football players

Thanks to their cousin Chase...these 3 were some cute football players for Halloween.

"too cool"
My Little Athletes

Grrrrrr...game face!

happy halloween!

Happy Fall to All! Love, Megan, Carson, Gage, and Toby!

We had trunk n treat at our church last night and tonight at Nana and Slick's church...fun times and lots of candy. Pictures to come of what we dressed like...I had us all in a themed costume and even Bradley participated...I'll keep you guessing on what the theme was!

2 nights at cabin

We stayed 2 nights at the cabin...the 5 of us. Meg was off with a friend for the weekend.

Making LOUD noises on the porch...while we chilled out inside!

Gage kept saying "I wanna sleep uptop." Well he couldn't until his daddy did this for him to keep him safe. So thankful I married a "handy man."
Gage and Toby showing off the railing!

Love these 2 look-a-like boys!

Toby was getting teased when Daddy was tucking him in his sleeping bag on the couch.

Brad was looking for something under the couch and popped it back without the boys knowing what he was doing...it caught them all by surprise!

Fun times...lots of memories made!

Circus (part 2 of 2)

Such a fun day! Gage got cotton candy to share and it came with a super cool hat he sported for the rest of the day!

Me with my 4...Megan was once again off socializing...
The ending part...

Gage and his buddy Ayden

Megan and her $3 lollipop...this girl had as much fun as the 2, 4, 6, and 10 yr old did!

Circus (part 1 of 2)

We got to go to the circus in Jackson with our church. It was sooo much fun! I had just as much fun watching these kiddos enjoy themselves. We got to take Heaven too b/c there was an extra ticket. Megan is not pictured in here b/c she was off socializing before we loaded the bus.

The mastermind behind the trip...my great friend...Julie!
Toby had never riden on a bus before and he was in HOG HEAVEN!

Carson and Heaven at the circus...

more pics tomorrow from our superfantabulous event!

O I'm thinking about ordering a Kindle with my birthday $$...any suggestions, pros and cons?

I scream for ice cream!

I got the coolest birthday present...an ice cream maker. It makes ice cream that tastes like Dairy Queen soft serve...oooo...yummy! My boys love it! I could not keep Toby out of it while it was finishing...

They would not let me fix bowls the first night...way too much fun to dip out of the maker itself. I have made vanilla and banana (brad's request) and both are very yummy!

Deodorant anyone...

Mami (my all time special grandmother) would always tell Carla and I "you put on D.O. for your B.O." and we would just giggle b/c it was such a silly saying...

Well...my boys have seen their daddy put on deodorant all the time when he gets out of the shower. So now they have a nightly ritual after showertime and it is too funny...

Carson applying deodorant...

Carson applying deodorant on Gage's armpits...
Now it's Toby's turn...

Carson: smell mama...it smells really good!

Yummy smelling boys b/c they smell like their daddy with Old Spice Deodorant.

Ummm...I love these wild little monkeys!

Artwork...

Gage drew me a cute picture and I wanted to capture it...so I did.

Then Toby saw what I did...and went to the marker drawer and drew this...and brought it me and said "mama, MAMA, cheese!" This boys misses out on NOTHING!
Then Carson said "Mama, I didn't draw a picture but watch my really cool trick!"

Ummm...we are at the circus today with our church (92 people went from our church...I know...WOW.) My boys have never been to the circus and Meg was more excited than the 3 of them...so it will be a FUN today especially for me getting to experience it thru the eyes of a 2, 4, 6, and 15 year old!

My four...

Now this picture really makes me smile. We were off to our adventure at Mac's birthday but I wanted a pic of all 4 of my crew dressed in their fallish attire for my new background for my laptop to show off a bit. :)

Mac is ONE!

Look who had a cute little owl birthday party this weekend?!? Yep...Mac! This is the cute little toy we gave him...it was just like the one that Joan gave Carson when he turned one.

Toby was completely loving "mac" and all he did that day.
Mac got tickled at one of the boys while they were all eating the smash cake...

Yep...my boys were all allowed to dive in too...and they loved it!

Cute owl cake Mom made for him.

My boys...

are some country boys! Check out their attire...they dressed themselves!

Toby: yellow croc boot, a diaper (I think) and "wear" (more commonly known as underwear)Carson: John Deere boots, basketball shorts, and a way-to-big-but-cool basketball shirt
Gage: barefooted, basketball shorts, and a muscle shirt "to show off my big muscles, mama"

Destination Graduation

Our school district puts on on this huge graduation ceremony each start of the school year. We line up by grade and walk to track and they introduce each class and everyone cheers. It's to promote graduation...all I know is that it is always super H.O.T! Brad conveniently had a volleyball game at Dexter (where ever that is) on the night of our "special" event!

So here we are all are dressed in our "tiger gold" shirts...

Amy S. and Amy T. - so thankful for our friendship

My boys with the Tiger (sweet Katie). Toby was NOT thrilled with this photo session.

Toby was all over this playground that was really made for elementary kiddos.

Carson loved climbing all over this playground!

Gage-man was all over it too!

They have a super cool playground at our elementary...can't wait for my boys to go there.
