad he hasn't biffed it yet.

 Watching Uncle Logan play football.
 Football watching buddies!

Homecoming

 My little brother played football for Skyline this year and my little sister cheers so we took the kids to watch them in the Homecoming parade. While we were waiting for the parade to start some firefighters asked if the kids wanted to come look at the fire trucks. I thought it was so nice of those fireman to do that. The kiddos thought it was awesome!!




 Dancing to the band coming down the street. 
 He's got moves!!
 So excited....
 The kids seriously made a haul with the candy. Madi and Logan's friends stocked them up!
 My little brother Logan with his buddy. It's still so weird they are old enough to be in High School!
 My little sister Madi was Homecoming Lady. 

 Madi sure is a cutie!!
 We went to the Homecoming game that night to watch Madi preform at half time and to see her walk out on the field as Homecoming Lady. Q/I caught one of the footballs being thrown into the crowd. He held onto that sucker the entire game. Good thing his mommy has such quick hands:)
