Halloween Fun

We had a great Halloween weekend (several weekends back). Friday after school we trick-or-treated in West Medford with some friends from Ava's class and the Gretos. Saturday we went to the Greto's Halloween party and we hit our neighborhood on Monday for more trick-or-treating. Needless to say, we were on a candy overload and have since given much of it away. Here are some pictures from our fun weekend!

The kids in West Medford

Emet and Mario
Mario owns a pizza shop in West Medford. He loves Emet and Emet loves going to see him and eating in his shop. We took this picture up to Mario with a card and he has it hanging in the shop now.

Go Harvard!

A few weeks ago we went to a Harvard game. Thanks to Colton for getting us tickets. We had a blast and enjoyed a fun afternoon of football and time with friends. Jess and the Harrisons went with us to the game. Loved it...fun memories!!!

Owen is 9 Months!

Our little man is 9 months old. He continues to be a joy and delight in our lives. He is laid back and content. Owen has such a sweet nature. He loves to snuggle (especially with his Mommy), play with his toys, stand in the exersaucer, laugh at Ava and Emet and eat. He LOVES his bottle and meal time for sure. (I am no longer nursing). He is crawling and pulling up on our furniture these days. I love his smile and hearing him laugh. I love the way he snuggles into my shoulder when he is tired. I just love my little guy so much!!!

Topsfield Fair Fun

For the second year in a row we made the trip up to Topsfield for the fair. For all of you N.C. friends, think State Fair on a smaller scale. We love going to the fair and experiencing it for one day out of the year. This year was no different. I especially love seeing the kids' excitement about everything going on. We visited animals, rode rides, caught a couple of "shows" and of course ate some good food!

Ava and the baby chick

He was so excited he dropped the chick, but no worries, no harm was done and the man in charge was so nice. He said he wouldn't have let him hold it in the first place if he was worried about the chick getting hurt. Nonetheless, Emet was happy to be holding the baby chick!

For Jeremy and Abbey...they were a little lost without you guys this year!

Sand Structure

I love these kiddos!!!

She really is, so sweet!

Driving the truck

Getting on a spinning ride...I'm getting too old for those!

Love his smile!

I couldn't do another spinning ride, so Jon took one for the team!

Owen enjoyed riding in his stroller most of the day...we got him out for some picture ops.

Bike show...crazy tricks!

Fall Fun

I've been behind lately...so here is a lot of catching up in one long post. This is a glimpse of our fun filled October...minus the fair pictures. (There were too many fair pictures to include in this post...so those are to come later). It has been a great month. Thankful for a beautiful October, now that we are ready for winter and already seeing snow. Crazy!!!

Micah and Carrie came over one night to watch the Clemson football game. Go Tigers!!!

The kids are loving doing preschool and
the fire station field trip was a huge hit!

Mom, Dad, Bob and Linda were in Rhode Island and
came up to spend a day with us. We loved having them here and
were thankful that they made a day trip up to see us!

In our living room tent...hanging out with Joseph and watching a movie!

Smolak Farms
The kids and I went apple picking last weekend. We had a blast. This was on my "to do" list for fall. I'm glad we went. The kids loved it and the apples were cheap! My sweet boy has been putting away some apples this week. Glad he likes them, because we have so many!
