Happy Halloween

October 2014

This is Jordyn when we found a dragon costume while getting out the Halloween decorations.

Krispy Cream gave away a dozen donuts to people dressed as pirates and it took some convincing but Jax and I where the only ones to dress up. But hey we got 2 dozen!

I cried this day...Jordyn fell out of a swing and chipped her tooth. I was so concerned with the cut on her lip I didn't realize she had  a chipped tooth till we got home. My poor baby, no wonder why she was crying so long, she's normally so tough. She since has had it fixed, THANK YOU to dentists!!!

 We drove all the way out to Boone Hall's Pumpkin Patch and realized they closed in 1/2 hour...lame!

At least we got to wander around a really cute pumpkin patch =)

 Jordyn was upset that she couldn't pick up the pumpkin.

Pumpkin Carving

 Another year of pumpkin carving! I love Jordyn's face in this pic!

Yes, Daddy usually does most of the work. Our kids are not that into pumpkin brains yet...maybe one more year?

And the finished product...Frankenstein!!!

East Texas

31 August 2014

We were alb to stop through on our way back to South Carolina to see Grandma and Grandpa Tossey and Nauna and Grandpa Steve. I was just peeping myself for the 2 day drive by myself with 2 kids that I didn't take too many pictures. But we where able to stay the night with Grandma & Uncle Doug in their new camper. Jax really enjoyed getting to play with the grasshoppers.
The next day we spent a few hours with Grandpa Tossey and terrorized his cats.
Later that evening we hung out at Steve and Suzan's home where Grandpa Steve gave us a ride on his trailer behind the lawnmower. Jax could have gone all night, but my butt couldn't take anymore!
We had so much fun on our trip and the drive back wasn't too bad. It was all worth it to come in and see Daddy!! boy did we miss him!

Tx Part 4: Lubbock

Texas Part 4: Lubbock

Lubbock Children's Museum

We went with Mom to Lubbock because she had a meeting for Young Womens and we wanted to see our cousins some more. It was great, we went with Elizabeth, Kyler, Damon and Radley to their children's museum and the kids loved it.

 Jordyn doing a news cast.

Jax was so funny during his news report!

 These boys where having a blast! We looked over to see Jax and Damon discovering how to shoot the water off the table and they thought it was so funny!

 Later we went down stairs where they had an aquarium and Jax loves his fish!

 Jordyn was a little interested to see what this thing was.

Babysitting

 Later that night as Elizabeth and Mom went to some meetings we added a few more to the bunch when Kevin and Kerry dropped 4 of their 5 off because they also had meetings. Uncle Kenney did awesome entertaining them with "Woody the Wood Pecker" and popcorn. 

Jace, Damon, Gentry, Avery, Kyler, Jax and Conner

The next morning I was on my own with these stinkers. I woke up to a faint cry. Noticing 1st: that is was Damon, 2nd: That is didn't sound like it was in the living room (he was sleeping in Kenney and Elizabeth's room). So I jumped out of bed to quickly check Kenney's room and see he's not in the apt. and run outside to Damon crying for his parents. I don't think he was out there long but it sure scared me.

Then all the boys wanted to dress in their batman clothes!

Lubbock Texas Temple

 After Mom's meeting that morning we had to get back to Childress for a doc appt but squeezed in just enough time to go by the Lubbock Temple. Crazy! a lot has changed since I was last here. Because the last time I was here was my wedding day. 2 1/2 kids later, and now even though Aaron was not able to be with us we can always be together because of that special day.

 I love how sweet they can be. They love holding hands...for now.

 And this is the look Jordyn gave us after we got strapped back in for the 2 1/2 hr drive back to Childress. I think she was a little tired of her carseat.
