October Fun

Fall is finally here! And after the scortching heat we had this summer, I couldn't be happier!! It has been a long time since I have blogged, I know. I just can't seem to find a free moment. And if I do, I forget about blogging. :)

We have had a busy but good October. Uncle Cary and Sue stopped by for a quick visit this month and took us all out to dinner. We ate at La Hacienda Ranch in Frisco which is always sooo yummy! It is always so good to see Uncle Cary and Sue. We miss them a lot when they aren't around. Here is a sweet pic of the kids with them out side of La Ha.
Uncle Cary has already left for Nepal for another climb up Everest. We are praying for a safe trip. Can't wait to see Uncle Cary, Sue and Rob at Christmas!!!

What is Halloween without a jack-o-lantern?! I always think it is such a good idea to have the kids carve one, but it usually ends up not being what I imagine. Katie didn't want to touch the yucky stuff in the middle and both of the kids were arguing about who got to carve what. But the pictures, still look good, right?!?! Making memories! And it was cool that Nana was here to help.


Here is Kason showing off his stick pumpkin hands!

I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the finished product!! Don't know what I was thinking. Obviously, I wasn't... :)


The Saturday before Halloween we were invited to a friend's house for a family Halloween party. We had so much fun! The Eschbergers really went all out for the party - food, band, dance floor, ping pong, pool table and a bartender! What a fun party! Here is a pic of all of us at the party. GD and I went as Kason and Katie's mom and dad. :)

Halloween night was fun chaos as always! This is our first Halloween in our "new" house, so it was different than years before. But Halloween is not Halloween without the Brackeens!! We were so glad that Susanne and the kids could come over and trick or treat with us! Here is a pic of all the kids before we left to trick or treat.

You can see that Katie was not in the best of moods. She was not keen on having her picture made. Bless her heart, she was not feeling well. We found out 2 days after this that she had pneumonia!! But she was a trooper on Halloween night and nothing was gonna keep her from trick or treating as Princess Peach!


Kason, however was not shy about having his pic taken. Here is the cutest boxer ever!

Here is what Susanne refers to as "The Annual Butt Shot" picture. LOL! Have I mentioned how fun it was to trick or treat with Sus and the kids?? We sure do miss them as neighbors but are so thankful to have them as friends. Glad they aren't all that far away...

The boys were so cute. Kason was so sweet and watched out for Reid when they were crossing the street.

After we trick or treated, we went back to our house where Mom had been handing out candy. We helped hand out candy for a while longer. Here is Princess Peach waiting on trick or treaters to stop by.

What a fun night!


Happy Fall Ya'll!
