Happy Halloween 2010

Me & Woody hanging out!


My Sweet Jessie Cowgirl



{YES...she actually wore her RANGERS t-shirt under her costume, we had a jessie shirt and everything, ready to roll but she has much love for her TX Rangers...pink girly shirt that is}

My little chick-a-dees enjoyed trick or treating this
year around the grandparent's neighborhood!
We went to a little block party and
then struck out to find more treats
than tricks!!! 
Which was a success by the way.
Unfortunately for their poor teeth....right?!?!


This door played scary music and
Gracyn ran back to me, grabbed my leg and said,
"Mommy that's spooky! 
I'm sa.sa.sa.scared!!!"



Check out her scared face...



Ha, Ha, Ha


We all had a great time! 
Cade had a full bucket of loot to show and Gracyn made it the rest of the way around the block without having another
scare attack. 
I'd say Halloween was a success.

Now the real trick is making the rest of this
candy disappear...hmmmmm

Tuesday TRUEism

I'm reading a really great book
{again for about the 5th time...
seriously that is no lie}

I was struck by this quote as I was reading tonight...




 
"We seal our fate by the choices we make."








How true.

Swing Batter, Batter, Batter....S-W-I-N-G





Cade is having a fantastic t-ball season!

He loves his coach, his team, and getting out on the field to swing that bat.

I think his favorite thing to do {besides bat}
is to
 s-l-i-d-e
into base!

I attribute that fact to watching the RANGERS
every night!!!

Go CADE,
Go RANGERS!!!!

Fall Colors


Some of you noticed that I looked different
in the Pumpkin Patch photos.

Hmmmm...what was it....

Could you put your finger on it?



Well let me give you some hints...

fair skin, dark hair


really fair skin, dark hair


fair skin, dark hair


One of my favorite actresses Rachel McAdams
who also happens to have
gorgeous fair skin, light eyes and dark hair! 
She starred in one of my favorite book turned movie sensations
The Notebook!
{but that's a whole 'nother post}

Here lately, it seemed like everytime I flipped through a magazine I kept seeing the same hair color on girls who have similar skin tone and eye color as me!
So I took the hint and decided to try something new...





Thus far...
this brunette is having more fun

Pumpkin Patch 2010

So we opted out of going to the fair today...

to visit a local pumpkin patch instead!

Man, am I glad we did.

After hearing from friends who went today,
I think every kid from DALLAS COUNTY 
decided to visit the state fair of Texas!


It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for exploring the pumpkin fields...




Climbing to the top of a
G-I-G-A-N-T-I-C 
haystack...


Enjoying a snack in the shade...

Post snack Gracie :)





We went horse back riding!
Cade has riden a horse before, but
this was Gracyn's first time!

She did was a little "iffy" at first,
but once the cowgirl introduced her to
Rascal 
she was sold on the idea! 
I told her she looked just like a real cowgirl,
and Gracie replied,
"That's right mommy, that's why I'm gonna
be Jessie for Halloween!"
{jessie is from toy story 3}



We made special memories today,
I realized just how special when Cade
said his prayers tonight. 
 
"Dear God, 
Thank you for a super awesome day. 
It was the best! 
I love you Lord. 
In Jesus Name,
Amen"
