Happy (Almost!) Halloween!!!

We have had fun these last few days!  Landon is really into Halloween this year and Presley just looks super cute in the outfits!  : ) Thank you to Grandpa and Grandma D for Presley's cute outfit!


Darth Vader has been going EVERYWHERE lately!  He goes to MOPS, Kroger, Pumpkin Patches and basically anywhere where I will let him wear his costume!  He did correct me though if I called him "Landon" as he told me "I'm not Landon, Mommy; I'm Darth Vader."  (My bad, Mr. Vader!)

Darth is still not above doing a "silly face."  : )
Even Presley was all about Vader....
We also went to Landon's preschool to his Halloween Festival!  The kids got to dress up and Presley and I signed up to help with the games!


Here she is waiting for her brother in the "costume parade...."


Later, we tried to help the kids play games.  Presley was really into the games too--this wasn't exactly the game but it was what she wanted to do.....
When she found the candy, it was all over....

Meanwhile, Darth was hanging with his buddies at school.  He was excited when he saw his "sistah" and me (it was a surprise!)


On Thursday, Presley started out in a good mood!

Then she decided she didn't want to have any more pictures!

This picture was probably just cruel....

By Friday, she was much more able to cope with life....


Saturday started out with pancakes, of course!!!!

Then we went to the Pumpkin Patch!! (I  know, Presley is not dressed in Halloween attire in the following pics but I HAD to have some time to do laundry!!!!)










 In the evening, we went to a friend's house to carve pumpkins!!





This is Landon's "scary face."  : )

Presley with Emma!  Usually when she sees Emma, she is coming over to babysit!  So, she looks a little unsure here of why Emma is holding her! She kept a close eye on us!!!


On Sunday, we played a bit after church before we went to the Stockyards! 

Presley LOVES this car! It's a good thing...Landon never cared that much for it.  Of course, he is MUCH more interested in it now that Presley loves it!





Later, Landon and I met up with some friends at "Trunk or Treat" at Ms. Angie's church!  We had a great time but Presley and Daddy stayed home to nap!

Abby, Graelyn, Zada, Gwen, and Landon!

Mrs. Kathy was there too and Landon always is confused when he sees her outside of her house!  : ) Her dog was dressed as the "black sheep." (Her granddaughter, Abby was dressed as "Little Bo Peep!!!!"

Graelyn, Landon, and Abby take a brief candy hunting break to pose for a picture!



Zada, Gwen, and my favorite Stormtrooper take a snack break!

Good night...and Happy (almost) Halloween!!!!)

Here are a few recent videos!  This one is good because it shows how she really says " Bigh Bigh"....
We were able to stay for Landon's chapel on Thursday so we were fortunate to see a few of the songs!  Here is 1!!!
She was in a very chatty mood here!

Fall--Texas Style!

We have been having a fun, busy fall!  Here are just a few of the things we have been doing lately....

At the Pumpkin Patch, I got them looking in the same direction!  YAY!

Normally, my pictures end up looking like this with kids looking ANYWHERE but the camera....





Now, this could be cute except for the fact that he was supposed to be sitting down!
Finally, we got some pictures of kids looking at the camera...

...but this is Landon's super fake smile. 
This was Presley's 1st ride like this!

This horse had his work cut out for him!! 




Watching the pigs eat a pumpkin!


Presley has discovered a LOVE of all things chocolate!!!  Atta girl!!
We've enjoyed the cooler weather and have been playing at a lot of parks!
Landon & Tommy!



I LOVE this one of Tommy & Presley--too sweet! It almost looks like he just asked her out on a slide playdate! : )
We also went to a local farm!!!
It was not that cold this a.m. but Landon REALLY wanted to wear this coat!!!




Landon and his buddy R.J.!




Presley and Logan had fun playing!




Landon also had his last t-ball game!

His biggest cheerleader!






Presley trying to sneak away with Landon's drink!

His school also had a fall festival!

Landon and his buddy, Luke!!!



I asked daddy to get Presley dressed for the event.  When we got there, I realized that he had put her costume on backwards!  So yes, she's showing a little bit of skin....


HOW SWEET is her costume?!!!


We tried to get Presley to ride a pony but she FREAKED OUT!!! 


Here's a few from the Pumpkin Patch we went to today:

Right before we left, Landon decided that he wanted a mustache for some reason!








Presley was interested enough in the pumpkin (for about 2 seconds) to actually put her loveys down!



He wanted to bring a mustache to his buddy, David, also!

Landon and Reagan loved playing with the rocks!



Snack time!

Presley even did the hay maze!  The other kids were too fast and I never got pictures of them in the maze. : (




I love this video!  I love that Landon decided that he could "read" to his sister.  He is SOOO sweet to her!  Every morning when he is ready to get up, I hear him yell on the monitor, "Mommy!  I'm awake!  I want to play with my baby sister!!!"  The 2nd thing I love about this video is at the very end when I turn the camera on Presley and she automatically says "CHEE" (cheese!).  She's just over 1 and knows the drill!!!!



(This video is about Landon's new imaginary friend, Luke Skywalker!  He "showed up" at our house on Friday. He comes everywhere with us lately).
