Happy Halloween!

 I have actually {pretty sure the whole years I have blogged} never done a Halloween post on the actual day but this year...with it being on a Monday was tough so we were in early this year. 

Dont get me wrong.....we still had a blast and had a ton of trick or treaters...it is just that they all went home early because it is the beginning of the week and we value sleep! ha!

We had the Messers and the Rays over for dinner and then I never saw either girl again until we closed up shop at 9!

Yeah, they both took off but us parents actually sat and talked and watched all the action so it was a great night! The weather was perfection! Not cold, no rain.............perfect!

Daddy actually did the makeup this time! I had so much going on and was helping Alexis too so Lily asked him and he pulled up some pictures and made it happen! Lily was impressed with it!

Getting dinner ready!

My coworker gave me this basket and it is perfection!

Always a tradition....green brains, and bloody eyeballs! Notice the candy eyeballs in it! Cassell goes......'OH MY, there are eyeballs in it!' ha!

Scarfing it down so they could take off for candy!

Cassell cracked me up...she LOVED my 'Zombie brains' that she kept calling it! :)

Getting her Halloween milkshake {Hocus Pocus drink} before heading over to SK's to get ready with everyone!

These three enjoying theirs too!

Of course Soccer had to wear his costume!

Lily helped set everything up outside!

The girl can play the part!

Hello zombie soccer player!

The three amigos...or Pooh, Piglet.............................. and zombie soccer girl! 

The crew!

SO fun!

Brandon has a new ride so the kids had soooo much fun going around on this for awhile!

I am not sure who is scarier! I think Caroline that's under there in black! Callie cracked me up...that is as close as she would get to both of them! 

Our table on display!

My crew... :)

Alexis' crew came up! We could hear them coming from a mile away.......... literally! :)

 The Princesses and the Fairy Godmother!

 My zombie soccer star and Cinderella! They had a great night and as always one of my favorites!

PAC-MAN!

 I couldnt love this more if I tried and I love my work family!

SO fun today and love how our homemade costumes turned out!

JSU is having a costume contest.............so we HOPE we will win!

Carving time!

 After Nannie's celebration...we headed to my house and carved pumpkins. 

Nannie ended up having us get her home because it was so late and so nasty outside so just us and Gran and Grey had fun!

Hard at work! Grey told Tyler exactly what he wanted on his pumpkin and to please do it for him! Ha!

Tyler got to work!

Grey liked to check on everyone's work!

And....decided helping out wasnt his thing!

He didnt care for the yucky stuff!

But he loved supervising Tyler and watching his pumpkin come together!

Right about this time after the picture....Grey goes... 'Tyler, did you know that you can eat pumpkin seeds?' to which Tyler responds... 'Yeah but then you will have a big pumpkin grow inside your belly!' 

Yeah.....you should have seen Grey's face when Tyler said that. Im pretty sure he will never eat a pumpkin seed his whole life! :)

Hard at work! Alexis pulled up what she wanted to do on her phone. Then Lily did my phone as Gran free handed hers!

The final products! Greysyn was soooo excited about his! Alexis and Lily loved theirs.......... and then there's Grans. ha!

We are ready for Halloween!

Nannie's birthday!

 We all made the trek to Pell City to celebrate Nannie today!

It was a rainy and cold day...but we enjoyed each other's company, yummy cake, laughs, singing her happy birthday, Nannie's alarm going off in the middle of the restaurant, horrible service and food....but a good time besides that!

We wont be back to the Cracker Barrell in Pell City. Ugh! :)

Celebrating the birthday girl!

The whole crew!

Happy birthday Nannie!

Love love love this picture!

These two...the cutest!

Ahh....he melts me!

Happy birthday!

Checking in on how close they are to my height!

 Its that time again! 6 months has come to find out what both girls just crack me up to see!

Now they both are alllll about..............how close I am to Momma..............or have I gotten taller than her! ha!

Well....Alexis is there.

Lily is coming REAL close!

Lily grew 2 and a half inches since April! I just cannot believe it! Out of all the years...........this has been the biggest growth spurt of all!

Alexis..............literally didnt grow any in 6 months. 

Yeah, we were alllll shocked but its that time in her life that she is stabling out..... soooo....she was just so confused! Ha!

How they both are so intense with this!

Waiting on her results!

Always must write your name above your height! :) This girl is right at 5 foot!

These two always crack me up with things they do with this! They take it soooo serious and just the way they are...hilarious! 

Not able to hold it in....with the wait of the results!

One grew a TON.......................and one didnt! Daddy was happy to point out...that I am only shrinking....so ya know, yeah..... ha!

These two! Cracks me up!

Pickle again!

 We had our last tournament for awhile today and it was another gorgeous afternoon!

We met Kat and Dave for lunch and enjoyed it with them. They are so fun and we really have enjoyed getting to know them more and becoming 'pickleball besties' :)

We decided to change things up so Kat and I partnered together and then Dave and Tyler did.

We actually had to play Dave and Tyler first round and I will have to say...we hung with them and they were shaking in their boots....but they came out with the win so Kat and I spent the rest of the afternoon cheering them on as they advanced in the tournament! They came in 4th out of 10 teams..... so not too shabby!

Everyone was impressed with Tyler and Dave. See...............all the other teams have been playing for years. Like 3 years or more. They have been playing since August....and can kick some tail!

Getting those points!

They were fun to watch!

Such a beautiful day!

The best of pickleball friends you ever did see!

Love them! Such a fun time with everyone!
