Halloween

What a Halloween we had! It takes more than cold, rainy weather to keep us from trick-or-treating! Here's our gang at a neighbors house getting candy.

Jordan, Taylor, Adrianna and Boston striking a pose.
Carey, Gammy and Chris all dressed up like Spiderman so that we could be one big happy spider family. Gammy even padded her costume for muscle effect. When it came time to put Boston's Spiderman costume on, HE REFUSED!! We forcefully put the costume on him, and he cried about the padded muscles hurting him! We were so disappointed to go out of our way to match him, and then he just wasn't having it. What a PUNK!!

We had some fun friends join us in our Halloween fun. Paula and her family & Tasha and her family joined us for trick-or-treating. It was fun to have a big group running from door to door. Shannon, Keith and Thiggy stayed at our house and handed out candy to the trick-or-treaters. (thanks guys!!) All in all, we had a successfully fun filled Halloween.

Halloween festivities at our local Publix

Believe it or not, Publix was a Halloween hot spot! I was shocked to see how many trick-or-treaters were there. Every department had an organized event that the kids could participate in.

Thanks to the Woods, Cerseys and Dollars for hanging out at Publix with us.

Mom's Birthday!

My mom's birthday is October 13th. I invited my family over to my house for dinner to celebrate. We had a wonderful time spending time together and eating good food. (if I do say so myself)

Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you!!

Silly Boston

Where's Boston? He has really gotten attached to his stuffed animals lately and wants more to add to his collection. I'm trying to be supportive of his childish desires, but I've always thought that stuffed animals were a waste of space. Oh well, at least he uses his. He chooses different ones to nap and sleep with. It's very tender to see him cuddle up with his fuzzy friends.

We had to capture the wild animal. It's hard to cage the beast inside. Butters didn't mind sharing her crate for a while.

Another Trip to South Carolina

One of the reasons Courtney flew all the way from Utah was to visit our Grampa Warner. So, me, mom, dad and Courtney drove 6 hours in one day to do just that. It was great to visit with my grandparents again. We are wish Grampa nothing but the best during this physically and emotionally trying time. Love you Grampa.

Courtney Visits Georgia

My sister came to visit us in Georgia! She stayed 5 nights and I spent 4 nights at my parents house so that I could be with her as much as possible. It was so great to be with my big sis again. She wasn't able to bring any of her kids with her and that was a bummer. I adore her kids!! Yet, it was nice to have her less distracted during her visit. We were able to play some board games without the interruption of our children. Thanks to Rhonda and Jim for watching Boston some for me so that I could spend some quality time with my sister.

Visiting my Grandparents in South Carolina

We drove 7 hours in one day (round trip) to visit my grandparents in South Carolina. It was wonderful to catch up with them. Aren't my Grandparents the cutest? I just love them so much and wish that we could move their home in South Carolina to Loganville, Georgia. Grampa started chemotherapy to treat his recently detected pancreatic cancer. I love my grampa very much and am hoping for a speedy recovery.
