Trick or Treat

Well the kids were super excited about getting to trick or treat, They actually never put there costumes on before Halloween, we usually have something to wear them to but not this year. We had our neighbors over for burgers before hand so we spent the day cleaning the house and grocery shopping so the kids were definietly anxious and ready to put on the costumes. I tried to hold them off on getting dressed but they were ready so there was more waiting once they were dressed.

and there off



checking out what they collected. Addie decided to pick out ten pieces of candy and just eat one piece a day to avoid a stomach ache, I was pretty impressed, we gave out the rest of the candy to other trick or treaters.



This is a video of trick or treating, Court cracks me up when he knocks at doors, "oh Hello"

Flower girl round 2

Addie was asked to be the flower girl in our friend Kelly's wedding. Kelly works at Mike's office and has known Addie since she was born. Last year Addie was a flower girl for my brother's wedding and did great so I was much less nervous about her going down the isle the second time around than the first. Although this wedding was going to be a little different since it was outside on the castle hills golf course. It was a gorgeous day. 10-10-10 by the way. Addie walked down the isle just fine, she ended up having to sit down with me during the ceremony and got really tired afterwards. But I now know she was on the verge of getting sick. She ended up with a stomach bug that lasted nearly two weeks. I'm so glad she didn't get sick before or during the wedding. As always here are some pics taken from my camera. I'll show more as the professional ones come in.

so excited about the basket Kelly gave her at the rehearsal dinner

state fair and pumpkin patches

Well we always say we aren't fair people, and somehow we always end up going to the fair at least once during the season. This year was no exception, My brother David and his wife Lindsey came to visit and since they have never been and it was a gorgeous day we decided to venture down to fair park to check it out. We also took the kids to a pumpkin patch the next day before our company left to go watch the Arkansas vs. A&M game.
