Halloween

For Halloween the boys were Tonto and the Lone Ranger.  We visited a few places during the day, went to the costume party in Leonard and then made our stops throughout Shelby County :)  The boys loved being the REAL Lone Ranger & Tonto, had tons of fun, and got lots of candy, of course!

We ended the night at mom & dad's, got to see the Belts and Kyle & Steph even drove up to see all the kids so they were a bit wound!

the end of the night and still smiling!

Lane's Birthday Party

Lane is super blessed and had tons of family & friends at his birthday party.  He had an awesome cake (thanks Kayla), got lots of fun presents and had a blast eating said cake and playing!  Oh yeah, and skipping naptime :)

 The awesome cake.... Tonto & Scout -just in case you aren't familiar with them :)

and dig into the cake



Lane's Birthday

Laner turned 2!  When I asked him what he wanted for breakfast before I could even offer suggestions, like waffles, pancakes, french toast, bacon & eggs or another yummy breakfast, he yelled "poptarts!"  So poptarts it was :)

 Can you tell by the above picture he is a little ornery?!?

I love this one...makes me smile every single time I see it

Hayride

Our second annual hayride in October was on a gorgeous day and we had a great time with everyone that came!  We started off painting pumpkins.

 

and playing some ball

 before roasting some hotdogs and eating

 Then we went on our hayride...it was pretty warm and the hayride was along a new route this year since we moved...

 all the kids were having fun

 laughing and playing around

 until the pond monster got us!

 Kale and the other 3 year olds were not very happy and I still get told by both boys "no more hayrides".  We all had a good laugh and the kids were better after the pond monster took off his mask and showed his face

most of the kids after the hayride....

Kale had to go potty and Keagan was asleep in the truck so they are missing

My Birthday

I had a great birthday with a weinie roast at mom & dad's with everyone there.  That night when we got home and were getting the boys ready for bed I decided we should take some pictures so I got some with the boys...

 And got one of Kale & Jason reading and then asked Lane to get with them so we could take a group picture...

 I'm not sure what he did, but he was about to get in trouble by Jason. 

 and then cracked his dad up and everything was fine :)

Fall Fun

 Jason's fall turkey

 We finally got some bales of straw & corn stalks to go with our pumpkins & scarecrow

 the Belt kids came over to hang out one day while Jessi & Travis went to a cold wet ballgame...we watched it inside and stayed nice & dry. Here they are watching the Lone Ranger before Andi decided she didn't like it :)

 spiders for snacks one day

 Kale wasn't so sure about his spider...I think Lane ended up eating it

 getting ready to take a family picture....and a good one to go with it
