October Happenings

In between visitors and Halloween we stayed busy as usual!  Trevor's picture day at school!

Our sign project at Trevor's school paid off.  Mommy and the Principal of CPE went in front of the Planning Commission at City Hall and requested permanent signs to be installed and they agreed!  Now if people fail to comply with the traffic pattern they can be ticketed.  #winning

Ashley's favorite thing to do before speech is running up and down the hall, giggling the whole time! In her dance tutu because we come straight from dance!

Toby seeking more heat.

Ashley practicing her soccer skills.  She started taking Happy Feet while at school.  Turns out that Trevor's old coach on Legends (Coach Sarita) is Ashley's new coach.   Good thing we didn't burn any bridges when Trevor switched club teams!

Ashley busy working at school:

All ready for family pics!

Cheering on the Vikings!

Reading the Bible before Speech at Mercy.  Mercy is a Catholic hospital!!

Trevor getting his wish of eating at Slim Chickens on a day of Fall Break when he didn't have school but Ashley did.  Ashley's preschool follows Rogers school calendar, Trevor is in Bentonville schools.

Toby keeping warm!

Introducing Sophia to Krispy Kreme after CCD/Church class:

A skating birthday party for Trevor's buddies Beau and Brett:

Cheer!

Toby cuddling with the only toy he really plays with!

More cheer!  Learning to be a flyer!

Aye caramba!  But they love it so for now we do it and smile!  

Nana and Papa Steve Visit!!

We asked Nana and Papa Steve if they wanted to come down for Halloween and they said yes!!!  That way they could also celebrate the kids birthdays early since the Kelly hotel weekend in November isn't happening and we will be in AZ for Thanksgiving.  So how did Nana and Papa celebrate with the kids?  They gave them each special days with a meal and a budget for shopping!  For Ashley's she went to Walmart and ended up buying the Paw Patrol big boat thing bc she knows that Trevor has been wanting that.  (Seriously, how are our kids so kind like that?!?!)

Chuck E Cheese's for lunch, no surprise there!

For Trevor's special day they started at IHOP where he got a special breakfast:

Then they checked out Target:

But ended up at Walmart where he bought the Shopkins plane because he knew that he and Ashley would both like playing with it.  Heart melting....

Pretty sure the kids will never forget their special days with Nana and Papa!  And what a wonderful memory in addition to gifts and meals.  We for sure want to make this a tradition with our grandkids (not any time soon on that LOL!!!).  The rest of their trip was pretty busy with Halloween activities as you will see in future posts so it was good that Papa escaped the craziness with some time outside! Wouldn't be doing that in MN now!

Kids Fall School Pics

Trevor looking dapper in his 2nd Grade pic!

And Ashley looking way too old in her pre-k photos!

Shopkins Live!

We surprised the kids with tickets to Shopkins Live in Fayetteville!  They were so surprised!!!!  Had no idea!!!

We heard about it on the radio and were surprised there were still some seats available! 

While waiting for the show Mommy had more surprises!  She wrapped two Cutie Cars (all the rage right now) for each kid!  Trevor even got the one he had been wishing and wishing for!

Was a cute performance.  So glad we love making memories - big and small - with the kiddos!  Wonder what the next surprise will be?  We are getting pretty good at them these days!

McGarrah Farms

It was a beautiful Sunday so we headed out to McGarrah's Farm for some Fall fun!  Ended up seeing two of Trevor's soccer teammates and their families so that was fun!
