Fall Misc

Here are a few miscellaneous pics and events from our family this fall...

Paces 4 Pink

My sister and I ran in this 5K race in October. We both came in 1st in our age divisions, but Kim actually won first female overall!! She was amazing!

Hanging with Grandpa and Grandma

During their visit for Jason's ordination, Grandpa and Grandma treated our family to a Chick-fil-A meal... always a treat. Adley was especially thrilled with the ice cream for dessert.

Community Trick-or-Treat

On Halloween week, I took Adley to our community public works building for an indoor trick-or-treating event. Grammy joined us for the morning as well. It was a chilly morning, so it was very nice that this event was indoors. Adley went from door to door in this office building and collected a bucket FULL of candy. Most of the workers were standing outside their offices and were even dressed in costume. It was such a cute event. Adley liked posing as a fire fighter.

After the trick-or-treating, Grammy came with us to library storytime where we listened to Halloween books and made this Frankenstein.

Rock Climbing

One Saturday in October, Cody and Jaden had a double header soccer game to make up for a missed game earlier in the season. Between the games, we decided to visit a nearby library. A neighboring church just happened to have fall festival activities set up outdoors, so the boys tried out this free rock wall. It was a bit of a challenge to climb in cleats, but they did it!

Family Photo Shoot

In order to get some good photos for our Christmas card, we asked a photographer friend of ours to do a family photo shoot. Her pictures turned out amazing! We were so pleased with her work.

I'm pretty sure these are the faces the kids wanted to make all along!!

K'Nex Building

Over Thanksgiving break, I brought out this K'Nex set that my brother had given Jaden and Cody as a gift a while back. The set was a little too challenging for them when they first received it, but it was perfect for them now. They worked hard on this set and completed it in just a day and a half. They loved how the roller coaster was actually motorized and could run by itself. What a cool set!

Family Thanksgiving

My brother Andrew and his wife Sarah hosted a relaxing and delicious Thanksgiving dinner for our Texas clan. We didn't get any photos of our time together at their home, but Sarah did take this beautiful family photo before church that morning. We are so thankful for our family!
