Pictures!!! (I know they are way overdue!)

Okay..so I'm well aware of how overdue pictures are....but as you can see by the photos below..we've been a little busy! ;) This is pretty much the entire month of October as well as the beginning of November. The boys have loved staying home with Moogie the past couple of months. It is hard to believe that we have less than a month until the go back. I think that it will be a tough transition, but this has been the plan all along, and I'm sure that they will adjust quickly back into the old routine. We have another busy couple of months ahead of us too. It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just two weeks away. With our big family we have to stretch out holidays to fit everything in and our Thanksgivings actually start this coming weekend. Sean is super excited, it's his favorite holiday, but I just can't believe that it's almost here, which means Christmas is just around the corner! Thankfully I'm almost completely done with my shopping..but I'm still really looking forward to our Black Friday Fun!! Every year since I was a teenager a bunch of us get together to shop. I know, we probably are crazy, but we have the best time! Well..I'll stop rambling since I know that you really want are the pictures! Enjoy and God Bless!

The cousins on the Darr side, early October.
Back: Brewer (5) Front: Joshua (2 1/2), Wyman (6), Christopher (4), and Alexander (2). All of the boys are about 15 months apart except for Alex and Josh and they are about 10 months. So far, no new ones on the way to start this tradition again, but I know that the next turn is not mine. I have the baby, so to my lovely siblings it's up to you now and I'll jump in later! :)

On 10/10 we went to see the Pumpkin Wall in St Joe and the boys had a great time. This was our first year and they thought it was so cool to see a whole wall of pumpkins lite up.

My sisters on the Darr side met us down there .My little sister Trina with her fiance Eric and their dog Lola.

My other sister, Leighanna, with her husband, Matt, and Josh.

The next day we took the boys on our annual trip to Hunt's Orchard to go to the pumpkin patch.
The highlight of it for me is getting to take some great fall pictures. My boys!
My family!

Every year the boys each get a caramel apple. We always get the cutest shots of them eating them.

We had the boys birthday party on 10-18. These were the cakes! They were awesome. We have the same lady from Stewartsville make the boys' cakes that made all of mine growing up. Alexander's was a caterpillar and Christopher's was a bumblebee (just like on the invitations.). The were great! Thanks Shelly!
The awesome bug cupcakes I made (it took 2 hours..but totally worth it!)

3 of our 4 pumpkins. Sean did the face and the Pi sign! It was so cute and he was so proud. I did my first attempt at words and carved Psalm 27:1. It turned out pretty good...but next years will be better. We also did a transfer one of a witch flying with the moon, I just didn't get any good pictures of that one.
We spent Halloween at our church's Pumpkin Patch Party. The boys had a great time. There was so much to do. Hayrides, horse rides, bounce houses, games, food, trunk-or-treating, and so much more it was a blast! Christopher was a cowboy this year.
Alexander was a cow! Isn't his costume just adorable? Sean's mom made it. So cute!
While this isn't child related I still feel that it's worth mentioning. Every spring and fall the youth at our church host a trivia night. We have teams of 8 and there are 10 rounds of questions. It is so much fun. The spring was our first time and our team came in 3rd, not to shabby. This fall our team placed 1st!! Yeah!! So now for the spring night the youth will serve us steak as our reward. Very awesome! And all of the proceeds go to help the youth program. Great cause and a lot of fun!! This is our #1 team!!
