Bass Pro & Santa

We took the kids to Bass Pro Shop in Garland to see Santa and tell them what they wanted for Christmas this year. They were all excited and both did very well waiting in the long line to see the big guy. It was finally our turn and big brother Brayden went first and told Santa what he wanted and had his picture taken. Then, it was Peyton's turn and her smile quickly turned upside down when we asked her to sit on Santa's knee. She was not having any part of that so I sat in the chair with her on my knee and Santa beside us. The picture speaks for itself! After we saw Santa the kids got to make Santa ornaments out of fishing bober's to take home. Just before we left we waited in line for Brayden to get to fish in the small pond out front. It was about to be his turn and then a down pour happened so I guess we'll have to go back again!

West Lake Park

This year we had my big sis Melissa take some family pictures for our Christmas cards. We went to West Lake park in Mesquite and got lucky that they had some great scenery already set up!

Cousins Meghan and Morgan!

Our finished product :-)

Happy Halloween

This year we went trick or treating with our good friends the List's in the Heartland subdivision. David's brother and sister in law live out their so there was a large group of us trick or treating out there. Also, Cassidi, Cristi and Terry got to come out and do some trick or treating with us too! Peyton wanted to be Tinkerbell this year and well Brayden wanted to be a pirate so he became captain hook! They looked too cute in their costumes and are beginning to become real pros at trick or treating. Peyton wasn't scared a bit to go up to the houses to ask for candy and Brayden was fine until mommy got scared by a house that had a spooky scene set up. I was fine until something jumped out at me, but I love Halloween and had to explain to him it was okay and it was just a joke. He recovered from the scare and we had tons of fun walking through the neighborhood!

Brayden has a major fascination with bats.

Aarrrgghh... Captain Hook!

You can't see it but she was showing me her light up wings and her shoes light up too!

Fall Festival at FUMC

On Thursday, October 29th the kids had their school party and fall festival. I was so glad that I was able to come to the party after my class was over. The kids had fun playing the games and eating cupcakes, cookies, etc! The kids have gotten so much candy and they haven't even gone trick or treating yet :-) They are gonna need a visit to the dentist soon, LOL!

Cupcakes I made for the kids school!

Their favorite game, fishing!

Bean bag toss.

Hop scotch.

Mommy gave her a few pointers I learned in my bowling class, LOL!

Color walk.

I got them to sit for a few seconds to take this picture.

Fall Festival at Cowboy Church

On Saturday, October 24th, I took the kids to their school friends birthday party in the morning. They had so much fun hunting for bugs at Lainey and Miller's party! Later that afternoon I took the kids to the fall festival at the List's family's church. It was the coolest thing to get to go into an actual arena and walk around. Everyone there was so wonderful and the best part was that the games, food and drinks were all free! What's better than free entertainment? We had hot dogs, chips and a drink. The kids had a blast playing all of the games and jumping in the bounce house. Brayden and Logan's favorite game was by far the fishing game. They left with a ton of candy that day :-)

Brayden's beginning to get the hang of these horse rides!

He loved every minute of it.

Logan's turn.

Morgan loving the horse ride.

Note:Peyton did not want to go on this horse ride either.

This was her idea of fun!

Canton Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday, October 18th we went with our good friends, the List family to the Canton Pumpkin Patch. This was our first experience at this place and it was wonderful. Their were lots of rides and picture opportunities to be had! We had an awesome time except for a small meltdown from our princess Peyton towards the end of our trip.

Hay ride!
