October Fun!

October has been a lot of fun for us...so I'd like to share a little here with you!  I will try to narrow down my pictures, but I have to admit from the beginning that I may have a difficult time with that...so enjoy anyways - I know none of you are surprised with this confession!  :)  

We had a fun family outing to a pumpkin patch in Blue Mountain, MS...the kids loved all the activities and they didn't want to leave!  Here's a few pics of our energetic, independent, and kissable kiddos enjoying the day...

Eric went to a conference in Memphis, TN, with The Orchard staff, so instead of hanging out by ourselves for several days, we invited our dear friends from seminary to come stay with us - Naomi, Patrick (3), and Vivian (1 - Clara and Vivian share birthdays!) from Union Springs, AL (just 4 hours from us, I will say Naomi was one of the only friends and family who were excited we were moving to the south - it was closer to her!!).  Naomi and I did laugh a good number of times, somehow we thought this was going to be a girl weekend (which it was), but it was also with 4 children, 3 and under.  Needless to say, there was some meltdowns, temper tantrums, giggles, and lots of fun, too (the first two, unfortunately were more by my kiddos - I guess it's rough to have others come in on your toy territory!)  :)  We did get a sitter (thanks Carleigh!) one night and enjoyed a dinner out by ourselves - I was glad we thought of that!!  Anyways, I would do it again, and we just may...both our husbands are pastors and will have conferences from time to time, so we see it in our future again, and I'm sure as the children get older, it will become easier!  Here's a few pics from our time together...

Our April's fools babies - or not-so-babies

Stanley still loves his trains, and thank goodness,
Patrick enjoys trains, too!  I'm not sure any of Stanley's friends
still love trains as much as Stanley does!  They were proud of one of their
many train stations they set up!

The four munchkins

We have these boys in the same crib several years ago,
I need to find the old pic and put them beside each other!
They are growing up!!

Our little cheerleaders...Big Ten and SEC...
that's all I'll say for now...

I love this pic, I picture Patrick trash talkin' the buckeyes
here, I guess that's what we get for moving our Big Ten kids into
SEC territory...War Eagle VS Buckeyes!

Clara's face is hilarious here, if you zoom in
(which I'm not savvy enough to do), she may
be doing some trash talkin' here, too!

Too stinkin' cute...that's all I gotta say...2 families
joined with completely different loves in football teams!

It was such a beautiful weekend to share with

 them -- thanks for coming to visit O'Reilly's!!

Coming up, my visit to the Bluegrass!!  I think I'll start a new post!  
As always, thanks for stopping and being tolerant of all my pics which really reflects my indecisiveness on the bounties of pictures I take!!

As always, thanks for stopping, and come back soon, I'll have another post shortly!!

Love,
Kendra
