The rain doesn't slow us down!!

We started Halloween early with Trunk or Treat Sunday evening at church.  Alec and Kaleigh were both excited to wear the costumes they picked out!  I guess my days of picking out costumes are over, as they were both certain on exactly what that wanted to wear this year!

Minnie Mouse and a Blue Ninja with a Light up Sword!

Truck or Treating with Best Friend, Brooke!

Trunk or Treating didn't last long for Kaleigh, she was ready to go back to the truck and help Pop T pass out candy!

Picnic Supper in the church parking lot

We had been planning a big Halloween night at home for a while with LOTS of friends and family so even though, it was a SUPER rainy Halloween, we all made the best of it!

Kaleigh and Addi enjoyed LOTS of candy!

This picture pretty much sums up our halloween, Alec with an ice pack after he'd gotten knocked on the head with a bat, Mia with both hands in her lap, as if she's innocent, and the rest of the happy girls!

Yep, we did indoor trick or treating and the kids FILLED their baskets!

Each kid trick or treated each adult until all the adults were left with NO candy!

Addi was smart and found a buggy to push her candy!

The SOAKING wet Trick or Treat folks!!  Even Kaleigh's mouse ears had flopped down by this point!

Silly wet girls eating the icing off of cupcakes!

Alec thought he'd try scaring the girls, but they weren't afraid!

South MS State Fair 2013

The weather is cooling off and the annual South MS State Fair was in Laurel at the Fairgrounds last week.  Poor Sister was an inch too short to ride ANYTHING, yet again!  This sweet girl let those workers know she was not happy about it!  Thank goodness, she loved the petting zoo and was happy to feed the animals while the boys rode the wild and crazy stuff!

Telling Daddy, "He will HURT you", after the crazy cow charged the fence!

Alec LOVED the rides this year, the faster the better for him!!

He even popped about 20 balloons and won a $20 purple giraffe, that I've since sewn back together several times!  He couldn't understand why we wouldn't fork out $20 for the "BIG" animals! ha!!

Everybody HAD to have their own funnel cakes!

Trying out Christmas gifts!

And no, neither child is getting either one of these for Christmas, although, Alec looks like a natural on this dirt bike! ;)

Family Beach Trip 2013

The last weekend in September, our family went to Gulf Shores for our annual BIG family trip! Here are just a few of the 5,654,235 picture that I took.  :)

Maybe my favorite picture I took, totally not planned, but the boys in the back ground is priceless!

Alec looks like he's giving will instructions!

Sis had a little trouble with her straps! ha!

Come on Kaleigh!

These two have grown up way too fast for mom!

Papa's bird kite was a hit!

Trucks in the sand never gets old!

My favorite aunt and uncle!

My and my babies!

Uncle Art and Aunt Sonya building!

The trike was SUPER fun!

Family Beach Pic!

FINALLY Kaleigh was tall enough to get a turn in the race car!  This is normally a yelling, screaming, I want to go time!  But she got her turn and LOVED it!

Turns out this goes MUCH faster with Dad pushing instead of paying!  Who  needs quarters anyhow!

My little thrill seeker!

Come on sis, I'll pull you down to the water on the boogie board!

Kaleigh LOVES the sand!

An animal rescue group brought this injured pelican to be released one afternoon right in front of the house were were staying in, it was so much fun to see it come out, stretch out its wings and take off!

We had LOTS of nature during this trip, this is a turtle's nest that was about to hatch, the turtle lady could hear the babies digging out with her stethoscope!  But, we missed the hatching, the came out two days after we left.

Alec, Dustin and Will showing off their crabs they caught on the beach!  They caught a bucket full!

Aunt Sissie let the kids help decorate cupcakes for our September birthdays that we celebrated while we were there.  You can imagine how that turned out!

And Mrs. Jeanette even let the kids help make her biscuits!

Three cousins and a movie!
