Twins?

No. But they sure could pass for brothers!

Halloween Fun

Our Halloween this year was lots of fun as usual! Our small group came over here and we took on our neighborhood for trick-or-treating. Then we came back to the house and enjoyed an incredible dinner and let the kids play. It's not Halloween without letting the kids stay up way too late and eat more candy than their supposed to, right? Enjoy the pics...

The cowboy and the ladybug Annely Blake was a trooper all night, despite an ear infection and 103 temp
The two best buds- that inseparable pair of Lukester and Willster



I tried to get all the kids in the picture but you know how that goes

Riding in style- that's what I call front door service!

I think Will is trying to tell me something....


I had no part of this. Really. I just walked in the other day and saw it sitting there. And he didn't even tell me he did it. We all had a good laugh about this one.

Growing up is hard to do.....

They grow up so fast. How many times have you heard that one? Our two seem to be growing and learning at lightning speed these days. I guess someone told them to grow up and get out of the way....there's a baby coming soon :)

Little princess has entered and taken over toddler-hood. I can't keep up with her word count, it grows every day. She's also started counting, singing ABC's, picking out her "shoosh" each day, and giving her brother a run for his money. We couldn't have been given a more perfect girl to sandwich between two boys. She don't take nothing from nobody :) Here she is in the big girl bed. We're getting her used to this before we move her next month into a twin bed in Will's room. So far she's taken to it wonderfully, and even stays in her bed after she wakes and sings and talks. We can't believe she's not going to be the baby much longer :(
Will. Oh, Will. Ever the handful, but definitely not a baby any more. I've realized somewhere between 3 and 4 he went from toddler to "boy." And boy he is. Our conversations are both hilarious and deep these days. He has an insatiable curiosity, and like his father, asks "why" 4+ million times a day. He's doing great in school, has memorized the pledge, and is recognizing letters and will be reading before we know it.

This is at school where we went to eat lunch with him on the playground. We are thankful he loves school and has learned a great deal about responsibility, and being a good friend.


And finally, speaking of growing. Our newest one at 26 weeks. Just over three months until the newest little guy arrives. Has it really been 4 years since we had a baby boy in the house?

Lately

I know I haven't been very good about blogging lately. Just blame it on being pregnant and lazy. These last picture were taken two weekends ago at the UGA/BAMA game in Athens. Not a great game, mind you, but we had a good time tailgating. Matt and I will be busy in the next few months transitioning Annely Blake into Will's room. We're adding twin beds, a new bookcase, and painting and sprucing it up, hoping they will share nicely the space that has been all Will's for the past year and a half. Here's to hoping for a smooth transition :)

Anyways... pics from the game:
Uncle James in the red pants- Annely Blake's favorite person in the whole wide world-
Me with the kiddos-

Will was in some kind of mood that day-
and lastly, the cutest 17 month old I know :)

What do we do...

when Will's in school, you might ask?

Well, today we played outside.... (with my $6 attic sale find!) did mountains and mountains of laundry...
AB got stuck and spent ten minutes trying to figure out how to get down....

she finally whined enough and I helped her out....
Other things accomplished on the to do list:
-sorting through AB's summer clothes and boxing some of them up
-getting fall clothes out and in the drawer
-working on Beth Moore homework
On the menu tonight: corn and potato chowder to celebrate the cool, breezy weather!
Next up: packing and getting ready to head to Athens for the weekend for the UGA/Bama game! Go Dawgs!!!!!

Mountain Trip 08

We were able to spend a few days last week relaxing at my family's mountain cabin. The weather was fabulous! Matt did a little work with my dad around the property with the chainsaw, and caught a few fish at the pond with Will. We took many walks and saw some deer, but much to Will's disappointment, no bears. I took a bunch of pictures so I included the link if you want to view them.

My New Ride

Otherwise known as DOC (death of cool). There she is. She sure was great when we went out of town last week. Never thought I'd be so excited about a minivan.
