Fall Happenings

What have we been up to the last couple weeks?  Lots!  We decorated our porch for fall and I love it!

Thanks so much to my hubby who helped me do this!  We also had our first weenie roast to celebrate Uncle Adam's birthday.

Livi and I went to Spoon River Drive with Nana and did some shopping too (where Livi got her cute ear warmer!).  Colson has been back into playing pirates a lot!  And baby likes to play along too :)

Last Friday we went to the Homecoming parade and carnival in town.  Alyvia and Cole had lots of fun...Miss Kendall would have preferred to stay home :(

Livi before school, spirit day!

Ready for the parade to begin!

Mmmmm, cotton candy at the carnival

facepainting!

I braved taking the kids to the football game that night by myself (Daddy is still working hard in the fields).  It was not the best idea :/  Alyvia had fun and hung out with her friends (I'm already not cool!).  But Colson and Kendall were tired and it was rather hard to keep them entertained.  Livi ended up staying with Aunt Kelly and I brought the little kids home.  Hopefully when they get older, we can all have fun times at the football games!

We've been having lots of fun this fall, but we miss our daddy!  We're excited for fall to be over and to have our daddy back home with us <3

The Carnival Came to Town!

Last weekend was Princeville's annual Heritage Days.  My kids love the carnival!  This was the 1st year that Colson really understood what it was, but he joined Alyvia full force for the fun!  Thursday evening was the first night.  Alyvia did a cheer camp on Tuesday and Wednesday with the highschool cheerleaders.  They performed a couple cheers and a dance Thursday evening.  Livi did a great job!

Our friends Kristin and Lizzie came up to watch Liv and have some fun too!  After Livi's performance, we headed to the rides!  The cars are Colson's favorite :)

 The girls did the "Super Slide"

Cole said he wanted to do the roller coaster with the big girls....after it was over he said "too fass, too fass", poor guy. 

This beautiful babe was just along for the ride and she was such a good girl.  We keep saying we hit the "baby jackpot" with her!

Kristin took all the kids on the Tilt-A-Whirl.....I would have been sick for days if I had to ride!

And then Aunt Kristin took them all on the Merry-Go-Round.  Again, sickly mommy can't handle the spinning...

We skipped the festivities on Friday, but went back up for the parade on Saturday afternoon.  We snagged more than our fair share of candy and rode some more rides.  Livi got her face painted, but Kendall wasn't really feeling the heat that day so I missed a pic :( 

 The kids already miss the carnival and are talking about "next year"....we better start saving now!
