Pumpkin carving...

Megan was the only one of the kids who would take out the pumpkin guts!

Not only did she touch it, she ate it too...just kidding!

I couldn't get the boys to even touch the inside of the pumpkins...
They settled on pretending to eat the insides too!

What fine creations, don't they look great?

Swimsuits in October???

We recently got a hot tub. The kids have had fun playing in it. Even though it is smaller, they still think it is just like a pool for swimming, diving, etc. It is funny to listen to Dilan and his two friends try to play Marco Polo in a hot tub.

Megan is showing off her diving skills...look at that form. Pretty impressive for her first time huh? She thinks she is amazing and that is all that matters!

Pumpkin Patch

Of course, Kendall is hitching a ride back with dad.

Fortunately, we picked a nice, warm sunny day to go to the pumpkin patch. Don't get me wrong, it was still plenty muddy, but at least it wasn't raining.

Kendall's favorite part of the pumpkin patch was sitting in the wheelbarrow with the pumpkins. When I took her out, she just cried and cried.

The pumpkin patch we go to had a spongebob theme this year. We had to search through the corn maze for hidden yellow mailboxes. Inside these mailboxes were stickers. We had to collect the stickers and then find our way to the crabby shack to create a crabby patty. After doing this, we found our way out and the kids got their prize. The kids had a blast!

Here are the kids on top of the crabby shack.

Here they are inside the crabby shack.

Enough already-

Usually she is all smiles for the camera. However, sometimes I am sure she is just thinking "Ok, I am done with the camera thing!"

These must be two of those moments.

Another visit from the tooth fairy

All he wants for Christmas is his two front teeth! (I always wanted to sing that song as a kid, but the timing never quite worked out).

Kids being kids!

So, one Sunday after church, the kids were playing on the stairs sliding down on blankets or something. Aaron saw them and told them to all go get their sleeping bags because he needed to show them something.

Of course he had to demonstrate, but the rest of the night, the kids were occupied. AND-nobody got hurt!

Pictures for everyone...

While we were getting pictures of the three little girls, the other kids wanted to join in the fun. So we have Boni's son Cole, then Boni's daughters Hallie and Lexi, then Robyn's daughter Brynn, my daughters Kendall and Megan, Boni's daughter Courtney, and Robyn's daughter Brooklyn. And to think there are still 13 other grandkids missing!

The mission: To get three babies to sit still and smile!

My mom sent all three girl babies matching shirts. So we thought it would be adorable to get a picture of the three girls dressed in their shirts for grandma.

It was a great thought. Did we get the ideal picture we were looking for? I'll let you decide how you think it went.
