Happy Halloween!

Lions, Tigers, Crocodiles, & Dragons!

Here we are getting dressed for trick'r'treating downtown.

Here Kingston, let me fix that for you.

Arriving and letting out our first couple of ROARS!

(Kingston hated the hood).

We met up with Quintin before hitting up the town!

We saw our buddy Charlie too!

It was pretty funny, there was music playing from one of

the shops downtown (flickering lights too), Barker

waltzed right up and just started dancing! Soon several other kids did

too...Barker officially started his first dance party! Cross that off the bucket list!

(I think one of the other parents got a video - fingers crossed)!

Last stop was at Sheila and Eddie's house for our traditional

picture with a pumpkin-headed Eddie - 

he's so silly!

Play-date with our old neighbors

Barker and Ryder (almost exactly 1 year apart).

Big brother Nick in the background.

Barker and Brycen.

We really miss our nightly playtime!

Channeling our Halloween spirit!

Barker & Kingston were happy to be more involved in carving 

up the pumpkin this year!

They bellied up to the table and grabbed a tool.

 Once we got the top off and pulled out some "guts"

Kingston had fun squishing around the seeds (and tasting them of course)!

Barker, on the other hand, looked inside...poked around a little...

 ...and then gagged!

Guess he has his Daddy's stomach!

 Tada!

Thank you Auntie Marilyn for giving us this gem

that you grew in your garden!

We had so much fun carving it up and making memories.

We love and miss you!

Also this last weekend, Uncle B came and stayed the night with 

the boys so Daddy & Mommy could go to a Halloween

costume party.

Zombie Bride & Groom, complete with fake blood and

scars! We were pretty excited about how scary we turned out.

(Don't worry, we put the little ones to bed before getting into character).

Just 2 hot dudes

enjoying a nice cool beverage.

TagTeam

Takin' down Daddy any chance we get!

 Then lots of hugs and snuggles.

We LOVE our Daddy!

Posing for the camera

Kingston 14 months

Barker 34 months

I should have purchased a lotto ticket today, I can't believe how lucky I was

to get them both looking at the camera and not frowning!

Common goals

make for quiet and dry bath time.

Here let me just top you off here, yep, there ya go.

Then we just put a little over here, and stick this up here,

we got this Mommy, you can go now.

I see you baby...

...eyein' my tasty foodies. Let me be perfectly clear,

nobody better lay a finger on food that belongs to Kinger!

Funny dudes

Kingston tasting bark chips and rocks at the playground - 

he hasn't found one that he likes yet, but is determined

to try them all.

(It's funny because he knows he shouldn't be doing it,

even says "no, no, no" to himself (or to tell on himself), as he

inserts object after object into his pie-hole)!

Barker keepin' it cool in the tub! 

The long way home

We were out as soon as the car started...

But one of us had to stay up and keep the driver and co-pilot in line.

I drew the short straw.

(Thanks Uncle Adam for capturing the moment)!

A real 4-wheeler!

Uncle Matt took us for a ride on a REAL 4-wheeler this weekend

at Grandma & Grandpa's! It was SO cool.

Thank you Uncle Matt, we love you!

Play date

Quentin (2 weeks older than Barker - buddies from MHM daycare),

Audrey (5 - our new neighbor), and Barker. Loving our last few days of 

outside playtime.

Looking back

I found this video of the beginnings of Kingston becoming mobile.

He used to just spin around, then scoot around backwards!

So cute, I had to share. And, the boys are playing sweetly 

which is an added bonus!

Uh Oh!

His vocabulary is growing!

(When he feels like it)!

He's not quite walking...

but he sure can get around!

More down-right good times in Oklahoma

There were playgrounds with toys we've never seen!

We watched a Coug football game with Eason, all decked out, of course!

We went to a trampoline palace with a foam pit!

Where I befriended Miss Kaylee who showed me the ropes and wore me out!

Then there was the LONG flight home - where we all

turned into zombies and grouches. But it was SO worth it!

Thank you Bridget, Tim, Rebecca & Jared - 

we had a spectacular time and can't wait to do it all again!
