Halloween Fun

So let me start by saying, if I didn't have my hands full before I certainly do now!  Note that today is March 9, 2012 and I am just now posting our Halloween fun.  The babies I mean, toddlers are so busy these days!  I find myself swamped ALL the time.  As many of you know this cold/flu season has given us a run for our money!  We were sick for over a month straight!  I will talk more about that in later posts, let's just get to the fun stuff already!

For halloween this year, Aunt Becca made us Flinstones' and Rubbles' costumes.  We had an awesome time at the Heights Baptist Church  Fall Festival and had a Halloween Party at The Tew's.  The Ballew-Berries have decided candy should be an everyday treat...man are they wrong!  Jemma came trick-or-treating with us as well and let me say we received plenty of looks!

Before the Fall Festival-they don't really
seem to understand what's up just yet!

Carter was having NO part of giving up this ball he'd been given!

Pure Cuteness!

We couldn't get any of them to crawl thru, but it was a good try!

I think he was surprised to see the camera had followed!

The clouds make this picture look so dramatic!
I <3 these two!

You want me to what?

I guess this one wasn't as cool as the ball, he threw it in quick.

So that's how you make them pass out?!? It's a good thing we brought nighttime diapers and jammies, we didn't even get out of the lot!

This was at the Tew's Halloween Party!
Oh what fun...

Now that's a lot of kids, my hat's off to
Angela and Chris for being so brave to host the fun!

Owen's Pumpkin Patch, the trick is to go October 30th!

Need I say anything?

Such a goob!

Just comparing rides!

Aunt Becca made the girls' outfits, I just LOVE the tutus!

Going on a hayride, so much to see!

This is what I have to work with!

I mean come on stay still!

And we're done!

Tyler is going to love his one later!

Look at Carter's hand!  He's born a longhorn!

Great big spider

This is why October 30th was good, they said take as many as you can!

Bill Bates Pumpkin Patch

This year the Texas-OU game fell on a very busy weekend for the babies.  We had three events during the game.  I had to make a very big decision when my grandmother called and asked if Jeremy and I wanted tickets to the game.  I was very grateful for the opportunity to go but decided our busy family day of pumpkins and parties was more important this year (oh how priorities have changed)!  I did however let Jeremy have a guilt free trip to the game with his friend (mostly guilt free I suppose)!  

We had such an awesome time at the PAMOM trip to the pumpkin patch with Rebecca, Jemma, and Lolli-Pops!  As with all the other important dates we've had these past few months someone has to get sick...this time I had the pleasure :/ I went home and had my fever spike making me miss the rest of the fun festivities.  Lucky for me, Lolli was a trooper and took the kids to both birthday parties! 

Madison loves her animals!

Pops loves his John Deer!  

Picture Perfect

Pops and Madison

A family divided...good thing they LOVE each other!

16-17 month Pictures

We've had a very busy summer!  Finally we are all 3 mobile on two feet...most of the time!  The boys have decided that it was time to hit the road.  Now all they have to do is catch up to Madison...I'm sure they'll all be running before too long.  Now my only hope is that with all this new chasing maybe I'll be able to lose a little weight!  One can dream, right?

Peanut butter jelly time!?!

Mmmm mmmm good!

Another naptime treat...Carter sometimes gets lucky and gets up early

and ALWAYS loves the one on one time!
I put yogurt on his tray and let him go wild!

Such a sweet face...lol, she's getting this tantrum throwing thing down

SERIOUS!

ANGELIC!

COOL KID!

TROUBLE-MAKER!

SILLY BOY

DIVA! In Mommy's necklace 

Gentle Zoo

We found a cute petting zoo about 30 minutes from the house.  We met for a playdate with the Frias Twins, Key Triplets and Tew triplets.  We had a wonderful time looking and touching a few lucky animals.  They had a train ride, and bounce house and HUGE sand box.  I think Madison may have been in heaven as the only girl in this 10x10 sandbox!  She was for sure able to keep up with all the boys.  If you are near Forney and looking for something fun to do with your kids, please check out this awesome family run...Gentle Zoo!

A Multiplied size sandbox!

Getting behind the wheel early! 

Madison hanging with the boys!

About the best we could do and we are still missing 1!

Madison's favorite animal at the zoo, the dog of course!

This sheep was quite the character!
