Happy Halloween

Since election day is close why not lead off this blog with a little halloween humor. It was the first time Kyle and I got in the spirit to dress up.
Layney and Connor at their first house for Trick or Treat!!

They enjoyed giving out candy. They would throw it at the bags of the kids at the doors!!

Layney-- a spider with a cape..

We were at Jeannie and Roger's house since they have tons of trick or treaters. Connor liked going in and out of the "monkey cage"

Mommy and her cute little monkey

Checking out his monkey belly

Sitting with his pumpkins. He decorated the one on the right.

Connor and his Girls!!

One of Connor's and Papaw's favorite things to do while at the farm is feed the cows (or moo's). This photo is classic Bruce-wearing his orange jersey proudly even though at the time of this photo Georgia was beating us. So Papaw decided to return to the game...Connor looking at his moo's
Avery- being the Mississippi girl that she is- decides she wants to see the moo's too. She tells Connor that in Miss. there are alligators so she is not scared of the moo's....



However- Layney would not have her Connor talking to some little girl from Mississippi! No way was she gonna let her in on the action. So all three were up on the fence looking at the moo's.

If you are wondering..Connor and Layney are one day apart. Avery is about 6 weeks older...

Connor and his Girls!!!

Everyone checking out the moo's!!!

Horseshoe Bend Farm Fun Part 2

This photo pretty much captures the fun the kids hand in early October at the farm. It was a beautiful day

What would a halloween/fall party be without some time in the cemetary?

Not sure what Max was doing but it was cute.

Stickley Farm

We went to Stickley Farm with friends Andy, Dylan, and Layney. Connor checked out all the pumpkins before deciding on two.




He liked to see how well they would support him. That was one of his decision making processes.

Kyle and Justin with the kids on the hayride

Trying to get everyone to pose for a photo.

Working the John Deere- Just like Papaw. I didn't have the heart to tell him the wheels were broken!

Smith Family Visit

The Smith's made a visit in early October on their way to Amish country.
