Christmas program

Last Sunday the boys participated in the children's program at church. Trevon sang pretty well...especially sitting next to Brooke in first service. Deagan pretty much just sat there looking around but was cute nonetheless. Here are a few pics...

Baylor didn't sing but she dressed up for the occasion. :)

Santa's Little Helper

baylor gets 'loves' from everyone...

and even Reagan got in on the action...he loves 'baby'

and he thinks he doesn't need a nap...

Deagan has decided he doesn't need a nap most days. But sometimes he just can't fight it any longer.

these were 2 different days...he just wears the same clothes a lot. :)

Trick or treat...

Here are some pics of the kids in their costumes. We went trick-or-treating with the Billmeiers and then headed to the church for trunk-r-treat...

Riley is one!!

I can't believe my nephew, Riley, is 1. His birthday was yesterday but we celebrated it last saturday. He had an army/camo theme...

before the party

we had to borrow a headband from Hallie b/c Nick said Baylor looked like a boy :)

waiting for cake (look at those curls)

I've been tagged...

My friend Sara tagged me in her blog so I'm supposed to list 7 quirky things about myself. Here goes...

1) I have to put the toilet paper roll on with the paper coming over the top. If someone else does it the other way, I will correct it...but only at my house.

2) Nick makes fun of me b/c I get upset if fast food employees or servers are rude. Which basically means they have to be positively friendly or they will get my usual reply of, "well, they were pleasant!" (but not until they are out of earshot)

3) I cannot, under any circumstances, turn the vehicle off if the windshield wipers are not in their proper position.

4) I can turn my foot 180 degrees backwards while keeping my hips forward.

5) I hide from my kids when I'm eating something yummy and I don't want to share.

6) I love Coke classic but I'd rather have Pepsi if it's in a can or 2 liter...otherwise it's fountain cokes all the way!!

7) I can't sleep in socks. Even if it's freezing in the house. In fact, I usually have my feet sticking out of the blankets no matter what the temperature is.

Now I'm supposed to tag other friends with blogs. Here goes...

Beasley's hayride and pumpkin patch

Saturday, we took the kids (& gumma and Riley) to Beasley's to pick out some pumpkins. At first, we told the kids that they had to be able to carry their own pumpkin, but we didn't realize that the little pumpkins were on the other side of the pumpkin patch so we modified the rule...Nick had to be able to carry them. :) It was pretty funny watching Trevon run to the pumpkins and try to lift it up and then say, "nope, it's too heavy." and then run to the next one.

This next picture is blurry but it's a funny story...My mom and I were in the little store deciding which bag of apples to buy. I turn around to find both of the boys eating an apple. We still don't know where they got them but they were definitely enjoying them. I did offer to pay for them seperately but the lady said not to worry about it. She thought is was funny. So here they are enjoying their apples...the little thieves...

Here are a few pictures from our weekend getaway to Maine.

A star in the making...or not, but cute anyway

Our fun day in Muncie...

This past Sunday, we were able to visit our old church that we attended when we lived in Muncie...eat at our favorite mexican restaurant...and hang out with friends for a Colts party at the Hammer's. It was a long day for the kids who had no naps but they had a blast. Here are some highlights...

Deagan, Trevon, Baylor, Palmer D., Maddie P. & Waverley D.

Deagan finally crashed on daddy (good thing too b/c he was getting C*R*A*N*K*Y!)

Ryan (the host with the most) & Baylor

When we lived in Muncie, we could often be found at Chuck & Judy's (ryan's parents) house for Colts games. This time, Ryan & Kristen were the hosts and we all had a great time. Hopefully we're able to do it again soon...just to continue Nick's tradition of inviting himself over. :) Love you guys and it was great to see everyone!!
