Boo at the Zoo

Last night, we took Mason and Allie to Boo at the Zoo (or "Moo" at the zoo, as Mason called it!) and it was really cold! Mason enjoyed trick or treating, riding the carousel, and most of all........riding the train! At the end, we let him roast some marshmallows- which he LOVED! Lots of Fun!!


Finally.......a real smile!!! :)


Riding in the little red caboose!

I thought this was such a sweet picture of Mason and Allie holding hands- I didn't even tell Mason to do that!!

Spaghetti Supper at Preschool

Last night, we went to the spaghetti supper and book fair at Mason's preschool. They have it every year to help raise money for some new playground equipment. Pop, Aunt Nikki, and Stanley (Nikki's boyfriend and hopefully Mason and Allie's future uncle!) came with us. We got some fun books for Mason and Allie, ate spaghetti (obviously!), and then the preschoolers went up on the stage and provided some really cute entertainment! Afterwards, the preschoolers got to visit their classrooms and see their teachers......I think everyone had a really good time!


Mason enjoyed the spaghetti!

Carving our Pumpkin

We woke up this morning and had "Halloween" cinnamon rolls for breakfast.......and then we went outside to carve our pumpkin. Mason was really into it- he especially liked scooping out the seeds. When we were finished, I asked him what we should name our newly carved jack-o-lantern and he said "Pumpkin." Very original!

Monkey Business

Today was Katie Beth's 3rd birthday party at Monkey Business. This was our first time going to Monkey Business and Mason just loved it there! They had rides, games, bounce houses, slides, and REAL monkeys and birds! (We will definitely have to take him back there!) Mason and Katie Beth wanted to ride everything together.....they are just too cute!


Happy 3rd birthday Katie Beth!
We love you!! Mason & Allie

Our Little Pumpkins!

When Mason was 4 months old, we took our first trip to the pumpkin patch. (We had a pumpkin hat for him to wear and everything!) To keep up the tradition, we had to do the same thing for Allie's first trip to the pumpkin patch (except her hat is more girly!). Do you think our little pumpkins look alike?

Edventure

This morning we went to Edventure children's museum for our friend Jackson's 4th birthday party. Mason and Jackson were so excited to play with each other! They got to play inside of "Eddie", go grocery shopping at Piggly Wiggly (too cute!), play inside of a real fire truck, compose their own music, and a whole lot more.......... What a fun place for a birthday party! Happy Birthday Jackson!


Boys will be boys!!

"Halloween Extravaganza" at Little Gym

Last night was the halloween party at Little Gym. I honestly didn't want to go because it was literally pouring down rain and I had to take the kids by myself since Brian works late on Fridays.........but I knew how much Mason was looking forward to it, so we went! Mason had so much fun and although I was a little bit slack on the picture taking, I still managed to get a few cute ones!

Yay...Daddy's here!!

"cheese!"

Fulmer's Birthday Party

Happy 1st Birthday Fulmer- We love you!

Fall Festival at church

What a busy October we are having! It seems like we are just as busy this month as we'll be in December......so lots of new pictures and posts will be coming! This past Sunday we had the annual Fall Festival at our church. The kids had lots of fun wearing their Halloween costumes (Allie is a butterfly and Mason is a penguin), eating carnival food, playing games and winning prizes, sliding down the "BIG" slide, bouncing in the bounce houses, and going on hayrides. What a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon!


Even Allie got to play games!


Mason "hit" a home run!


Allie had fun bouncing, too!


Mason loved the slide!


All of us on a hayride....

The Fair

We went to the fair last night and met the Bickley's there. Mason, Katie Beth, Fulmer, and Allie always have so much fun playing together! Mason loved the animals, including a new sea lion show, and riding all of the fun rides with Katie Beth........ Allie and Fulmer enjoyed watching them. Mason woke up this morning and said,"Mommy, that was fun last night at the fair!" I'm sure he'll look forward to going every year!
