Party Time

The month started with Kyle and I getting to go to some great holiday parites. It was so much fun to dress up. Finally it was like I had prom date that I actually liked!!!!

Always a party with my mom. She took such great care of us and even recovered our couches. We love her!

What is a party without a beef stick? I ate a little too much beef stick this year. Thinking of you Grandpa Hobbs!

Paper Party! Rhett eats about as much paper has he does food. Maybe that is why he is so regular?!

Stocking party. New stockings, PJs, and slippers. Thanks Mrs. Santa.

Present Party!

Santa brought Chloe a kitchen and made her dreams come true.

Luke got a bow. He wants to be just like dad.

Our Sunday best!

New Years Party. Well as big a party you can have with a 5 year old, 3 year old, and 11 month old :)

um.... yes November!

It's catch up time so get ready.
Playing in leaves. Oh sooooooooo many leaves and this is a light load. I raked this much and more like 5 times!!!!

Chloe's turkey hat.

Of course turkey apples. I even made them as a little girl.

Who needs toys when you have bubble wrap?

Cutting down the tree. What a beaut!

Halloween

Such a fun Halloween! We had a great dinner with the Shepherd's and then we ransacked their neighborhood. The kids made a killing and got a ton of chocolate. Yeah for ME!!!!

Halloween in a big deal in St. Louis. People have big bonfires and decorate their garages. They also expect the kids to have a joke inorder to get candy. We did not know this, but Luke made up a joke on the fly! Here is his made up joke.
"What did the ghost say to the spider?"...
"Whooooooooooose is going!"

Fall Fun!

Luke lost tooth #2!

Hanging out while I rake leaves. Something I have to do ALL the time. So many trees. I have filled up about 10 HUGE trash cans full of leaves and I am not done yet!

A sweet lady in our ward made these for our kids. Thank you! They LOVE them!

My Hallween dessert gone bad. Before the car ride..... 1 second after being in the car began. I needed a better design!

Carving Pumpkins

Rhett eating raw pumpkin.

Final product!

Visiting the McGregors!

Girl time! Chloe loved hanging out with Mara and Macey. She wishes she had a sister!

Zoo! The penguins are so close we could almost touch them.

Pumkin Patch!

First Lost Tooth!

Luke lost his first tooth!!! It was so exciting. Every night Kyle has been taking a tissue and cranking on it pretty good till it bleeds. Finally Saturday night is came out. Even Erin and Johnny Balagna got to witness it. They came from Springfield for the evening to catch up. So good to see them!
My family will laugh at this video because it is slightly reminiscent of my "first lost tooth video". I was slightly more dramatic, but Luke has a little of me in him!


Luke got to put his tooth in the "tooth fairy" pillow Kyle used when he was little and he got a dollar. Luke has been sleeping with the pillow for over a week just incase his tooth fell out. Thanks Grammy for passing it down:)

Haning' Round the House

We are enjoying the fall here. This is my favorite time of year... no humidity, no tornadoes, and no snow! We go on walks every night and try to soak up every last bit of daylight.

Here are some pics of us just bummin' around the house

We call this "Rhett takin' a knee". He is constantly in this football stance and he loves to play with balls. He throws them and chases after them. Next Peyton Manning?

Maybe this is where Chloe got it!

Rhett's favorite place. He eats more than Chloe and about as much as Luke. He eat everything I put in front of him, even all his veggies.

Funny face:)

This is how Chloe wears headbands because of her glasses.

Ali's Pictures

Ali was so nice to take picture of our kids for us. Thanks Ali! You did a great job!
