Kennan's Fortune Cookie

We went out for Chinese today after church with Kenny's parents. Kennan got a fortune cookie and it said: Your curious nature will take you somewhere special. His response: I think I know the place...heaven! What a sweet boy! I know I have a lot of blog catching up to do. Maybe I will get to it this week!

Graffiti Anyone?

My sweet, precious, angelic, I-never-thought-he-would-do-this 4 year old son created this work of art today. He chose the couch for his canvas and blue crayon as his medium. Currently, he is not charging for his work...so if you need any of this at your house just give us a call.

For the record it says "MASON KENNAN". Last I heard they weren't friends because one wasn't nice to the other. I guess they are still close enough for Kennan to have done this.

Here's to hoping daddy gets home soon. He has been gone for the last 28 hours, 49 minutes, 22 seconds. Lucky for him, both children are still alive and I have all of my hair.

Leaves and an Update

We have been enjoying some beautiful weather in our part of the state lately! With the beautiful fall weather comes leaves falling from the trees...which leads to lots of piles of leaves to jump in! Now, how wants to come over to rake and bag them? We have LOTS!!!!
Baby boy Grayson is doing great! I am about 22 1/2 weeks and feeling huge! He is extremely active lately, especially in the mornings and at night time. The other morning Brayden was laying in bed with me and was kissing all over my belly. She put her hand on it and Grayson kicked at her! She loved it and talked about it for days! Kennan isn't as curious...I guess his attitude is "been there, done that".
Today was Kenny's day off so we made a trip to the "big town" so he could visit a church member and we could get some Christmas shopping done. While Kenny entertained the kids on one side of the store, I quickly made my way down the aisles gathering everything we had picked for them. It was fun to be sneaky...now we just have to hide them for about 6 weeks!We are looking forward to Thanksgiving! This year my in-laws, mom, dad and brother, and mom's side of the family are coming to see us. I have never prepared a turkey so I'm a little nervous about that, but am thankful my mom will be here to help me. It will be fun to have all of the cousins together again...it has been awhile!

That's it for now! Hope you enjoyed the leaf pictures as much as the kids (and hubby) enjoyed playing in them! Happy Fall Y'all!!!

I have to admit that I was slightly disappointed that no one commented on my last post. And it was a fun one! Hint, hint...

Pumpkins, Costumes, and Candy...Oh My!!

I think we had a great Halloween celebration! We started off with a Trunk or Treat at the church on Wednesday evening. No pictures to share as Kenny and I were both really busy with all the festivities! Even though we got rained out in the end, we had a great turn out from the community!

Thursday after Kenny got home from work the kids helped him carve a pumpkin. While Kenny was at work Kennan drew out the plans for the pumpkins and it was Kenny's job to follow through on the actual pumpkin. We only ended up carving one. I think it turned out pretty well...what do you think??

Kennan's drawing and the real thing!

Kenny's mom, Lala, flew in to spend the weekend with us. Here are the kids with Lala before Trick or Treating...

Happy Halloween!!
