Pumpkin carving, pumpkin patch photo shoot and Baylor Homecoming

I haven't posted these sweet pictures of Ryan carving a pumpkin with the girls. They are so crazy about him, and he is the BEST daddy! Here are a few cutes ones...



We went to the pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago with Scarlett, Bowden and Pierce. We tried really hard to get a cute one of all four of them. This was our best result. I figure that two out of four kids looking and smiling at the camera isn't that bad!

Anna Kate is thoroughly enjoying herself!

I had to post this b/c it is a rare picture of Taylor actually smiling!

The girls and I went to Baylor Homecoming with Mom & Dad again this year. It is so much work to take both of them to the parade and the game, but I love doing it. The girls looked so cute in their Baylor cheerleading uniforms!



One last sweet and funny story... Taylor has learned to say the Lord's Prayer at school. It is the most wonderful thing to hear her sweet voice recite the entire prayer! I hope that she continues to memorize scripture as she grows up. But, the cutest part is at the end. She says "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, adn the glory, forever. Amen. Here's your snack!" It is very obvious that her teachers have them recite the prayer before they give them their morning snack. Too funny!

Halloween, back in the house, etc

Okay, sorry it's been so long since I updated this thing. I guess I should decide if I'm going to officially be a blogger or not. Here's one more try...

We are back in the house. Here's a before and after shot of the kitchen...

BEFORE


AFTER


We had a fun day on Friday. I got the girls dressed up in their cowgirl outfits, and we went to Voinov's house for lunch in costumes. It was so good to see everyone. I must say that my friends have REALLY cute kids. They were precious. I didn't take pictures of the whole group, but someone did and I will post it when I get a copy.


Yee haw!


















In other news, my best friend, Ame, is pregnant with a baby girl! I couldn't be happier for her! Here is a picture from our dessert date when she told me the good news!








This was too funny not to post. My best friend Courtney brought her son Tanner over for lunch a few weeks ago. Tanner and Anna Kate are in the same class at "school" which is really fun for us. The babies shared an oreo after lunch. It's amazing what a mess these kids can make with any food!













I am only posting one picture from our wonderful trip to the Amalfi Coast. We had the BEST time! Thank you so much, Mom & Dad! We are so grateful!
