Family Pics

We finally had our family pictures done. We haven't had any since McKall was born. Hayden is impossible to take pictures of, at least for me, because he can't sit still for two seconds, so I was a little worried about him. It turned out being Mckall who was the cranky one. She is getting her back molars, and it was a little chilly, and she fell on some gravel right as we were starting, and some lady she didn't know wanted to take her picture - so she was just plain in a bad mood. We did have some moments where she was cooperative, so I was pretty happy with how the pics turned out considering the situation.

For Halloween this year Hayden was Spider Man and McKall was a Black Kitty. Hayden got to go to a Halloween party for preschool. This is his sugar cookie they decorated. Yummy!

We had a trunk or treat in beautiful Curtis Park (even I got excited about it and I usually don't like trunk or treats). And guess who wouldn't get out of the car... Hayden...surprise, surprise.

He was so excited to go and see his friends. When we got there none of his friends were there yet so he waited for them in the car. When they got there they started trick or treating and he wanted to go with just his friends and the moms and have none of the siblings go with them. We told him no, so he pouted the entire time and never left the car. Little Miss had fun! She didn't want to go car to car to go trick or treating because she didn't quite understand it, but she had fun.

Caitlyn came trick or treating through the neighborhood with us. The kids just love her and they had a fun time!

Pumpkin Patch

For one of our preschool field trips we took the kids to a pumpkin patch. I thought Hayden would be looking for the biggest pumpkin he could find, but he found this little one he loved.

Hayden and Mckall dancing in the dirt. They weren't the cleanest kids when we left!

The weather was perfect. I love the fall, so it was fun to be outside on a beautiful day.

Here are the boys again making funny faces! Rockwell is not mad... that is his funny face!

McKall loved the swing in the tree.

Soccer

Hayden played soccer this year again. He really loves it, but we did have a rough start to the season. This was due to the fact that Hayden's uniform color this year was blue, and not red like it was last year. Hayden can have a difficult time with change sometimes! He didn't play his first game because he refused to put the uniform on. We worked on it at home and had him wear it before his next game and he was eventually fine with it. On his team picture day he fell asleep in the car on the way to get the pics done. He was very cranky and refused to be in his team pictures in the process of getting them taken. Both of these things happened in matter of a week. It was one of those times as a mom I was saying "why am I doing this." Well, because he is my beans and I love him even when he is a little turkey embarrassing me.

Hayden loves to go and run with the kids! He just laughs and giggles and has the best time. When he is not playing he likes to cheer from the sidelines.

Turkey Bowl

Once again we attended the annual "Turkey Bowl" with Mike's friends. We had a lot of fun hanging out and this year while the boys played football and the kids played the girls did a snake wreath craft and some flower hair clips.

We ate at Buffalo Wild Wings and Hayden was loving the wings!

Preschool

This year for Hayden's preschool we are doing a co-op with his friends Jack, Rockwell, and Gavin. Hayden is loving it! Nearly every morning he wants to know what day it is to find out if he has preschool. This picture is the boys at our house on "D" day showing the Dinosaurs they made. I can't believe my little boy will be in kindergarten next year!
