This and That

This is just a little sampling of what we have been up to this Holiday Season. Starting with our visit to Santa's Workshop. These are all in the wrong order I apologize.


This is Bennett enjoying his Candy Cane from Santa.


After we had seen Santa Grayson is still upset. Daley is so sweet trying to console him.

OK, so Grayson didn't like Santa but he sure enjoyed the candy cane. haha

Halloween 2009

We had a great Halloween this year. The Boys were little spiders and Daley was a pumpkin fairy. they looked adorable and they all had fun trick or treating. We had our annual party at our house this year and we all had a great time. This year we had a chili cook off. We had 7 different types of chili to judge. They were all delicious. We had three winners from three different categories. I didn't get any pictures from the party because I was to busy taking care of business. I always forget darn it. We had some guests dress up, and they looked great. Sorry about the picture overload. There are just so many.

They had just seen Jason walk out in his costume. They all thought it was pretty funny.

Cleaning Out The Closet

As the weather is getting colder I thought it was time to buy Bennett and Grayson new coats and hats for the winter. We ended up buying them yesterday.
So, today I thought I better clean out the coat closet and get rid of old coats, scarves, hats, and gloves that no longer fit and make room for the new. I must say we have accumulated quite a bit over the past few years. So many baby mittens and cute fuzzy hats.
I was having a hard time packing the stuff away. It seems like only yesterday Daley was a little baby and now the boys are already getting so big too. Makes me sad. Anyway, while I was cleaning, the kids had to try everything on. It was pretty cute so I grabbed my camera and started snapping and this is what I saw.

Daley with all of the garb on.
Ahhh!
Not sure if he wants a kiss. haha

This is Grayson in Daley's old coat. This was my favorite little jacket. She looked so cute in this. Grayson looks pretty cute too. Funny boy.
He still isn't sure about his sister giving him so much love.
My three monsters.

Brothers. Bennett is actually wearing his new jacket here. Grayson didn't want to take off the pink coat.

Funny little guys.

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Daley had a Field Trip with her Preschool Class. They went to the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkin. The day couldn't have been more beautiful. The kids had a hay rack ride and learned how the pumpkins grow. It was really cute. I was glad I was able to go. I enjoyed it as well. Daley got a pumpkin from the patch and then she thought we needed to pick out some baby pumpkins for the brothers. I thought that was sweet of her to think of them. So, at this point we have many pumpkins in front of our house. Jason's Dad grew pumpkins that are very BIG and some regular size so we have those plus our others. I will have to take a picture of the front of our house and post it. It looks like we have our own little pumpkin patch in the front yard. :)

Snack time.

Play time.

Cider Fest 2009

I don't have a whole lot of time to type right now, but I want to get these posts done as they are already way late. We went to the Cider Fest two weekends ago. This has become a yearly event. Daley loves going to ride the little horses and get her face painted. The boys loved playing around in all of the bright orange pumpkins. I couldn't quite get the pictures of the boys that I wanted but what else is new. I just can't seem to get them to look at the camera at the same time. Oh well, they are cute pics anyway.

Daley and her face painting.

Picking The Weeds

That is what Daley did most of the time at her first soccer game last Saturday. It was just too cute. These kids are all 4-5 years old and trying so hard, but their attention span just doesn't quite last long enough. So they resort to picking the weeds or their noses. We have been geared up for a while to play soccer. It all started when Daley was about 2 1/2. We were getting ice cream one night and she noticed the soccer players in the fields next to us. She then told me that when she grows up she wants to play soccer. Also, if anyone is familiar with Dora the Explorer you know that soccer is her sport of choice. Daley loves Dora so, that was probably a driving force. Jason is the assistant coach and he really seems to enjoy it. They had two games on Saturday. One at 10:00 and the other at 12:00 they don't keep score, but they lost the first and won the second. So here is to a fun soccer season. Go team blue!
There she goes.
So cute. Love her purple ball.

Grayson is getting in to the game.
She is telling him he better get back.

Noyt sure what is going on here.

Time to pick her teeth.

Labor Day Weekend....A Little Late

Just now getting Labor Day Weekend pictures posted I'm a little behind but that is my life. We went to Table Rock Lake for the Holiday weekend with my family and had a great time. The boys were little troopers and Daley had a great time with her cousin Brittley. We stayed in these cute little rustic cabins. I forgot to take pictures of the cabins go figure. After the trip was over I was exhausted. It is a lot of work traveling with the boys. I have a hard time being out of our "controlled" environment. By next summer, they will be so much easier. They are just so mobile and can't understand why you can't run in to the street, walk off the dock in to the water, etc... you catch my drift. This week we are getting excited for Bluegrass. It will just be Daley for the Bluegrass trip. The boys are staying with Grandma and Grandpa B.. We will miss them but will have much needed relaxation with out them. On to the pictures

I felt so bad for the little guys. The life Jackets were really annoying them. This is Grayson not looking to happy.

We tried really hard to get a picture of all of the kids. This is what Grayson kept doing. Running away.

This is as good as we could get.

Sleepy Grayson. They boys were almost instantly to sleep as soon as the boat started moving. The rocking motion really made them tired

Sleepy Bennett.

Sleepy Daley. All of these sleeping pictures were taken on Sunday afternoon. All of the kids fell asleep at the same time. It was so peaceful riding across the water sleeping children in arms and just enjoying life.
