Fall Fun



With Halloween coming up the kids have been so excited to wear their costumes. Caellum has asked to wear his every single day and has started calling himself batman. He loves it and We'll get pictures up soon of them in their costumes!!Also, I had Saturday off and was so excited to get to spend time with the family and so we went to the pumpkin patch, carved pumpkins, made dinner in a pumpkin and made homeade cream soda. It was supposed to be root beer but we couldn't find root beer extract anywhere so we improvised. It turned out so good and the kids loved it!



Javin recently lost his first tooth. YAY!!!! We were so glad because we didn't have to take him to the dentist. Anyway, here are some pictures of him without his tooth and putting it under his bed for the tooth fairy. Not to be outdone, Caellum had to pose for some pictures too.



Javin also got to play catcher again at his last game and was really excited. The weather has started to change and Cael has had a little cold so we left him home and Javin and I went to the game. We were freezing. Javin had on long johns under his uniform and still wore his coat, gloves and a hat. It was fun but cold I was so glad we didn't take Caellum and so was Javin because he didn't have to share his snack after the game. I wish I had had my camera all these pictures are from previous games!

Ryan recently got an award for being a wonderful linguist!! If only the army could give advance notice on things, I ended up being over 2 hours late for work. I'm glad they like me. And it's good that Ryan keeps earning these awards!! He was also linguist of the year a little while ago and has been soldier of the month twice. We're proud of him and his great linguistic acomplishments. Hopefully they'll help him get into the army green to gold so they'll pay for us to go back to school.

Javin's first field trip is today and they are going to a pumpkin patch and the library. I hope he has fun and he was really excited and hand picked all of his lunch items for today.

I can't believe how big javin is! to me, he'll always be the tiny kid in the sunglasses LOL. Sounds like you guys are having fun out there in GA, and I have to know, how did you make dinner in a pumpkin? that sounds fun!

So fun! I love Javin in his t-ball outfit...I'll have to congratulate him on Sunday for his tooth. I loved losing tooth as a kid--not because of the money (what was it, a quarter?) but because of the excitement of "growing up". Ah, the memories.

what cute pictures! It's nice that you can get your kids to pose for pictures, Addie just pulls weird faces. Ryan hadn't told me about any of his awards, that's exciting.
