Halloween!!

Eli was really in to Halloween this year! He was the cutest football player I think I've ever seen. Big muscles thanks to... some egg crate stuffed into his jersey. We went trunk-er-treating at our church and he had a blast. He was amazed at the fact all he had to do was say trick-or-treat and people loaded him up with candy.

One of the men's small groups had a boat that the children could climb up on and go down into the cabin and then could slide down a slide at the end. All the guys were dressed as pirates which he thought was awesome! So creative!!

Eli and one of his buddies Emma!

This one is so funny! Love that look he is giving!

Some serious lolly eating going on here!

I love these two!

Yes....Julian and his friends dressed up too. He was Ron Weesley...Harry Potter's best friend! Pretty good I thought!

South Port Adventure!

Eli and our friend's Melissa and Penelope road our bikes onto the ferry and then to South Port for the day! It was not only a gorgeous day, but a ton of fun!

We brought along bread to feed the birds. I just fell in love with these pictures Melissa took. She is a fabulous photographer! I loved this picture with the birds and the sail boat in the back of us!

so fun!

Those of you who knew my Mom will see it...I am looking just like her here.

Eli thought this alligator was so cool.

We biked around South Port soaking up all the beautiful old southern houses and gorgeous trees We had to stop and capture this.

Here we are on the ferry heading home!

They were so cute on the way back! I thought this one of Eli was cute.

another great picture...of course you can tell Melissa had the camera!!!

again! adorable!

My favorite of the two of them from the day...

....we can't wait to go again!!

Jennifer & Reggie's Baby Girls

I had the chance to go visit Jennifer and the twins Monday. Here are a few pictures of

Jillian and Jenna who are now 6 weeks old. They are precious!

I may have this wrong...but I think this is little Miss Jillian. And she looks like she may be a little tipsy from Mama's milk!

Proud Mama!

Okay...I think this is Jenna. So sweet and peaceful sleeping.

Jillian on the left and Jenna on the right!

Doing some stretching and calisthenics.

Masey checking out these two new creatures living in her

house and keeping her up at all hours.

Jenna sticking her tongue out at me because I had bothered her

enough with the camera for one day.

October...

Eli, Puff, and I made a fort on the back deck and laid

in it and read tons of books!

So much fun!

Hanging out with Booth

Eli loves to go over to Paige's house and tend to

Paige's little baby dolls.

These two are so precious together!

Eli loves to help with chores. He drug his stool into the laundry room

so he could reach it. He is becoming very independent.

Stretching before Dad goes running...Eli gets really serious and loves to mimic him.

Went to Pinehurst to visit Cousin Carolyn, Kelly, Shannon, Ed, and Eddie. Here the boys after a delicious lunch. Hard to believe how BIG Jake looks here.

So adorable!

The whole gang together! It was so wonderful to

get to see everyone and spend the day together!

Little monkeys climbing the tree.

I loved this picture of Anna and Shannon.

Eli and Carolyn cuddling :o)
