Update on the kids...

All of our kids have gotten too big too fast, but man are we loving every minute of it!!!

The boys are just two peas in a pod, they love each other so much and it is so precious to watch them grow up together having each other to love on, punch on, bite, hit, wrestle with, and look up to!! They keep us laughing all of the time with the cute things that do together.

Brooks is quite the little ham!! He loves attention and will try to get it any way he can....seriously!! If "MAAAA" doesn't work, he will scream, cry, bite, hit, or make a total unneccessary mess until you give him your undivided attention....hmmm wonder where he got that from???!!

Food is one of the most dangerous things with him....he will eat pretty much anything and makes a disgusting mess with whatever it is....and then he gives you this little grin (like below) and you can't help but love that little man more than you did the minute before!!!

Dani is doing so wonderful!! We miss her every day she is not with us. When she is here she has really been enjoying involvement on the PHISH team at our church. She had her first solo a couple of Sundays ago and she stunned the crowd with her beautiful voice!!

(She has on the white pants in the pic below)

She is growing into a beautiful young lady...don't worry, the shotguns are getting polished!!

I had to throw in some recent pics of me with my little men...I mean seriously they are the two cutest little boys I have EVER seen!!!

This is us on our daily walk!!

Cade has all of a sudden gotten into spiderman and that's all he talks about. He usually has a spiderman in each hand, or lizard man (see pic below). We aren't even really sure where he saw spiderman for the first time, but it is his new interest...let's just say I have mixed feelings about it, but he is a boy and I should have seen this one coming!!

He also loves to wear his spiderman mask (see Halloween post) all the time at home, when he takes a bath, he even tries to wear it while eating but I draw the line when we go into public...which usually turns into a crying fit!!

Cade has had fun lately dressing up in fun costumes, I waited until after Halloween and bought some really cheap for them to play with

Brooks loves shoes right now....he especially loves to get into our closet and walk around in daddy's shoes.....

And they both love to climb all over Daddy....

(yes, Cade is wearing a Buzz Lightyear costume)

A couple of weeks ago Brooks attended his first Zachary Broncos football game....he loved dancing to the music!!

That same weekend Cade and I attended the homecoming parade in town, he was having so much fun until he got pelted in the eye with some candy and then we had to retreat to the car to watch from afar!!

Until next time.....

Cade's FIRST Field Trip

Wednesday, October 24, 2012 Cade had his first field trip to the Pumpkin Patch at Blackwater Methodist in Central, LA.

I took off work because I could not miss this fun day and boy we had so much fun!!!

He is ready to go with his pumpkin shirt on!!!

First we went to the pumpkin decorating station and he got to pick out his pumpkin, get it weighed and measured and then we decorated it with stickers!!

His pumpkin was a whoping 4 oz!!! I tried to convince him to get a bigger pumpkin but he just really wanted the smallest one, so that's what he got!!

Time to decorate....

And here is the finished product!! I told him to make a pumpkin face and this is what he did haha!! PERFECT....

Then we had story time, which was probably his least favorite part but he was good through the whole story!!

Then it was off to the pumpkin patch to take some silly pictures...

Then we took a little hay ride through the forest and saw lots of funny animals and decorations....

Then we went inside for some games and snack time....

Cade and his friend Miles goofed off together for a while

I am pretty sure this was his favorite part...he loved jumping in the blow ups!!

And to finish off the day he did a little fishing. He tried to outsmart me to get another turn and say "Mom we need to get Brooks something"....didn't work :) Sweet little man!!

Here we are making our pumpkin faces together.....

We had a great time on the first field trip and I cannot wait for the next one....SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Trick or Treat

The kids had so much fun trick or treating!!

I mean seriously how adorable are they???!!!!

They both had to have a sucker in hand at all times, I think Brooks had a total of 5 in the 2 hours we were walking.

This year Cade was spiderman and Brooks was a skunk. I know you are probably thinking that a skunk is so random, well last year Cade was the "honebadger" which was a term for one of the LSU football players and we put a LSU jersey over the skunk costume and it was such a hit. Well this year the "honebadger" got kicked off of the LSU team so it just wasn't appropriate, hence the skunk!! But I tell you he was one adorable skunk!!!!!
