thankful indeed

we had a great thanksgiving in austin!!!  so much fun as always :)  the kids spent the ENTIRE time with their cousins (my 1st cousin's kids)...they love love love them.  they also got to hang with both sets of grandparents...pretty much in hog heaven for 3 days.  the longhorns lost but that was a minor detail. SO very much to be thankful for!!  here is my attempt at a picture of all 3.  beckett was not on his A game :)












 it was hilarious to see emery in a smocked dress.  she is such a tomboy...







frozen screwdrivers for breakfast!








all he wanted was a turkey leg :)








 there were probably 50 different people that showed up at the house that day...good times!!!

school's out...for a week :)

school is out for thanksgiving!!!  sooo nice!  bebe volunteered @ emery and beckett's school for the feast in her famous pilgrim costume.  she has worn this every thanksgiving day as long as i can remember!!  the kids loved it...entire classes were taking pictures with her :)  

ellis, on the other hand, told bebe she would rather die than have her show up at fall creek elementary dressed like that...that's my girl :)


we went to the zoo with friends on tuesday...3 moms and NINE kids  (4 of them 2 years old!).  i have got to stop hanging out with other moms who are crazy enough to have three :)


we saw polar express in 3-d...really cute :)



happy boy before the big incident...


the big incident being that he fell into the lake.  like all the way.  needless to say it was hilarious (and totally his fault...although he tried to blame emery).  the part that wasn't funny was that in my rush to get over to him, i fell.  and i still have rocks stuck in my hands to prove it.  the only thing i learned from this experience is that next time i won't be hurrying over to him...he could almost touch bottom.  good to know :)  and no, we didn't leave and no, i didn't buy him a new shirt.  


here he is reflecting on his bad choices...with my jacket


no school also means sleeping in, no lunches to pack...pure bliss really.  emery chooses her outfits and mama doesn't care.   she actually wore this to a restaurant.  at the last minute she noticed brandon had on a hogs breath t-shirt (classy)...she RAN to beckett's room to find his and threw it on over this really special air jordan shirt.  i don't have a picture of the final outfit :(


we are on our way to austin as i type and this is what she is wearing...







those are her "monster eyes"...she is something else

halloween (a little late)

we had a super fun halloween :)  emery got to see the princess moo cow the night before @ CFA...thrilling.  beckett was terrified and left with brandon...poor guy is still not over his fear of mascots!!  he even stayed home from the fun fall festival in the neighborhood because he knew there would be mascots in attendance...

 halloween day @ school






halloween night= world war III.  ellis decided 5 minutes before leaving that she wanted to be what i was!!!  a monarch butterfly.  WHAT?!?  thankfully bebe bought 2 of every costume that marshalls had for sale so that the girls could match.  and thankfully ellis is super spoiled and was able to keep all 20 :)



not happy.  pls keep in mind that she chose this costume!



these little ones are emery's obsession...so cute



here is emery putting lipstick on one of the twins :)



 ellis won best strawberry shortcake pumpkin :) (obviously there was only one!)


we trick or treated from our friends house...like 30 kiddos...super fun!!!!


butterflies!

happy girls :)
till next year!
