Happy Halloween!

We had such a great Halloween evening!  Jerry's Aunt Robin and Uncle Mike invited us over for chili and trick-or-treating--fantastic combination!  The food was yummy as always, and the company was great!  Several of our cousins that live up here came over as well, so it was great getting to hang out and catch up with everybody!

Here are our trick-or-treaters........

Treyson the Football

Anniston the Scaredy Cat

 Uncle Mike opening the door to see the kids for the first time!

 Uncle Mike gave Treyson a football signed by John L Smith.  He volunteered at a clinic over the summer at the UofA, and he got one of these.  He is so sweet, he immediately knew he wanted to give it to Treyson!  He is the high school head football coach for the Farmington Cardinals, and told Treyson as we were leaving that he would start working with him on proper technique and skills to develop him into a quarterback.......I'm pretty sure Jerry might have teared up! HA!  Jerry's cousin, Spencer (who is also Uncle Mike's son and an offensive line coach) keeps teasing Jerry that he is going to develop Treyson into a left guard........of course you all have heard me say that Jerry says we're "going for the glory" this time by having a skill player (versus Jerry being an o-lineman, getting beat up, and getting no credit-----bitter much?!?!)

 Uncle Mike, Aunt Robin, and the kiddos

 Spencer and Lyndsay took the kids trick-or-treating (JD went as well--just didn't make this picture, and Jerry was there as the official paparazzi)

 JD helping Treyson line up all of his candy......taking inventory revealed that Tootsie rolls were DEFINITELY the popular candy of choice (at least in this particular Farmington neighborhood!)

 Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!  We sure did!!

Family Fun Halloween Carnival

We took the kids to our church's Halloween Carnival on Sunday evening.  The kids were so excited for their trial run with their costumes.  Anniston is a black cat, and Treyson is a football.

 Caught her blinking AND it's fuzzy.....but it's the only picture I have of her tail!

 The kids played Plinko.....

 Then they pulled a sucker to find out how many pieces of candy they got......

 Treyson shot some hoops (definitely had to lose the costume for this)

 Bean bag toss

 Then we ended with a hayride!

They played several other games, bounced in the jump around, did a inflatable slide, and went through the Haunted House--level 1.....not scary!.  We had a blast, and the kids are even more excited for Wednesday night!!

Fall Family Pictures

We had Blaire Perry from b.Perry Portraiture take our pictures 2 weekends ago.  It was our first time to use her, and I was so impressed with how well things went!  We did what's called a "mini session"....so all of these were taken within 20 minutes!  The kids did so well, and we were super proud of them.  

Watch out family, you may see a Christmas gift or two in here :)

Happy Fall, y'all!!!

Tailgating with a "twist"!!

The kids were so excited to get to tailgate for the Kentucky ballgame.  We opted out of taking them to the game due to the thunderstorms that were being predicted.  Plus, the kids were super-excited about hanging out with their cousins, Caleb and Calvin at the house with their babysitter.  

I actually took my camera (I know, it's still hard for me to believe too!)  Anniston was super-excited to have her picture taken with a "real" Razorback cheerleader.

 And of course Treyson got in on the action!!

 We took the kids across the parking lot and had a special surprise to tell them.  They were BESIDE themselves, and were busting at the seams to get back to their grandparents.  Why?  Because they had an awesome gift to share with them!

 Nanny opening her present.......

 I think MaMa looks a little bit excited!  Why?  Because she just looked at a sonogram of her 8th grandbaby!

 Me showing Treyson how big our Little Bit #3 is right now

 MaMa and Nanny looked at the sonogram and thought it was twins.....WRONG!  That would be a head and abdomen! :)

 Happy Grandmas!

 Jerry was showing the Grandmas how active this little one was while we tried to get a cute picture of it at the doctors office.  It was totally rocking out in the belly.  Was absolutely cracking my OB/GYN up!

We are so thrilled to be expecting our "LB3".  We have named all of our kids Little Bit (then Little Bit #2, now #3) during the pregnancy since we don't find out the gender and don't ever reveal any potential names until the baby has landed safely :)

We are due towards the end of April.  The kids have been so precious with me.  Anniston will come love on my belly.  She kisses the baby every day.  Both kids pray for the baby at night.  Honestly, it moves me to tears it's so precious.  We are beside ourselves with excitement, and pray that LB3 continues to grow, stay healthy, and quit making Mommy nauseous 24/7! HA!
