Ride em' cowboy!!





This is Connor riding the mechanical bull at the fall festival at Granddaddy's golf course. He was trying so hard not to fall off. Kaylee also rode the bull (or horsey) as she called it. The bull was much calmer with her on it!! They had a great time playing all the games and eating all the treats! Thanks Granddaddy for taking us all!!

Halloween Party











Last week our playgroup got together for a Halloween party. The kids enjoyed cookies, cupcakes and fun with their friends. Kaylee loves wearing her clown costume. Here are a few pictures from that day.

Crazy Kids




I just had to share these pics. Connor and Kaylee decided they were going to try to avoid going to bed by making mommy laugh at the two of them playing in the clothes basket. The two of them can be quite humorous together! The pictures of Andy and Connor need no explaining - they are just goofs!

God's Great Promise


These pictures do not even begin to the describe the rainbow that we saw from our deck last week. We have been studying Genesis in my bible study and we're talking the very same week about God's promise to his people and his sign of a rainbow. What a wonderful reminder of His faithfulness to us!!!

Pumpkin Patch








We went to the Pumpkin Patch with some friends and had a great time. Connor was all about picking a pumpkin and Kaylee enjoyed the cow train. Connor can't wait until we can cut the pumpkin so he and Daddy can roast the pumpkin seeds!
