This and That

October has gotten off to a wonderful start. The temperatures are cooling down and we've had little rain showers almost every day. I love to sit on the porch and watch it rain - it's just so relaxing!

We've also been enjoying AWANA this fall! Brody is in Sparks, Beckett is a Cubbie, Levi is in Puggles, I work in the nursery, and Brent works in Beckett's class. It is a crazy busy, but fun Wesnesday night! The boys are doing great learning their scripture, and I love that I'm learning scripture just by helping them!

Every time we leave the house, Levi insists on wearing his backpack. I just think he looks super cute. :)

My friend, Brooke, had her baby girl this week, and I finally got to go love on her on Thursday! There's nothing like snuggling a sweet days old baby!

Soccer has started back up for Brody man, and we are sure happy to be playing ball again!

Miss Arkansas' mom teaches with my mom, and she came Friday to speak and do her talent routine for the students. Levi and I decided to go, and I'm so glad we did. She was such a great speaker and a talented dancer! And Levi was SO teased around her! It was sweet :)

But he did finally give her a big hug!

Brent borrowed his dad's pole saw and trimmed lots of branches this weekend! It really opens our yard up...I can't wait to see it once we get it all cleaned up!

Helllooo October!

It is finally Fall - my very favorite time of the year! I love everything about the rest of the year...the leaves, the pumpkin patches, apple cider, Halloween costumes, hoodies, Thanksgiving, family, Christmas, wrapping presents...the list could go on and on!

And I am dreaming of getting a cabin in the Smokey Mountains again and taking the boys there for a few days. Isn't this view beautiful?!

Well, I may not get to vacay in the Smokies anytime soon, but a new little frozen yogurt shop just opened up here on the square. It was so much fun to visit yesterday! I had toasted marshmallow yogurt with pretzels on top - it screamed Fall :)

And even though it's still 80 degrees outside, I think Beckett man is as ready for cooler weather as I am. He's been wearing this hoodie for the last couple days. Isn't this the cutest little dragon you ever did see?!

Eden and Tara came over today to play - and I think these two put away 4 cobs of corn by themselves!

Can't wait to see what else this fall brings! Hopefully a request from Eastern for Lennox's file! :)

Goodbye September!

We have bid September farewell and welcomed October with open arms! We are stepping into my favorite time of the year!

Beckett got new cowboy boots and belt for his birthday, and this is how he wants to be dressed most of the time. He's a good lookin' cowboy!

I made these little picture puppets for Lennox last week. We will send them to

him this month - hopefully a fun new way for him to see and become familiar with our faces! :)

Levi is looking so cute in his new haircut! He loves going to the barber. :)

The boys had a lot of fun at the El Dorado homecoming parade! Cute little Wildcats!

This weekend, we went to Fayetteville with the Vinsons to watch the Hogs play! It was rainy and nasty and they didn't win, but it was still a blast! Fun weekend away!
