Halloween 2014

Caleb had a class party and a full day of activities 

He and I went to IHOP for the free spooky pancakes.

This year, we were a WWE Wrestling Family.  

Caleb was Jack Swagger

Adam was Roman Reigns

They were both exhausted by the end of the night, but very happy with their loads of candy!

Caleb Turns 5!

This year for Caleb's 5th birthday party, we decided to do a Backwards Party.  We flip-flopped every party detail we could think of.  Caleb had some great friends come and they all had a blast doing our backwards obstacle course, our upside down pinata, and just playing together in general.  Some of the kids (and parents)  went all out and dressed completely backward/inside out.

We all wrote our name backwards on name tags.

Of course you start at the end and end at the start.

Pinata filled with stickers and pencils, not candy!  Surprise!

Upside Down Cake!  This was fun to make.

Breakfast food!  What?!!

Caleb's Farm Field Trip

I got to go with Caleb to a small farm near his school today.  They had a few animals and some great areas to play around.  It's fun to watch him interact with the other kids at this age.

Pony Trot

This well water is COLD!

What's October Without a Corn Maze?!

We planned a trip to the LSU corn maze, shaped like a tiger, to help celebrate Fall.  Adam ran through the whole thing while Uncle Mack tried to keep up.  Caleb, Teresa, and I found the hay mountain and tried to look for them.

Pumpkin Patch 2014

Every year we visit the pumpkin patch at Caleb's school for our very special pumpkins.  We also get some great pictures out of it.  This year,  Aunt Teresa and Uncle Mack got to come with us.

Boy Scouts

Now that we are hosting the Boy Scout meetings at our house every few weeks, we're getting creative in the entertainment department.  We've got to wear these kids out!  So,  to earn a badge, C designed a pretty cool obstacle course in our front yard.  The kids ran that course 100 times that night...the dads even tried it.

LSU Football Begins!

We traveled to Houston to cheer on LSU vs. Wisconsin in the season opener.  We got to visit with family and go to the game without kids...a treat!

Stuffing our face

Great seats!

Boys Trip to Monday Night RAW

They were so excited.  These boys love wrestling and this was C's first opportunity to watch it live.

Bogue Chitto...We love you!

Just before school started back, we took a quick weekend trip to one of our favorite parks near us, Bogue Chitto.  It has everything we look for in fun.  We spent most of the weekend in the water, but also made some great campfire food and rode bikes.  Great times.

 A caught about 40 minnows with a water bottle.  He took them home, hoping to raise them, but Joe, his minnow from a previous catch, seemed to like living alone.
