Another year, another costume

Well, another year of trick or treating is over (thank goodness) but the candy eating continues for the next month or two or three. We got enough candy to feed an army. Braden & Mom did go to the trunk or treat also but, as usual, no one gets pictures of the MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE! Can you tell that the teenager carved the "throw up" pumpkin? I think Heather wins for most creative costume! Go pregnant lady!

My Gma quilts! What does yours do???

Aren't I lucky?? My Grandma Turley is so talented! This one's a keeper!

Entertaining the Troops

This is how I entertain when I have two sweet newbies and two very sweet helpers! All is going well so far!

Two for One!

Sweet little Davin got 2 blankies from Gma Turley when he was born. One fancy quilted one and this one that is nice and cozy. We all want to use it!

Nanny's Blankie

Nanny made Davin a very warm and comfy blankie that all of us want to snag! Thanks Nanny!

Eagles 45 Special Forces 6

Dason's last regular season game ended great! Dason got to be one of the captains. He also got to carry the ball for the extra point and actually went 2 yards! Yeah Dason!!! As a special treat, Nanny came to watch!

At The Zoo!

Flashback Friday

To steal an idea from my super duper blogger friend Heather, here is a flashback Friday pic. Obviously you can tell that Brooklyn was tired of our "screaming" about a year ago. Her Aunt Tanette came over and saw this note and thought it was hilarious and had to take a picture of it. Nothing like a child to chastise!

I found my tongue guys!

Davin has finally discovered his tongue and is constantly trying to use it. He will lick pretty much anything close to his face.

Davin goes to the Doctor

I have to say it! Going to the Doctor is just pure torture. We get the kids all settled, they start playing and even smile at the doctor then we turn around and poke them in the leg to make them scream. Poor, unsuspecting baby! Good report though. Davin now weighs 13 lbs 11 oz and is 23 1/2 inches long. He is in the 90% for his weight. Way to go Davin! It could be attributed to the fact that he only has a poopy diaper once a week. We sure do get to smell the gas all week though! He could stink out any room!

The sweet love of siblings!

Davin is loved!

Bath of smiles

Davin loves his bath and he loves to smile. Put the two together and it is a grand occasion. I know the pictures are blurry but they show his smile so well I couldn't resist.

Queen Creek 36 Millenium 28

Braden had his last football game last night and it was a great way to end the season(Even if we had to drive over an hour and a half to the other side of town in rush hour traffic -yuck!). The Tigers started out with a bang by getting the first touch down early on in the game but we came back and scored on them and, as usual, missed the extra point. We need someone to move in that can kick because none of the boys on the team have had much luck. We are great on the 2 point conversions though so we always make up for it. We did rally in the end for a victory. Lots of cheering from the fans. Thank you Grandpa Gillespie & Rachel for being a great fan club! We'll have to find something else to keep you hanging around now that football is over:)

Not so camera shy

My absolutely gorgeous daughter loves taking pictures, mostly of herself. I am constantly finding new pictures of her on the camera. Of course, I didn't help things along when I talk her how to do her own blog so she needs lots of pictures. She, in turn, taught many of her friends how to blog and so they have all become "computer potatoes". I try to take it easy on her and call it "journaling for hours." She has become a much better blogger than I!

Eagles 13 Cardinals 12

In the most exciting game of the season, the Eagles pulled off a win to beat the Cardinals in a third overtime. I have never seen so much cheering and screaming. Dason went on to play the 5th "quarter" that still continues the tradition of an undefeated group of boys. Dason actually got to carry the ball in this game! Go Dason!

My cousin loves me

Cousin Courtnee loves to hold Davin. She is constantly wanting to smother him with kisses from her cute, chubby cheeks.

The sleep of a babe

Everyone likes to comment on how Davin always sleeps with his mouth open so here is a pic for everyone to enjoy.

Queen Creek 46 Coronado 0

Another one down for the Bulldogs. Braden got to center for quite a bit of the game. Good job Braden! Aunt Rachel is always the ever supportive fan. We sure have great family!

Brooklyn gets a haircut

Brooklyn got her hair cut by her Aunt Carolyn today. She also got her very first weave. It looks beautiful! Thanks Aunt Carolyn!

Mom's slurred speech

So my sweet little Dason loves to ding dong ditch but to be able to do so he has to leave a treat behind. We decided to start the Halloween goodie chain during one ding dong ditching session. Dason had just left the treat on their doorstep and was running to the car jumping in and yelling, "Go! Go!!!" What I meant to say was "I'll run over your foot if I do" and "Not until the door is shut" but what came out of my mouth was "I won't run over your foot until the door is shut!" The kids got a big kick out of that blunder.

Black Widow Scare!

While cleaning the garage, Dason and his friend London found a black widow that had two egg sacks. It was in the process of moving the eggs to a safer location because I had just rearranged it's living space. These pictures are after we sprayed it with bug killer. I wish I had taken a picture of it before because it was a beauty.

Friends Already!

We're going to be inseparable someday soon. Only a week apart, Davin & Jocelynn, our next door neighbor, are the same size.

Swimming during fall break

We decided to use a day of our fall break to swim at Nanny's house. We took Logan and Railynn along (our neighbors kids who I now babysit). We had a fun time even though the water was COLD! Mom didn't even attempt to get in!
