Halloween in Colorado!

At this rate I'll have Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures up by Mother's Day :-/  In my defense, I had so many problems uploading these pictures!  I had to redo several times!!!  AAAAHHHH!!

We had a great time visiting Colorado at the end of October for a WHOLE WEEK!  The kids did great in the car.  We broke up the trip again and that seems to do the trick.  We made it just in time to be at cousin Emily's 9th birthday party (YAY!)!

We also had fun carving pumpkins!


Poor Uncle Tom had to carve Lilly's very intricate beauty and the beast design- he was a trooper!
Here is the witch Daddy carved.. not bad!
 
The weather was great, so we decided to spend a day in Estes Park!  The kids enjoyed some huge ice cream cones..

 
We did a lot of fun playing in Me-Ma and Papa's backyard!
 
Miss Priss!

pics out of order- Rocky Mountain National Park in Estes..
 
Cousins eating popcorn and watching cartoons!
 
We spent Halloween Trick-or-Treating in Aunt Pam's neighborhood in Broomfield!  It was the best neighborhood for the best treats!  Tons of kiddos walking around with their families, and so many of the houses were decorated. It was so neat!
Our beautiful ballerina and super tough Batman!


About to set off on foot with all our cousins!


Papa got in on the action with his scary old man mask!

More playing in the backyard.  This was too cute of Nate and Matty!
We went to a fun fall carnival at Me-Maw and Papa's church!  The kids played games for tokens and got their faces painted!
 
and then they played in the beautiful fall leaves!

with sweet cousin Emily!

 
Ok- this marks the beginning of my PHONE PICS of the trip! :)
 
Here the kids are, so excited to play in a patch of snow leftover from a storm they had before we got there (the weather was actually perfect while we were there)!
Sweet pic of Me-Ma reading to the kids by the fire place..
Family photo in the pretty leaves!
Cousins hanging out!

My sweet boy in Estes park..

What a wonderful trip we had!!  Can't wait to see everyone again in February for
UNCLE DANNY'S WEDDING!!

Dallas Arboretum in October!

Yada, Yada, WAAAAAY BEHIND on the blog!  We had a wonderful Halloween in Colorado but first I have to report on our trip to the Arboretum at the beginning of October!

You know by now, that every year we make our way over to the Dallas Arboretum for the ginormo pumpkin patch festivities!  Pumpkins Pumpkins everywhere!!  This year we went on a Monday with friends who were out of school for Columbus day (or something like that).  My friend, Jenn, has a little girl who is a year older than N and L, and a baby boy who is around 18 months.

Nate and Lilly had fun running around with Brynley, and I had a great time getting to chat with my hilarious friend (in between tantrums, potty breaks, etc.).















See, you can tell we had a good time, right?!

Four year pictures!

Taken two months after their birthday.. and blogged about another two months after that..

Pictures of two of the cutest darn four year olds you have ever seen!  I guess these will be considered their "4 Year" pics.  I took them right around the corner from our house (literally, we walked)..








ok, just wanted to get these on here since I took them SO LONG ago!  Behind on posts.. as usual!!  I did little "interviews" a couple of months ago too, where I asked them questions about things they liked and wrote down the answers.. I will try and post those answers tomorrow night.  TRY. :)
