Pumpkin Patch

We went to a fun pumpkin patch this morning with some friends. There was a petting zoo and a bouncy house. The kids had so much fun.

I love this picture. Poor Tyler never has any shoes on. I feel like such a bad mother but I never think of it until we get somewhere. Once he is walking I promise he will wear shoes :)

Pre-tend Pony Ride!

Heeee-Hawwww

Tyler thought he was sooo big!!

These bunnies were so precious. They were all cuddled up.

Hayley loved this bunny. She held him so good.

Hayley and Grace. Can't believe they are almost three!

Hayley and Allie playing.

He wanted so bad in that bouncy house with the big kids. Soon Tyler soon.

Tyler looks so little in this picture. He is so little but I just love that little baby boy!

Happy Halloween

Not sure why my kids have their blue steel faces on.

The beginning of Halloween

My kids LOVE Halloween!! So, by October 1st our house is decorated and we are getting pumpins and all the fun treats.

Peyton with his first jackolantern.

Hayley's kitty pumpkin (which she wanted a bow on so it could be a girl), Tyler's baby pumpkin (that Peyton picked out), and Peyton's pumpkin. We went to a great pumpkin patch in Dallas at the arboretum. It was called "Cinderalla's Pumpkin" and had all the princess castles. Hayley loved it! It will also be there for Christmas but obviously with Christmas decorations.

My Mom got us this Haunted House to decorate. We always do a gingerbread house at Christmas so I though this would be fun for Halloween. The kids have been asking to do it every day. We finally got a chance to do it today.

They loved it and ate sooo much candy!

The finished product. They did a great job!

Happy 1st Birthday Tyler!!

My baby boy is One! So, hard to believe this year has flown by!

Some of my friends and Tyler's little buddies.

Harper, Ryder, and Tyler

Tyler and one of his friends Izzy. She is so precious!

We had a great inside room because I thought it was going to be so hot but we didn't really need it. It looked like it was going to rain the whole time which worked out for us because we were the only ones at the pool. It was great!

Tyler's smash cake which he didn't really want anything to do with.

Birthday Cake

Peyton wore this same hat on his first birthday. :)

We couldn't get our lighter to work and Tyler was getting frustrated. But finally found some matches

We kept sticking his hand in the icing and forcing it in his mouth. He was not a fan.

Girls Forever

Aunt Lacy

Tyler LOVES his new puppy!

Florida

We went on an awesome trip to Destin with the McDonald side of the family. The beach was gorgeous and so much fun. The kids loved The Village which had rides, an amazing playscape, and tons of good food. Peyton went on a zip line which was so crazy, I still can't believe he did it.
The video is pretty dark but if you look close you can see him step off.

Andrew and Lacy's cool ride at the beach!

Daddy and Tyler taking a nap after a fun day at the beach.

Tyler thought it was so fun to hang from the umbrella. He is pretty strong and can hold his own weight.

Loving on their Aunt Kels

Gotta love those smiles :)

This is one of my favorite pictures!

Peyton's first fish

Tyler loved the sand. He was covered at the end of every trip to the beach.

Tyler's favorite toy in the house :)

We went to some yummy restaurants. This place was great because it had loud music we didnt have to worry about the kids being loud.

Tyler is getting so big!

Hayley and Daddy coloring.

Hayley fell asleep coloring and slept through the whole dinner.

Spending some quality time with Uncle Cade!

Hayley's favorite thing to do at the village was ride on the carousel.

Aunt Lacy and Tyler. I didn't get any pictures of it but Lacy was made to play princesses with Hayley the majority of the trip. She is such a great Aunt!!

We are so lucky to have such a great group of girls in the family. We always have so much fun!

Yummy ice scream from Aunt Lacy and Uncle Andrew!

Tyler finally passed out around 10:00. He does not sleep well on the go.

This was the coolest playscape.
The kids loved it.

Some quality dance time at the house! Hayley was so funny she would copy everything Kelsey did. At one point Kelsey had to sneeze and Hayley followed right along and immitated her sneeze as well.
