Family Pictures??

We attempted family pictures...see below...need I say more? Pictures and 2 year olds don't mix!!

Mr. Fish and Christmas Fun!

Mika got to bring home Mr. Fish for the weekend. It was her responsibility to take care of him and then journal about all the things she did with Mr. Fish.  Kindergarten is so fun!!

Mr. Fish got to watch us make candy Christmas trees!! I think he even got some green frosting on him.

 So much fun!!

 On Saturday Mr. Fish went with us to the Rockwall parade.

 We had a great time....as the horses passed by Andrew yelled,  "Hi Bella!!" He still thinks all animals are named Bella...he loved it!

On Saturday afternnon Mr. Fish watched the girls make a gingerbread house!

Thanksgiving

We are always thankful...but this year we were extra thankful to have our sweet little boy home with us!! We started the process this time last year and never dreamed we would have him already!!

                                    I am thankful for 3 incredible children!!!

 Andrew tried everything I gave him and he loved everything he ate!! I was so proud of him... he even liked pumpkin pie!!!

Here is a picture of my future little lineman!!

Camping

Fall camping is the best!!!

 I have to explain this picture... my dad built this thingy...not sure what to call it as he took part of an old golf cart and part of an old motorcycle and came up with this.. his grandkid hauler! As you can see one little boy LOVED it and all we heard all weekend was, "ride, ride, ride!"

 Our hiking trip...it is really hard to get 5 kids to all look and smile at the same time!

 My boy had sticks and rocks in his hands all the time...

Pa with his grandkids!!

Trick or Treat!

It's always fun to watch our kids get dressed up and go trick or treating...this year it was extra fun as we got to watch Andrew experience this tradition for the first time.

He was Superman...he wasn't real sure what to think about his costume..but he went with it...for awhile...then he wanted it off! Oh by the way..yes, that is a tent you see in our back yard..we attempted a camp out the night before...that is a different story...lets just say...we didn't last!

Here are the girls! Supergirl, Rodeo girl, and Minnie Mouse!

 My superheros!

 Kennedy and daddy!

 All three...Andrew not wanting another picture!

 This was our next door neighbor, Byron...it was the first house we went to...We had to teach Andrew what to do... it was so funny.. once he picked candy out of the bucket he threw his bucket down and started trying to open the candy!

 This is big cousin, Jake showing him how to walk to the next house!

This was Andrew the whole night.. he would get a new piece of candy and it would go straight to the mouth..wrapper and all! We finally gave him a sucker to put in his mouth..that worked for a while! After a few houses he got the routine down and had a blast with all the othe kids!! It took him an hour to fall asleep that night!
