Trick-or-Treat

Here's some pictures from trick-or-treating. Meghan went as a hippie and Nick was a Texas Rangers baseball player.

Before we walked around the neighborhood, we went to our church's Fall Fest. Here's Nick's best friend Jake and his sister.

Meghan and her friend Tess..

Granmom came over and passed out candy while we walked around the neighborhood. Thanks Granmom!!

Meghan and her friend Natalie

Here's the friends we go trick-or-treating with every year....Natalie (the honey bee), Jake (BatBoy) & Claire (Bat Girl). We walked the entire street this year...for those of you who don't know where we live, it's long. Nick skipped the last two houses because he was so tired.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Grandma Kate! So sorry you're sick on your birthday. Hope you feel better soon and we'll see you next month. Look for you package in the mail - it should be arriving soon.

Fun in Dallas

My mom and I took the kids to Dallas yesterday. We met Meghan's friend, Aubree, and her mom. We went to the Arboretum and then over to American Girl. This was the first time we have been to the Arboretum and loved it. We'll have to go back sometime when Ryan and my dad can go with us. Here are a few pictures from our day.

This was a 15-foot house made entirely of pumpkins.

Check out these big pumpkins! I don't think I've ever seen any this big...

At American Girl, the girls did lots of shopping and made out their Christmas lists. My mom took Meghan and Aubree to "Molly's Halloween Party" where they had dinner and made two crafts. The girls had a great time.

Happy Birthday Cole!

Happy 12th Birthday to our very favorite (and only) dog!

Happy Birthday PaPa!

Happy Birthday PaPa Rick! Wish we could spend the day with you but we'll see you at Thanksgiving. Hope you have a great birthday and a great year!

Carnival Fun

On Friday night, the kids school had a fall carnival - the first in several years so it was a huge success. Ryan and I worked a booth most of the night so my mom took the kids around for us. Many, many thanks to my mom - the kids had a great time because of her. Here's Meghan (and Nick in the next picture) playing a game...

Happy Birthday Granmom!

Happy Birthday Granmom! (Don't worry - we won't tell how old you are). We love you and can't wait to see you at dinner tonight. Hope you have a wonderful day and an even better year.
