Trick or Treatin'

The kids started Halloween at school with their costume parade. Brex went to that and than went to his Halloween party at school.  They had games and a trunk or treat.  He had so much fun and said he couldn't wait to do more.  We had a blast going around to all the houses on Halloween night and the kids got just the right amount of candy.  We got to see Jack from the movie Nightmare before Christmas.  He was on stilts(picture below) and we saw a grim reaper on stilts too that was cool too.  I'm glad Halloween is over and the kids are already planning their costumes for next year.

Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins 2 nights before Halloween.  The kids were awesome helpers.  Brex and Trey don't like to clean out the seeds but Elle is all over it.  We were going to do elaborate designs but decided to stick with the good ol' fashion shapes.  They turned out pretty awesome and the kids had a blast!

Pumpkin Patch

Over Fall Break we headed down to Overton to spend the few days off with Cale's parents.  While there we went to a pumpkin patch.  Each of the kids got to hand pick their own pumpkins.  The kids were extra spoiled this year in pumpkins.  Every year my parents give them pumpkins from their garden.  It's such a fun tradition, one that they look forward to every year.  What was awesome about going to the pumpkin patch and getting my parents pumpkins was that we got to carve and spray paint the pumpkins.  It was a fun fall break and I think it's now a new tradition to get 2 pumpkins each year.

They have all found their perfect pumpkins

 Even mommy and daddy participated.

Tuachan Mary Poppins

Mary Poppins was one of the plays at Tuachan this year.  Elle had begged all summer long to go see it so with a stellar deal on tickets that uncle dan got us we went. Cale's parents and Dan came with us so we had a crowd for sure but we all had a blast!  Brex fell asleep about half way through but that's okay. It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be and Elle loved it. She's already asking to go next year and we don't even know what's playing yet.  

Preschool Pictures

This little boy of mine had school pictures a couple of weeks ago and here are the results.  I love the first 2 pics.  They totally show his personality.  How we love this little guy of ours!!

Funnies

I've posted a lot about soccer but that's what we've been doing since the end of Aug.  We are on mid way and will end the 2nd or 3rd week of Nov.  Brex had a bye this week and was a little disappointed.  Trey's team played awesome. He played really aggressive and had some awesome shots. Elle's team was firing on all cylinders today and too played awesome!  She really knows how to boot the ball across the field and knows exactly where to throw in to get a score made.

 Here is Trey with Maxx and his crew. 

He had a blast riding grandma's pink beach cruiser 

 We got the kids their halloween costumes and they couldn't wait to try them on.

In other news the kids are quite humorous.  There is never a day that goes by that one of them doesn't have us crackin up with what they have to say.  While we were in the car the other night the kids were being a little rambunctious and got in trouble when Cale asked them what we should do about it Elle said "let bygones be bygones."  We started crackin up.  We picked up cheese quesadillas and Trey goes "ewww they put grass in mine" I said that's not grass it's cilantro.  These are just a few of the funnies that we hear daily. I wish that I could have a video going 24/7 to catch all of the moments that we get to have. 

 I love this crazy family of mine.

Color Me Rad

Trey loves to run.  I'm not sure where he picked up this love for running but he has it and lucky for me and him Uncle Dan like to run too.  This past weekend they ran the color me rad 5k race.  Auntie Polly came down to run it with them and they had a blast! They started at 9am and Trey was on the soccer field ready to play by 10am.  The poor kid was so tired but he dug deep and played amazingly considering he just ran a 5k.  His Soccer team is still undefeated and they are really really good.  Brex and Elle played on Saturday too and their teams were a little bit off but that's okay they are geared up for this weekend's games.  This is our life for the next month and a half.  It's fun and it gets us out of the house and honestly it's a blast! We wouldn't have it any other way.
