Halloween

The boys and I headed to Walmart to find their costumes. I had 5 costumes picked out for Riley to choose from. He picked:


A doctor!!!! I know it's a bit early to get excited about such things, but when your 4 year old would rather be a doctor than a ninja, spiderman, or batman, you tend to get a little giddy.

Poor Brock had to be a hand me down motorcycle rider. He was desperate to be spiderman but the only things left even near his size were a mario brothers and a pirate princess.


We had a quick visit from our neighbor dog, Bella.


At the neighbor's house--first stop!


There was no way I was lugging these big boys around in the wagon this year, so we took the 4 wheeler. Brock wanted to walk so Riley got it all to himself!


We had a great time. There was much candy and much running and rejoicing at the candy. And, thankfully, they said Thank You to everyone!

The Spider

*shiver*

This big booger was found around the back patio.


He would have filled up the palm of my hand.


*barf* *shudder* *RUN AWAY*

A week later I was pulling weeds in the front yard and found TWO more of these horrible creatures!


I killed this one before finding his/her buddy.


The buddy was guarding 2 massive egg sacks. UGH. Seriously.

I have not gone looking for anymore relatives in our area!

Soccer time!

We went from not even a little bit of controlled chaos to doing pretty well in soccer this year!




Riley had a really great time and improved more than I thought was possible.




We can't wait for next year!

A trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Both of the kids loved playing in the corn box.




Hay bale maze.




Riley's buddy, Pepper.


Caged, as he should be.


He made sure I got the picture of him touching a goat and then he was done.


Hay ride!




Riley loves his Mrs. Heather! She's such an awesome teacher for my boy.

Brock turns 3!

How I don't have a picture of the whole cake, I don't know! He had a chocolate train cake. He picked the flavor. That's my boy!




Riley certainly enjoyed it, too.


He also picked vanilla ice cream to go along with his cake.




Happy Campers!

Pictures

Just some randoms until I manage to get a real post up!

Ready or not.....


Waiting his turn on the field.


One of my favorite pictures of the boys! I love watching them explore their world.


Fun with Grandpa
