Family photo as we started to Trunk or Treat
Grayson knew that all he had to say was "trick or treat" to get candy.
Too bad it doesn't work that easy at home!

Trick or treating to the the Roberts

My boys... sure do love 'em!

Family Pictures Downtown

Yesterday we had a photo shoot downtown with our friends

the Roberts & Deerys. We had a fun time and got some great

pictures by the US Capitol Building.

Up in the tree

Also wanted to climb this tree...

but only because there was a squirrel in it!

Playing in the grass

Being silly

Liam, Hallee & Grayson

Covered in leaves!

After the kids were done with pictures & leaves we had some great burgers at the Good Stuff Eatery and an awesome pumpkin shake!

Fall Festival

We are loving Fall here in Maryland!

It's quite a change from Arizona, but we have been

enjoying the change of colors and cooler weather.

This last weekend we went to the Butler's Orchard

Fall Festival in Germantown. We had such an enjoyable time...We went on a hay ride together.

Grayson was so excited!

In the middle of the ride we were dropped
off at a pumpkin patch to search for pumpkins.
Grayson was looking for a "baby pumpkin"

Luckily he found one!

Grayson & I

Grayson also had fun riding with his friend Hallee.

He adores her if you couldn't tell...

Playing with shovels and trucks in corn

Tractor riding with Daddy

Looking at chickens

and pigs!

Dad took Grayson down the slides

They had a blast!

Strider even let Grayson go down by himself

in a gunny sack! He went SO fast and wasn"t scared a bit.

We enjoy the time we can spend together on the weekends.

Strider has been studying hard and is halfway done with his first semester of Med School. Hooray!

Airplane Park

Yesterday Grayson & I went to DC and had a picnic with friends

at a fun park area near the Reagan Airport.

It was a gorgeous day and the kids loved

watching the airplanes take off!

Columbus Day BBQ

Monday we had a fun friends BBQ at Rock Creek Park

with other MS-1 couples: the Roberts, Dennis' and Sorensens.

We had some good food, played games and

enjoyed the boys' day off from school!

Grayson enjoyed "Hallee-boo!" He loves giving her kisses!

He was a mess and a thief that night...

Big Day

Saturday was my nephew Nathan's baptism.

We are so proud of him and his decision.

Here are a few pictures of Grayson and Nathan...

Jared jumped in for this one...
Congrats Nathan. We love you!
