CELE-TOBER...all the fun packed into one month!

I shall now refer to October as CELE-TOBER...as we have 2 birthdays, Halloween and soooo many fun things as fall falls into full force!!!!

I'm OBESSED with these 3 (well, 4)...so there are smiling pictures every chance I get!





Annual trip to Craven Farms with the Family...been going since 2013 for our 1st Pumpkin's 1st Halloween...I mean, it was his 2nd, but I wasn't about the leave the hospital the day he was born for the Pumpkin Adventure.




I love that these kids still love being kids...and let Leighton be a kid too!  I pray this lasts for many more years! However, we did miss carving a pumpkin this year...we didn't miss out on much else Halloween!


Leighton Jo TURNS 5....and what a celebration it was!!!

Let's get this party started!!!!























Turning 5 is a BIG deal...and a BUSY day meant extra special celebrating before school....




When you share your birthday with the teacher....

then get to go get a pedicure with mom....

then get to go to gymnastics....


then get to celebrate with grammy, papa, auntie and cousins

then get to wrap up the night at Awana...it's a BIG deal turning 5!!!



Birthday hugs from a friend!


Wednesdays are tough...errands with mom and napping on the run!

Most likely the last school Pumpkin Patch trip...and Grammy and I were in for some fun with Leighton!








Your first birthday in heaven...we miss you so much GG but are so grateful for all the years, smiles, laughs and love shared with you!



FUN RUN MADNESS...I have no words, but smiles and laughs for the pure joy these kids have being together!  I cherish their bonds with each other and their pride in their school!










Post Church brunch...a family favorite!

When your friend takes photos for church and snaps your family...:)
