Brenner loves the candy corns. He thought he was a candy corn vampire.
Cayden was so proud of his marshmellow that he wanted me to take a picture of it.



Hanging out and cooking smores before the laser show.

Aren't the three little piggies so cute.


Halloween at Stone Mountain

After our chores we went to Stone Mountain with Mitchell, Abby, and Lindsey. We had lots of fun, we went to the pumpkin patch, roasted marshmellow, and watched the laser show.The boys found a cool tree to climb.
They had lots of cool decorations. They had pumpkin people. Mia loved the mermaid one.


Surprise from Grams and Pa


On Saturday after our chores and before our trip to Stone Moutain we got a very cool Halloween package from Grams and Pa. It was a cute tin full of candy and popcorn. Thank you Grams and Pa!!



Saturday Morning chores

Brenner's favorite chore is sweeping the stairs. I am glad he likes doing that because I don't. Cayden likes to use the swifter and clean the hardwood floors. So, now I just need to get them to love to clean the toilets and fold my laundry and I will be set.


It is about time for the boys to earn there keep around here. I taught them how to clean windows, and they thought it was great fun.

Hanging out in our graveyard

The kids saw these pumpkins at the store and had to have them, so we got them to match- one big, one medium, and one small.
Grams, are you glad to see that your Grandkids names are no longer on the tombstones. Gentry hopes you can now sleep better at night. =)

It is time to stain our fence, it is turning a little bit gray, so we decided to just do it. We were shocked at how expensive stain is. We were also told that one maybe two five gallons of stain should do it. We are at the bottom of our second bucket and we are not even half way done. It is just like every project, it always cost a ton more than you think it will. Gent and I joked that we can just leave the back of the fence unstained since we never see it, and that might save a couple hundred. Ha, Ha. The boys were dying to help and when Mia saw the boys painting, she wanted to do her part. I let the boys do a couple of panels while gent wasn't watching, the perfectionist he is. I am surprised he is letting me paint. Cayden got bored and didn't like it when he got stain on his hands so he was done. Brenner on the other hand loved it and wanted to do more.

Circus

We went to the circus the Friday we got back from our trip to Utah. We got free tickets from my work. We had a great time even though we almost got nosebleeds from how high the seats were, we still had a great time. Brenner and Cayden loved the clowns and acrobats. Mia loved the elephants and the Hot Dog, Hot Dog, Hot Diggie Dogs. They all loved the treats that we got. We figured the tickets were free so we could buy the over priced treats.

Our last night in Utah


After pictures we went to hang with the Beckers. Both Gent and I love and crave the Bajio salad, so we stopped by and got us a Bajio salad and got the kids Mcdonalds. That is the best salad and it was as good as I remember. So good we had it twice, once on the way back from the cabin, and again with the Beckers. Gent had a carry on just for Catan, and we played it many times. Once with Tara, Darren and Pa at the cabin. Two late nights at Cort and Mandy's. I think we got Cort addicted. And we played with the Beckers our last night there. We had a great fun filled week thank you so much for everyone who made it so great. And a special thanks for grams and Pa for giving up your bed and putting up with our mess. We love you guys very much, and can't wait to visit again.







Grams did a great job on planning the activities. She almost forgot the jumphouse, so we made time for it on Saturday morning before the family pictures. Everyone came over for Breakfast and had time to jump. Again lots of yummy food (Grams keep us well fed, especially breakfast, she knows how we love breakfast).

Playing with the Cousins

Pa hung out in the shade reading a book and Mia came and hung out with him throughout the day. She likes hanging out with Pa.
Cayden and Austin had a great time together.





All the fun in the sun makes a kid hungry!! Snack time, then it back to digging in the sand.
This is what the kids did most of the day, played on the beach. They built sandcastles, blew bubbles with grams, and tried to catch the fish. Fun times.

Fun in the Sun!!

I thought Brenner would love the jet skis, but he was more interested in trying to catch the fish in the lake with his bare hands. Good luck with that Brenner. He finally towards the end of the day finally got on the jet skis and he did have fun on them.

Mia on the other had loved the jet skis and rode them as much as she could. She liked going fast too.









Where there is sand little Cay Cay is having fun. Mia loved the lobster float.
