Halloween through Pre-Christmas

Halloween 2014:

        My jedi knight...

      And my Captain America...

Love that smirk! Waiting for Ethan to get out of Super Saturday @ WKU...

Building with blocks together...

Showing off his new hat from Uncle Shane...

Proud of his new Star Wars toy that he bought with birthday money...

Our puppy is now a giant! He's 9 months old in this pic!!

Landen and his Thanksgiving dinner at Mother's Day Out (yes, his name is spelled wrong on his headpiece)...

Making banana pudding for Thanksgiving dinner....

    Silly!

Supporting his favorite travel baseball team even in their off season (he chose this to wear to MDO)...

Ethan in his school Christmas play...

Wrapping up Travel Baseball & Ethan's 10th Birthday

This is Landen's photography while we were waiting to be seated at dinner one night...

We played our last travel baseball game of the season in October...

It was chilly!

Ethan turned TEN on 10/28...we're in double digits now!

     Pancakes in bed before school...

It was awards day at school on his birthday...and pajama day...

That night we celebrated with a little dinner...

And then we celebrated on the weekend with family and cake...

And THEN, we took a group of Ethan's friends to Nashville for a sleepover...

And some go-karts, laser tag, and arcade fun...

Overall, Ethan had a great time celebrating turning the big 1-0!

Fun Breaks from Regular School Days

        This cutie had an eye doctor      

       appointment on a school day 

       so we headed to Cheddar's for 

        lunch afterward.

     Landen had his first trip with MDO    

          to Bottomview Farms.

          (Exscuse my strange smile)

Destin 2014

We had a great trip to Destin with family at the beginning of October...

        We flew kites on the beach.

      Played baseball on the beach

        Ate at great restaurants 

              Took blurry selfies

      Played in the sand and in the water

    

               Built drippy castles 

     Looked at fish and crabs at the dock

                    Fed the fish

     Waited to greet the guys after a day of     

               deep sea fishing

         Played football on the beach

                Hid in the shade

               Built sand castles

     Snorkeled and found awesome sand      

                           dollars 

     Stayed up past bedtime playing board 

                         games 

We also played frisbee on the beach, hunted for crabs by flashlight at night and found several, and shopped at the outlet malls. It was such a fun, relaxing vacation!

      The boys rEaLLy enjoyed our stop at 

     Steak & Shake on the trip home.
