Superbowl baby!!!


Here is another pumpkin patch we stopped at, super close to our house!

They loved the corn maze!



We also made a trip out into the woods - I mean Scheels:)
This was her "oh no, a bear" pose


I found this selfie on my phone:)
Bella's angel day was on a Friday this year, so we wrote on our balloons and sent them up to her - right before the kids' Halloween dance!  They don't always dress like that:)

I adore this picture of Brilee sending up her balloon to her baby sister

Off to their first "dance"
 
Brennar's football team ended in second place for the season, so they were seeded pretty well going into the playoffs - they won their first game so off they went into the superbowl! 



The younger siblings of the players - they usually are pretty darn good just sitting and watching!
So, the boys gave it all they got, and due to some pretty crappy - and I'm not saying that just because I am his mom - calls, they lost the superbowl game.
These kids really came out and played their little hearts out - lots of tears at the end, but my gosh, we were proud of them!!

Halloween

Halloween is always such a fun time of year!  So many pumpkin patches and dressing up - it is so busy but we love it!

The preschool did their annual trip to Anderson Farms and this year it fell on a BEAUTIFUL Monday, so daddy got to go too!

Bryden and his girls:)



Brexten and Cooper

He was so proud of the pumpkin he picked all by himself
Brexten's best little buddy at school, Mason - he unfortunately will be one year ahead in school soon
But there is a great bunch of kids there that they get to play with
Sadie and Kaleb will both be heading onto kindergarten next fall at the same school as Bryden, so hopefully they get in class together:)
Brexten adores his big brother


I also was able to help out at the fall party at preschool - Brexten dressed up at Antman
and Bryden was a stormtrooper


like I said, Bryden and his girls:)

For trick or treating we had Hulk, Captain America, a rainbow unicorn and Harry Potter
Grampa and Grama stopped by to check out the costumes

We went out with Clint's high school buddies again - it is crazy to see how big the group is getting!  2 more little boys were here too, just being held by their mamas
Brennar and his first friend, Eli

And one lonely picture of my big girl in the parade at school - they went by SO fast this is all I could get!

Ya Ya Apple Orchard

Now that Brexten can go with out naps a couple times a week, I really have been having fun taking them to do a few fun activities.  Most falls we take all of the kids to the apple orchard, but with our schedules it gets pretty dang hard to fit it all in.  So, I thought I would just take the little boys - they loved it

The watched the chickens for a good 10-15 minutes, not sure what the appeal was but they really enjoyed it
They have 2 horses there, they are huge - I wish this picture did  them justice!  But they are the sweetest things, just want love from all the kiddos

This year they had 2 donkeys too - they were so tiny and cute

Brexten could have pet it for hours I think! 



I think it is so funny how when I am with either of the little boys, THEY ask me to take pictures of them doing whatever - not sure if they just want to show Brennar and Brilee or what, but I love it!






I am really going to miss the special time with both boys when Bryden goes to kindergarten next year:(
But you can be sure I will be soaking up all these times until then!

It snowed!!

Every Monday morning this year Clint and I have been going out for breakfast, we've tried mostly new (to us) restaurants, it has been really fun!
Brexten and Bryden both got to have friends come over for a playdate after school one day, it was fun to see them with their own friends instead of Brennar and Brilee's friends
We invited Sadie and Cooper over with us that day too - they all had a blast together
My parents were able to come visit for the long weekend in October.  My mom and I went to a painting workshop - I made her make a sign for my house:)  Maybe next time she can make something for herself


The same weekend my parents came out, it snowed for the first time!  Not a lot, but enough for them to sled and build a quick snowman


This dog loves the snow - she could play and play if her paws didn't get so cold


Not too bad!
 
Brexten is OBSESSED with the Greatest Showman - he asks to watch it all the time - he puts on his hat and wand every single time - I think it's the best thing ever!
