Did someone say Christmas?

Christmas has come to our home a little earlier than usual this year. Last week, we got together for family night and put up our Christmas Tree. The boys had fun decorating it and I had fun redecorating after they went to bed that night:) While we were watching the boys decorate, we decided that we were raising a bunch of nerds:) Good thing we LOVE nerds here!

NERDO #1

Blakley had more fun playing with this Apple Juice bottle than watching the boys.

. . . now only if we had some gifts under that tree!

Halloween

I know I am probably the last person in the world to blog about Halloween, but better late then never right? I feel like I have had just so many things going on that my blog was the last on the list. Here is our Halloween in a nutshell!

Clint and I went to a Halloween Party at our friends house. I really wanted to dress up like Meredith and McDreamy
(Clint wanted no part of that),
so we ended up just being boring ol' doctors.
Thanks Brandi, Steve, Emily and Tim for the fun party.

Tanner was a SCARY ZOMBIE this year!
Troy was a STRONG POWER RANGER!
Carter was an AWESOME NINJA this year!

Blakley was a Darling FLOWER!
Tanner and Troy had a parade at their school.

Rachel, Brooks, Carter, and Troy
Troy was so excited to take Brooks and Carter around the lunch room with him.

Carter had a party at his preschool.
He also was the Star of the Week.
His class got to learn all about him.

Grandma Terra came over on Halloween right before the kiddos left to go Trick or Treating!

Clint and Scoob took the boys out Trick-or-Treating,
while Blakley and I passed out candy:)
It was a fun Halloween!

Troyism

Here is the conversation Troy and I had today:

Troy: "Mom, I don't ever want to leave our house."
Mom: "You don't want to go to school today?"
Troy: "Nooooo, I never want to move from our house."
Mom: "You don't have to sweetie"
Troy: "What happens if I get married?"
Mom: "When you get married you guys can live in our house and me and daddy can move out."
Troy: "Good thinkin mom"
Troy: (pondering for a minute) "Will you take the XBOX with you?"

So innocent :)

Troy: "Mom, my leg is falling asleep."
Mom: " Are you OK? Does it hurt?"
Troy: "Nope, it's just barely closing its eyes."

So cute :)
