We had a perfect day/night for our annual pumpkin party.
The great thing about the kids getting older means that I don’t get my hands messy- I can just take pictures.
Even Cole did his own (with a little help from his dad)
Austin somehow talked Devon into working on his pumpkin
MaryBeth Likes the guts
The end results

Last night kicked off the first of our Halloween activities. Today as Blake was getting ready for one of his parties- he’s going as a hippie, Cole decided that he wanted to put Blake’s costume on. He looked so cute!!
Cole is actually going as Yoda. Which is also pretty funny.
Love Halloween.
The perspective of this picture looks a little off, not to mention the beadboard walls in the screened porch really stand out- these will be painted white. See that little face to the left of the ladder? Always showing up in my pictures somewhere.
We’re getting there….
Up on the site are a few Jordyn bags

Yikes. I knew it was looking kinda bad lately on the outside but I didn’t expect that. It has to be...
Even though we have added a bathroom to our house (from 3 to 4) we still only have one potty right now. For a family of five this can be challenging. It can also be challenging when there are always workers hanging out in or near the only bathroom, or the water is...
Yesterday my oldest baby got braces.
I have been enjoying these (2 so far) ortho appointments. I pull Austin out of school and we always have to squeeze lunch out of the deal- even if it is only 10:30am. My mom used to be in such a rush to get me back to school when I...
even Star Wars guys need a little rest
Especially when they aren’t feeling too great
And sometimes
the trusty side-kick decides to take a break too
Over the last year Blake started having a lot of nightmares (mostly about monsters and such) and coming into our room multiple times a night complaining about them. But recently he stopped so I asked him if his nightmares had stopped.
He said, “no, I still get bad dreams sometimes but I figured out what to...
