Fall Frenzy

We've had plenty to keep us busy this fall, and there is still more to come. Here is life through the iPhone the last few weeks.... Ty turned 15 months and I plan to have another post on that. This little stink pot is not a baby anymore :( :(

Collin is losing all his teeth! I have to insert a funny Collin story here.  He has recently tried to rip off the Tooth Fairy by slipping his previously lost teeth under his pillow in hopes that she might not realize the teeth are old... 

We have been in pumpkin mode and I LOVE it! C had to decorate one for a contest at his school festival. B of course had to decorate one too. 

Waiting in car line for Collin before we have to jet off to gymnastics. iPad and a family size bag of Doritos. Why not?!

Then we have to high tail it back home to eat and change clothes for Tuesday soccer games. Whew!

Collin's finished pumpkin...

Collin's class took a trip to Fulmer's Farm. Very neat experience. 

We had a family gathering in Stateline with the Cragers recently. The highlight (besides dessert) was looking through old pictures. 

Sister had to get her 5 year boosters. And although this was a "before" picture and the mood was still upbeat, she did really really great! I was so proud that she handled it like a lady and I didn't have to resort to bribery not once :)

Possibly having a little too much fun with the Dollar Tree mustaches. 

Pumpkin carving at Lolly's!

Playing outside til dark in the crisp fall air...

I went with some ladies from church to a women's conference last weekend. It was wonderful!! And much needed. We came back emotionally cleansed and spiritually revived! And bearing a few autographed cd's too. 

Collin hopped in the car and flashed this even MORE toothless smile. I can't take it!!

Brantlee Turns 5

We have pretty much celebrated the entire week that Brantlee has turned 5.  She has loved EVERY minute of it. Her only disappointment is that she didn't wake up on her birthday and "look 5 years old." ;) ;) She certainly looks grown up enough for us... too grown up actually. She had several sweet friends and cousins come celebrate at her Lalaloopsy party. Here she is reluctantly posing for a picture.

She would MUCH rather be with her friends :)

More sweet friends...

Make a wish sweet B!

Pretty sure the brothers enjoyed the refreshments.

Turns out Nana & Poppa and MeeMaw did pull through with an AG doll. Julie is now an official part of our family! She has been to church & had lunch after and is enjoying her new pajamas and bed.  Between her and the Lalaloopsy dolls Lolly & Poppy gave her, B may not ever make it out of her room. It's good to be 5!

Birthday morning on her actual birthday. 

Cupcakes with her school friends.

Ty was the highlight I think. 

Speaking of school, Grandparent's Day was a couple of weeks ago at B and Fischer's school. They performed a sweet little program and then had some snacks.

Some very blessed kiddos!

We can't get over how much our B is growing up! Her personality is something I can't really put into words; she is truly one of a kind. So spunky, smart, sassy, and outgoing, but sweet and loving too. You NEVER know what is about to come out of that mouth. But you can bet it is genuine, at least :) I don't worry about her too much because I know she will take care of herself... and everyone else too if she needs to. We love you baby girl! And we are so very proud of you!!
