Happy Birthday Daddy

We celebrated Luke's birthday this week. The kids love to celebrate birthdays. Getting ready with balloons, gifts, cake, it's all fun for them. Mommy is excited as well for it means date night is coming soon. So, Wednesday night we sang happy birthday and were honored to have Franklin with us. It was Gracie's turn to take home Franklin this week. He also enjoyed the festivities. We stayed up talking Wed. about how we don't feel 33 and can't believe where life has taken us. It seems like we just got married yesterday. Time goes by so fast. We love having our family complete. While it's busy and crazy we love having 3 kids and wouldn't change it for anything. Our prayer is to enjoy each year with our babies. They grow up to fast. I may find myself exhausted at the end of the day but there is no better feeling than knowing Luke is home safely from work and my babies are tucked in sleeping peacefully. I know one day I'm going to miss this.

Turn it up!!!

We started our FALL activities last weekend with trunk or treat at church and our neighborhood fall festival. This past weekend my parents, Nana & PawPaw, came for a weekend full of Halloween fun. We cooked out with our good friends and neighbors the Pruitts. Then off for some trick or treating and the neighborhood hayride. I think the parents on our street enjoy Halloween as much as the kids. It was a blast for all!

Shark Attack!!!!

Gracie had a soccer game Saturday morning then we headed out to the Summit for some fall shopping. Gracie's team, the Kickers, are pretty good. We have tied one game and won three. Only 2 more to go and the season will be over. So, at the Summit we started at Gymboree then went to Pottery Barn Kids. Now my kids love Pottery Barn! It's one of their favorite stores. So it's not unusual for us to spend an hour playing. Even though we have the same toys at home. As soon as we walked in Cole spotted the Shark costume. Cole loves sharks. We have shark toys, books, shows(Kenny the Shark), etc. He put the costume on and didn't take it off. Cole is my sensitive kid. A very picky dresser. So for Cole to put this hot heavy costume on and run around the Summit (an outdoor mall) on a warm day is quit shocking. He was precious! We had cars stopping to look. He differently made people smile. I just had to post his pics since we don't know if he will actually wear it on Halloween. You never know what a 3 year old will do.
