Parade Of Fiction

Today was Jack's annual Parade of Fiction at school. They don't dress up in Halloween costumes, but rather as a character in a story or book. The whole elementary school parades outside...it's super cute. This year Jack decided to keep it easy...thank goodness!! :) Since his class just finished their unit on sports figures, he decided to go as "Casey at the Bat." We threw on his old t-ball uniform and we were good to go!!


Me and my Bubby...is he not the cutest!!!

"Casey"

See I Told You!!!

For all of you out there that think "She's exaggerating...those twins aren't really as bad and destructive as she says!"...here's proof! Their room at nap time!!

Portraits Finally!!

A few weekends ago we had Mallory take photos of the kids out at a local farm. They are precious!!! I haven't had portraits taken in so long! I'm so excited to share but not until I get them sent out to everyone in the family. Don't want to spoil the surprise!

Shrimp Gumbo...Shrimp Pancakes...Shrimp Scampy...

At the end of September, Jack completed a "right of passage" and was invited to go along on his first shrimping trip with his Daddy and Grampy. John took both Jack and Molly to Mt. Pleasant to camp with Grammy and Grampy and while Molly had "Molly Day" with Grammy, Jack got to go with the boys to catch some shrimp. He loved it and had a great time but as you can see shrimping is hard work. He had to catch a few zzzz's :)


So tired!!


A stop at the Environmental Education Center started the trip!

Grammy & Grampy

The weekend of September 11th we had a fun visit with John's parents (AKA Grammy and Grampy) and Great Nana. It was a fun weekend of yummy food (Grammy made a whole turkey dinner), relaxing, visiting, and playing outside. Great Nana got to watch the kids play and enjoy the sunshine! It was a great visit!!

John and Dad playing a few rounds of corn hole. I think Dad is the only person who has come close to beating him so far!

He's Getting OLD!!!

On September 9th my sweet husband turned the big 3-5! WOW! Time is flying. We celebrated at home with the kids and several of our friends and neighbors.


I don't think the girls were really much help :)


We have been together since we were 16 and 17 years old!!


Big and small version of each other!
