Aunt Jenn

Aunt Jenn always brings out the wild and crazy in the kids. She captured this moment and called it "Monkey See, Monkey Do." We always love when she visits!

Mischievous

Susie always keeps us on our toes. We have a gate to block off the kitchen, because she climbs on everything and there are so many dangers in the kitchen. Well, the other day someone left the gate open, and she snuck in there and climbed up to find a doughnut. When I came out of my room, she was in the hall, shoving it in her mouth as quickly as she could. Then she smiled at me with a huge, sneaky grin. We're in so much trouble!

Hiking - Hanging Rock

We celebrated Veteran's Day by spending some family time at Hanging Rock. It was a perfect day for hiking. Emmett was a hiking machine - we did a few miles! He even had to carry his backpack because Daddy and Mommy had backpacks! The thing I thought was really cute is that he had to bring his dog along because the dogs came with us too. So sweet! And there's nothing like trail snacks while admiring the view. So much fun!

Walnut Cove Festival

Cam was busy on this Saturday, so I took the kids to the Walnut Cove "Back in the Day" Festival. It was SO much fun. They had wordworking stations set up where kids could make a free light saber. FREE. When does that happen anymore? There was no line! Emmett loved it.

They also had booths about sheep shearing, spinning, apple press (SO yummy!), quilting, old-fashioned games, etc. I got to see a former student which is always fun. Susie also got a free rag doll. It really was the funnest little festival. I'm so glad we went.

Wink Wink

Someone learned how to wink, and it's adorable!

Halloween

On Halloween we always stop by and trick-or-treat at Maw Maw's house. This picture turned out adorable I think!

Then, we decided to stop by downtown Kernersville to let the kids wander for a bit. It was really crowded and we didn't feel like waiting in line for candy, but we did see a few fun things. The fire department had the fire truck out, which always makes E happy. We also ran across another Man in the Yellow Hat! And if you ask E, his favorite part was the big, big, big tall man.

Trunk or Treat

The kids really had a blast at the church Truck or Treat. Our favorite moment is when a friend walked up with their little Chihuahua - dressed as a spider. Emmett jumped about a foot in the air! After a while, Susie got tired of her hood and decided to be Little Red Hood Yellow Hat.

Pumpkin Carving

What better way is there to spend a Saturday morning than with friends? Love getting together with these guys!

Fall Leaves

We came home from work and Cam had started a great leaf pile, so we took the chance to jump in some leaves.

I love this picture - E got a piece of leaf in his mouth and Susie cracked up.

Maw Maw and Aunt Linda

Aunt Linda came to visit Maw Maw, and we stopped to visit. I didn't get a single picture of Linda, but I got these sweet pictures. Maw Maw gave Susie a little teeny purse with some Mardi Gras coins in it. Guess who got jealous and had to have some too?

Pumpkin Patch and Festival

We had a fun Saturday. We started out at the pumpkin patch. Susie loved trying to pick up the pumpkins. E was more concerned with hiding in the bales of hay. Then we headed to the Walkertown Fall Festival. They always have a free bounce house, and the kids loved it. The pictures are blurry, but you can see the smiles!

Mommy's Day Off

I got to stay home today. I love playing with the kids and watching them interact with each other. They snuck into my closet with flashlights, and their little giggles made my day.

Susie Q

This girl makes me laugh every single day. I love that she sucks her thumb (I know I won't love it when we try to get her to stop). She can be such a cheese, and she's always happy.

Family Dinner

We had a great dinnner at my cousin Ryan's house to celebrate October birthdays. The kids loved having a new house to explore. They were cracking each other up when they were playing on both sides of the door to her deck.
