Finding the Perfect Christmas Tree

It's our family tradition every year to find our Christmas tree and cut it down. It's something that we've always done, and the boys love finding the perfect tree. Of course, they wanted one taller than our ceilings, but I think we found a good compromise. 

We tried a new Christmas tree farm this year, and the boys loved riding on the hayride to go back to the trees!

here we go on our hunt!

YaYa and Pops and all the grands 

Our tree is in the house and the boys enjoyed putting their ornaments on it. Unfortunately, I've had multiple strands of lights go out at different times, so that part is still a work in progress ha.

November

the fan club at soccer this season!

so cute dressed for church a few weeks ago 

The boys had a blast playing soccer this year. We celebrated their season with a pizza party at church a few weeks ago. They were thrilled to get their trophies!

we had a visitor in our front yard! The boys loved watching this buck wander around. 

dressed up for Tie day at school

we had family pictures made and this is the one we used for our Christmas card. 

poor S has developed a fear of monsters (we have no idea where from), so Momma made him some monster spray. It seems to be working so far!

Thanksgiving was a big celebration! We had over 60 people gather at my grandparent's house to celebrate!

trying lots of new foods!

so so thankful for my boys!

our big group!

B loves Memaw and Pepaw. He loves to climb in their laps and read. I treasure these memories so much!

October Fun

We did a lot during the month of October! Pumpkin patch visits, carving pumpkins, and Halloween fun with family!

napping on the way to get the boys from school 

We made a trip to Cedar Hill Farms in Hernando to pick pumpkins, go through a corn maze, pet some animals, and play on their fun playground. The boys had so much fun! 

He was so proud of his pumpkin

cheese!

Pumpkin carving time! The boys were excited to carve their pumpkins, but not so excited to scoop out all the guts-ha. Momma and Daddy had to do most of the hard work.

S was most into digging out the seeds

the finished product!

they turned out great!

Halloween was fun! We dressed up and went to trunk or treat at church. The boys had a blast, of course.

Pumpkin Patch Visit

We made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch on Friday night. The boy shave been looking forward to it, and we can't wait to carve our pumpkins that they picked out! They picked out some good ones, and we had a great time!

he picked a good one!

I love these boys of mine!

Catch Up Post

 Here's a photo dump off my phone from the past few weeks!

Bridget and I got season tickets to the Orpheum and our first show was a few weeks ago. I love that we're able to have these dedicated girls nights!

We had a blast trying out a new restaurant and seeing The King and I!

sparring at karate a few weeks ago 

Oh, this boy...A few weeks ago I was letting the older two boys play in the bean bin while B took a nap, because he's the one who usually dumps all the beans out or eats them. S decided to stick beans up his nose, and he was so proud. However, he couldn't get one of them out, and neither could I, no matter what I did. So, I called the pediatrician, and we bought ourselves a trip to the ENT. We went the next day, and after an X-Ray and a nasal endoscopy, there was no bean to be found. I think he ended up swallowing it, which is great! No further interventions needed, and he handled everything like a champ! Never a dull moment with these boys...

selfies to keep this boy occupied during soccer practice last week 

We had waffles on Wednesday with Memaw! We love home made waffles, and I think B ate at least 3 of them. 

F has had multiple orthodontic appointments lately in preparation for having his crossbite corrected. We've had a lot ofo quality time together at the dentist. He's done very well with everything they've had to do and has even helped them out a few times.  

donuts before soccer last weekend

My Monday night scene. I had thrown S and B in the tub to get clean, and I left the door open and attempted to clean up the kitchen after dinner. I came back to a flood-water was everywhere! So, the floors got ripped up in the bathroom, and now we have a very nice concrete industrial look going on. Thankfully, we had already been talking about redoing the floors, so step one (demo) has already been completed!  

He loves picking out his prizes after having his dental work done.
