Poor little guy

Madden has been cranky and running a low grade fever since Sunday. I attributed it to his bulging gums. Well, today he woke up covered in what looked like chickne pox! I paniced...I'm hosting Thanksgiving for 24 people some of which were coming in a matter or 3 hrs. I ran him into the dr...much to my relief it's not chicken pox (all though the nurse thought it was too). He does have strep throat (which caused the rash), an ear infection and his truly bulging gums. No wonder he's miserable. Let's hope the meds kick in and he's happy for cooking day tomorrow.

Family pics before church

We took some QUICK pics before church on Sunday. Not bad for an impromptu photo session with an ansy 1 yr old. Hopefully with some more editing we can use one...

I love....

The other night I was cuddling with my cute Coleman. I pulled him in for a big hug and said, "I love you Coleman." He gave me a quick kiss and said " I love...TRUCKS!"

Pumpkin patch and corn maze

We go to Ashely's Pumpkin Farm every year. We have so much fun there. The kids love the corn maze and petting zoo...except for Makayla who is jumping away from the goat in the pic below. We all love picking our carving pumpkins out of the field. It wouldn't be fall without our trip to Ashley's.

Halloween 2011

I can't believe another Halloween has come and gone. It went by so fast. We had a great time. Unfortunately, we're still eating our way thru an obscene amount of candy.

A fall hike

Here's some pics from a hike we went on last month. It was such a beautiful evening we decided to throw dinner (chicken tacos) in some tupperware, grab some grapes and water bottles and head to the park. What a great fall night.

Not quite right

The other day (okay week) we were practicing trick or treating with Coleman. We kept going over it, "hold out your bag and say Trick or Treat". We thought he had it until we asked,"Ok you're holding out your bag, what do you say?" He didn't miss a beat saying, "HO, HO, HO."
