Halloween Time

Halloween Time

17 Oct 2015

We wanted to go to a pumpkin patch so we hit Boone Hall again this year and went early enough we could play.

They had a fun hay ride

Jax was not feeling the greatest. We had taken him into the emergency room (always happens on the weekend) cause he said that his stomach was hurting and he wasn't the normal sick, but it was  caulicky so the pain would come and go. Long story short we still have no idea what it was but he was not happy about it for about 3 days.

Lucky Jordyn was independent enough to enjoy the bounce houses without her brother.

We had our church Truck-or-Treat and I didn't bring the camera or slow down enough to take any pictures but I think the kiddos had fun getting all dressed up.

Conversation at the ward truck-or-treat with a little boy who obviously knows Super Mario;
Ezra: What are you?
Tamra: I'm Yoshi from Mario Brothers.
Ezra: (looking unapprovingly at me) you don't look like Yoshi.
Tamra: Haha your right I don't look much like Yoshi.

Babies always are the cutest! And Jordyn for the next few days told everyone that her name was Princess Peach.

I had Jordyn lay down for a nap and I came out to find this...this girl is something else!

Super Mario Brothers! I love that my family lets me dress them up!
Aaron: Luigi, Jax: Mario, Jordyn: Princess Peach, Tamra: Yoshi, Ashlyn: Toad

Jax had fun dressing up as Mario, especially after we let him play Mario Cart.

After a long night a trick-or-treating with the Bishops.

October Fun

3 Oct 2015

 We were so excited to have Uncle Kevin Schade come visit us in Charleston for a dental school interview. Unfortunately he came on the worst possible weekend, the same weekend that we got all that rain.

So he didn't really get to see much...sorry Kevin!

7 Oct 2015

 Well this is what was left after all the rain, a puddle of water in our ball...and the kids made a pool of it. They also where so considerate and didn't want to get their clothes dirty, so they're naked...little crazies!

Papa and Nana Visit Charleston

Papa & Nana Visit Charleston

20th-25th of September

We had to joke that Aaron had to get a gator tag to get my Dad to come and visit us or for me to be having a baby for my Mom to come. So Nana has been to Charelston 4 times (3 with each child's birth) and Papa's first. We were so excited to have them. Aaron and Dad hunted hard every night and some days, they had lots of sighting and even caught a few just didn't fill the tag because they were hoping for a better one. Aaron has yet to fill his tag and as I'm writing this is out trying to fill it. But they seemed to have a great time on each hunt. 

Cypress Gardens

21 Sep 2015

This is a really neat cypress that has a butterfly house w/ a bee farm, an aquarium, live alligators, birds, boats, trails, an old cemetery, gift shop, etc...

 If you keep a sharp eye you've got a pretty good chance of seeing a live alligator in the wild and we did see a few. 

IOP Beach

22 Sep 2015

They came just in time to catch the end of beach season. It was cloudy but just warm enough to enjoy the water.

 Jordyn my beach babe!

 Mom caught me on camera slippin in  a little workout. I feel like my kids should pull their own weight (hehe)

Before the restaurant Nana and I tag teamed giving Ashes her first hair cut. She has such long hair but only on top and it was always in her pretty little face so we decided we're try to trim it.

What a funny little ponytail! 

 Isn't she a cutie!

 This was at the restaurant, and yes we always recommend this place to visitors, it was so good!

 25 Sep 2015

These kids played hard while Nana and Papa where here, to say Jordyn had a melt down while there where here would be an understatment! Luckily it was in the process of putting her to bed.

Trying really had to get these 3 to look and smile at the camera all at the same time...yeah right!

 I love Ashes face in this one. "who put me with these crazies!"

Thanks for making the long drive out to South Carolina! We hope y'all thought it was worth it and we miss y'all already!
