The Arboretum

 My mom and I took the kids to the arboretum on Thurs. since they have all their Halloween/fall stuff out and we thought it would be something fun for the kids.  I was hoping to get some good pictures too, of the kids, but seriously, I don't know how photographers do it!  :)  You'll see what I mean as you scroll down! 

 Sadie's not so sure about what she is sitting on!

Sadie loved the flowers! 

Trying to get a good shot of brother and sister sitting together smiling on a bench.  :) 

 Still attempting to get that shot.

 Sweet Trey.

 Sadie LOVES to run away when we are anywhere outside of the house.  Here is my mom in the background bringing her back, and Trey running to me.

 Again, trying to get a good shot of Sadie, but she is interested in the camera and moves closer.

 Our pack mule (the stroller).

 Sadie running.

 A little old house.

 Sadie loved the pot she found inside the house. 

Trey inside a teepee. 

 Covered wagon.

 I had to get a picture of Sadie's cute tennis shoes.  They sparkle.

 Home from the arboretum and ready for a nap!  Sadie always sleeps with her pink soft blankie and her kitty...and now she likes to have a little book in bed too.

 Here's a shot of J's 7 month photo!  Happy 7 months JJ!

Halloween Part 2

 Trey is on the front row...Buzz Lightyear.  This is his pre-k class.

 He got to pick a pumpkin and have treats.  The parents were able to go and take pictures.

 I had to get a picture of the 3 kids on the stroller.  I push all three kids like this and get A LOT of stares!

 Pumpkins and snacks.

This is a random picture of a really awesome puppet show that I took the kids to today at the Plano library.  I have never seen anything like it.  It was so cool!  They had audio playing and several different large puppets and the cutest puppet play...This is a puppet theater built into the wall with like a room back behind where the puppeteers stand behind a curtain...so fun!

Haallooowwweeeennnn...part I

Sadie is a little confused about potty training...

 J is sleeping in his pack n play now...

Once a week Sadie, James and I go to something at church called "Music Makers" with other friends around Sadie's age.  The mom's take turns doing songs, reading books, having snacks and marching to music, etc.  It's a  lot of fun.  This was our halloween themed music makers where everyone wore their costumes and exchanged candy and did different fun activities.  Sadie is a strawberry fairy!

 Parading their costumes...

 Sadie shaking her musical instrument.

J is a horse. 

 Eating candy after the candy exchange.

All the fun put Sadie right to sleep.

Kids...

 Sadie LOVES hats.  :)

 Our usual Trey...excited about life!!

James.  I think he had just woken up in his swing. 

 At the Park!

 The backside of little bug.  She likes to put her arms through the side of the swing.  She doesn't like the baby swing.  And, her daddy usually does her hair.  :)

 Del with his two boys.

 Trey swinging.

 Sadie, in her crib.  I don't think she felt well.

 Trey, loving life...and eating breakfast.

 JJ.

These are some blocks that I made at a Relief Society meeting.

catchin' up

 The Nightly ritual:  While I'm getting J to bed, Del reads stories to Trey and gets him to bed.  Sadie is already in bed at this point.

 Our little bug.

Our two blue-eyed boys!

Halloween sneak-peak!  Sadie is going to be a strawberry fairy.

J and cousin Julie.

Trey loves the puzzle books.
