Oh how this makes me laugh! My children are going to have "santa" issues when they grow up:) Hope everyone is gearing up for the holidays. We love this time of year getting to spend time with all our family and of course, eating like crazy! 
We had another great year trick or treating. Our friends met us at our "vacation home" a.k.a our house that STILL has not sold, and went trick or treating in our neighborhood. Jackson was Darth Vader, Anderson was Captain Hook, Chandler Tinkerbell , I was Peter Pan and Patrick dressed at Luke Skywalker. It was a family affair this Halloween! We were blessed with perfect weather too. Sooo much fun! I can't wait until next year!!!
Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. Gotta give daddy props for dressing up.
Peter Pan and crew. Anderson told me about 50 times that Peter Pan was a boy. Apparently he wasn't digging my costume :)
Mommy and Tinkerbell. (this was the first and last time I wait to open a costume the day of Halloween...this was the most pitiful tinkerbell costume I've ever seen. She was cute anyway though :)
Our friend Paul was a ninja but kind of turned out a little taliban-ish, tee-hee! Love it!
Gina the beautiful butterfly and Scott the stinkbug. He is hilarious!!
Chandler and her buddy Emery
Chandler started off a little shy at first until she figured out what they were putting in her bucket. She was ALL for it after that!
Let the games begin....
The trick or treat posse
Tinkerbell in her forest
Oh these two little ones....they are going to give me and cynthia a run for our money. Two peas in a pod! Hilarious.
Daddies and their girls
Jackson had a great time celebrating his 5th birthday this year! We had his party at the Museum of Discovery with a science wizard theme. I was a little nervous how it would turn out but it was really fun. The kids did a couple experiments and got to touch a snake!! Big fun for our big boy:) 
Jackson picked out what kind of cake he wanted. Ms. Kathy did an awesome job!
Making some slime. Of course they all loved this:)
Mr. Rat Snake wishing Jackson a happy birthday, eeeeehhhhh!
Cake time!
Precious baby boy...didn't sleep much and cried a lot but I still loved him :)
Birthday #2!
Big 3 year old :)
4 years old!
He got a T-Rex dig site. So cool....
And of course, more science lab experiments. 
Two years ago today, my life was forever changed. A beautiful little girl came into this world and and stole my heart and many others.
It's amazing to see God's plan work out even when at first we are confused why things are happening. God's timing and plans are always perfect. 
Chandler's first birthday- cupcakes on kavanaugh, mmmmm
Her first birthday party!!
We celebrated Chandler's SECOND birthday party this weekend! How can that be!! She had a cheerleader/Razorback theme party at Larry's pizza (our second home). I wasn't so sure about this idea but it ended up great. The kids had a blast playing games and parents enjoyed pizza and football on the big screen. Chandler was a little overwhelmed at first but settled down once pizza and cake started getting served :) It was a wonderful day and we are so, so blessed to have shared it with such great friends and family! Thanks guys!
