Happy Halloween from Woody & Buzz!

The boys really enjoyed Halloween this year. Since Scott is away, Jasmine (Jackson's girlfriend Ryan), her parents Susan & Scott, Sharon & her daughter Karissa, Jen and her parents Libby & Steve all came over to go trick or treating with us.

Preston especially enjoyed walking up to people's doors and getting candy in his pail. At one house, a woman was passing out candy in a pumpkin pail similar to his. Preston put his pail down and tried to trade it for her full one!

The boys got a lot of candy this year. Thank goodness its almost all gone!



I thought this costume was hilarious!


Jackson carried his pail like a purse.



Not really sure what to make of Jackson's face!
 
Preston took a nap during part of trick or treating. 

He napped for quite awhile! Steve held him for a long time before passing him to Libby!
He loves his God-Grandparents.

Littlest trick or treator!

Susan's Scott scaring us!

October

Three days before Scott left, we took the boys and Jackson's girlfriend Ryan, to the pumpkin patch in Moriarty.  

Ryan did as she was told...

Preston didn't get to ride the cow train last year so he was extra-excited...So excited that he would NOT sit down, so he did not get to ride this year either.

I LOVE this picture!

Preston would not cooperate for pictures.
 
Again, Preston was just not having it with the pictures. Ryan is being such a good girl and smiling so pretty though!
 
The rule is: You can have whatever you can carry. Ryan did NOT want to carry her pumpkin, but she pushed through!

Jackson really liked this big pumpkin that he picked out (and carried) all by himself!

Preston followed the rules as well. He picked his pumpkin and carried it like his brother.



Taking a break from carrying pumpkins.

 
Preston LOVED the roasted corn.
  
That baby will eat anything.


Did I mention that he really liked the corn?



All of our pumpkins. And that is WITHOUT Ryan's! Rules are rules, right?

The Friday before, we celebrated my birthday with friends at the club since Scott left on the 26th. I turned 29 on the 27th! Eek! Here's to having the best year yet of my 20s. Since I'm sticking here, I'm thinking that won't be too hard to accomplish.

Susan - Ryan's mom - made this cake. I absolutely LOVED it!

It was yummy, too! I will be enlisting her for  help for the boys' future birthday cakes. Between Janet, my mom, me and her, I think we will be cake crazy!

Earlier in the month, we headed to Wichita Falls to have a Mills family dinner. I think everyone was there! The boys had a great time playing with their cousins and I had a great time playing with mine! And my sisters, of course!

My little big sis, April and my (18 year-old!!!) niece Tanna!

Cousins Chelsee & Amy!

Any time we visit Texas, it makes me really homesick. I miss my family and my friends!
