phone pic dump

It's been a little while since I've posted my phone pics, so here goes...

We bought Grace some hunting clothes.  That's honestly something that I never thought I would have to do.

I think that it is kinda sad that the only COMPLETE conversations that I can have with my husband are on the phone while I'm driving home from school.  But, at least we have these phone conversations!

I made Grace's halloween costume.

I would STRONGLY recommend NEVER buying "silver" tulle!  It is really just glitter wrapped around a spool.  Ugh!!!

Grace was so excited to finally be headed to the hunt house!

Here she is in the deer stand with Poppa.

Hello fall!

John took a ride on the four-wheeler.  Woo-hoo!

Everyone's pumpkins...so cute!

The two little boys took a Cheetos break from the cold!  It was super cold at the hunt house!

Last week, we made spider soup.  What do you think, was it yummy or yucky?

A kitty and a puppy went trick or treating.

Grace loves playing restaurant.  That's really an understatement.  She can turn any item and any setting into a restaurant.  It reached a new level...yes, that is toilet paper wrapped around some silverware.  She carries it around in her uniform skirt pocket.

I honestly have no words for this, just a huge smile!

Last night, we celebrated Charlie's 2nd birthday.

Today, I sharpened this pencil.  Weird.

Happy Monday!

Halloween 2012

Happy Halloween!!!

Grace the Kitty Cat: she decided on the costumes and while most would think these are sweet, innocent costumes, for her these must of been v-e-r-y s-c-a-r-y costumes considering she is absolutely terrified of animals!

Carter the Puppy Dog:  he absolutely LOVES animals and he made the perfect puppy, but he HATED his costume...he's alright for these pics because we were sticking suckers in his mouth in between shots. (Didn't my mom make a super cute costume though?)

We met up with some of our cousins at Grandma and Grandpa's house to go trick or treating.

These three had such a fun time together!

I love their tails...so cute!

And of course, as soon as we got back to Grandma and Grandpa's, both kids had to check out their loot.  (Grandpa may have had a little something to do with that.  Ha!)

I think it's about time to go sneak a little candy from the kids' stash...I haven't had any in about 12 minutes!

the hunt house

This weekend, we went to the hunt house for the youth hunt and our annual fall party.  Tripp, Lily, and Grace were super excited to go hunting!

This was Grace's very first time and she sure didn't know what to expect, but she was ready to go!!!

Poppa took her hunting and he said as soon as she got in the stand, she was ready to come back to the house.  Ha!  She stayed out there a while though!

While the "big kids" were hunting, Carter and Charlie got a lot of playing in!

It was sooo cold and we had to stay warm.  

The girls came back and they didn't shoot anything...

...but they had a fun time and Grace and Poppa saw three deer!

They took a few minutes to warm up inside and then they were back outside to look for treasures!

Kenny and Beth were getting ready to eat taco soup around the bonfire.

Brad and Steph were ready for lunch too!

After we ate, Carter and I took a ride!

Then it was pumpkin carving time!

Carter and Charlie played together a lot, but they also fought a lot!

John (and Grace) did such a great carving our Cookie Monster pumpkin!

Next, we made s'mores...

...and they were yummy!

Carter made sure that I got in on the s'mores action!

While I was trying to get a picture of all our pumpkins, this sweet boy jumped in front of my camera...cheese!

Cookie Monster, Jack o' Happy, and an angel

Mimi and Poppa were snuggling by the fire.

I caught Grace and Carter sharing a snack while admiring the pumpkins!

Poppa and his hunting buddy fell asleep on the couch...how sweet!

The next morning began bright and early with Carter YELLING at us to get him OUT!  We hung out, played, ate, and decorated cookies before we headed home!

Thanks, Aunt Steph!  The cookies were super yummy...especially before lunch!  Ha!
