October at a Glance!

October was one crazy, fun, and exciting month. First off we moved! We are now renting Jason's grandma's patio home until we can decide where we want to buy a home. We love, love it here! It is so big and it has so much storage space in the house and in the garage, we can't even fill it all up. That's a nice feeling we have never had before. October was filled with fun events all month long. Here is just some of the things we were up to in October.

Maddix made this very cute pumkin all by herself at school. She is doing so great at school. She writes her name so good and she loves to cut things out and she does such a great job. I love picking her up from school. Everytime I pick her up and ask what she did in school all she tells me is that we played and played and played and that's all we did. It's so cute but I have to be tricky to find out what else they really did. I found out she knows the whole pledge of allegence and I was so proud of her when she put her hand over her heart and told me.

For family home evening one night we decorated suger cookies!I love this picture of Brady! He is trying so hard to frost the cookie but most the time he would just end up eating them. The evidence is all over his face!
The next week we carved pumpkins for family home evening. Maddix is always so excited to start the project.
Both kids put there hands in the pumpkin once and then left the rest of job for me to do. They get that from Jason because he hates putting his hands in there too.He did help me poke the holes in the pumkin when my hand got tired. And of course Maddix just had to have the witch carved in the pumpkin.
The final project completed! And I must say it turned out great!

We had a Halloween party at my aunt's house this year and it turned out great. We got to play with cousins and eat great food.


Brady was the cutest Lion. If you ask him what a lion says he will roar for you.

Maddix had a Halloween Party with everybody from preschool. She even won her class pumkin to bring home. I didn't get a picture but it was a very silly face pumpkin.

Maddix and her teacher!
She did not want me to take a picture. She was busy eating candy!

HALLOWEEN! This was on Halloween. We first went to trunk or treat and that was fun but then we went to my in-laws neighborhood and took the kids trick or treating with Ryland and they had so much fun they never wanted to stop. The kids were so ecxited and caught on to the idea very quick. They would take off running to the houses and if somebody would let them pick their candy, they weren't shy about how many to take either. Thankfully nobody cared and they were just dumping loads of candy into their bags. Maddix's bag got so heavy she couldn't even hold it anymore. My favorite part of the night was when we were walking and I said I love halloween and Maddix looks up at me and yells, "me too!" then takes off running to the door to get more candy. She cracks me up.

My little ballerina and lion!
Hope everybody had a happy Halloween!

You guys have been having some fun it looks like. I just saw Maddix a few weeks ago, but for some reason she looks really big in these pictures to me. Hearing that she can write her name and say the pledge is so impressive. . .and tells me I better get to working with Taryn! You have such an adorable family. Glad your doing well.
