Trip to the Pumpkin Patch
On the first weekend of October, my mom was babysitting my two nephews. She asked if Aaron & I would like to take our crew and join her at the pumpkin patch. We were all about it! It was about 90 degrees, but we still had a great little trip!
Here's some photos from our journey.
Until next time,
Much Love, Reba

Late Summer Photo Round Up
Here's a collection of quite the random assortment from September & early October.
One Saturday, we ran errands around town-- stopping at Bass Pro where all three kids thought they should ride in the cart together.
On this night, Avery wasn't feeling too great, so she played dress up in a "mommy and me" dress (notice that the baby doll matches her) and cuddled for a while and made silly faces.
We held Michael's birthday party at the church and he was blown away that we remembered that he said he wanted the bouncy house at his party. He was pretty impressed (as was I) that daddy and Grampa set it up inside in the AC!
Avery thought she was the coolest girl with her head band.
Aaron told her to "smile with her eyes" and this is what she instantly did. :)
This was a sweet expression from Michael-- cuddling a gift he received at his party.
Noah has the best smiles!
One afternoon, Noah was sent to the corner and Avery felt like she should join him.
She discovered her Easter ears and had to wear them!
She was playing with Noah's garbage truck, pretending it was the PAW Patrol mobile. If you look closely, you can see her three little PAW Patrol characters riding in the back of the truck. :)
One Sunday morning in September was such a nice temperature outside that we had to play in the sandbox before church!
They were being so nice to each other and helping each other out while playing this game.
One Tuesday evening, Aaron and I decided we needed to get out of the house, so we took the kiddos to a local ice cream place that has a grassy area out in the back for kids to run off energy.
That same night, it worked out for us to surprise some family friends at Cracker Barrel. A couple from the second church my dad pastored were in town and they usually try to meet up with my parents for dinner. My mom told me they'd be coming, and we were able to beat them to Cracker Barrel and surprise them with a quick visit outside while waiting on my mom and dad to arrive. We didn't stay for dinner because of my kiddos' bedtimes, but it was so nice to see them and spend a few minutes catching up!
She is showing off her Marshall toy.
This was right before she told me we could go inside "in a bit."
The boys sometimes like to take our board games and play imaginary games with the pieces and as long as they don't leave the table while playing their games, I'm all about it. This time, they were using the pieces of "Carcasonne" to make-believe their own towns and villages.
This was a fantastic sunrise one Saturday morning before our Upwards game began.
When I got home from the Upwards game that Saturday, this is how I found Little Miss.
My mom offered to watch the boys at her house so that Aaron and I could grocery shop on our own. Avery was having the time of her life while driving the cart solo and eating a cookie from the bakery.
Avery is not one for hair accessories, but brought me this hair bow one morning this past week. She kept it in for about 40 minutes. I was so impressed!
Thursday and Friday, Aaron was off of work. When I got home on Thursday, I found him and all three kids playing "car race" in the driveway. So sweet!
They're waving to the passing school bus.
Yesterday, we took the kiddos to Krispy Kreme since Michael earned a free donut by meeting some academic goals he had set at school. Krispy Kreme had their Halloween flavors, so of course all three picked something from that special menu. Avery and Noah were eating "Slimon" and Michael had "Hypno-Henry."
After the donut visit, we ran some errands in town, then took the kids to Costco to wander around and get a cheap lunch. Michael pointed out this gigantic stuffed Mickey, so of course Avery had to hug it.
"Cheese!"
This morning, Noah pretended to be the principal and called Avery "to the front office, please." Here they are in their little meeting.
Noah is a good self-entertainer and played for nearly an hour pushing his garbage truck back and forth across the living room floor.
Every time he made it across the floor, he'd strum an air guitar and sing "he won the race!"
Until Next Time,
Much love, Reba

We are certainly having busy, but sweet times lately.

Caitlin's Trip
In the middle of September, one of my best friends came down to visit us all the way from New Jersey! Caitlin and I went to Auburn together and she's wanted to bring her husband to an Auburn game for quite a while now and show him that football in the South is entirely different than what's up North.
Caitlin and Vincent flew in on a Thursday evening and arrived to our house a little after 8:00pm. I had to work the next day, but they took a day trip to Auburn so she could show him around where we lived and let him walk around campus before the big crowds on game day.
On Saturday, I coached my cheerleaders at Upwards and Noah played his game of flag football. Then I took all three kiddos to my mother-in-law's house and Aaron and I got ready to go with Caitlin and Vincent to the game! Vincent paid for our tickets, which was so nice! We had awesome seats-- we purposely chose nosebleed seats so we could see the entire field.
The weather cooled off after kick-off and it was quite breezy where we ended up sitting. It was a fantastic game. Auburn won and Caitlin and I had such fun goofing off in the stands and reliving old memories of the fun times we had while attending Auburn. We told lots of stories about ourselves and our other bestie, Ashley, and laughed so much it hurt.
We grabbed McDonalds at 11pm and scarfed it down in my kitchen since we were all starving. The next day, Caitlin and Vincent joined us for church and then they had lunch out while I took my kiddos home for a nap. They're both so awesome with kids and played "wacky Jenga" with my kids on Sunday night.
On Friday and Sunday nights after my kids went to bed, we stayed up late playing card games. It was so nice to get some adult time!
They had to leave on Monday morning shortly after I left to go to school.
It was a short, but fun visit and Aaron is excited to return the visit to them in New Jersey hopefully this upcoming year!
Until Next Time,
Much love, Reba
