Happy Halloween!

"Firefigher Man" Carter

 

He LOVES his firefighter man costume! He is wearing it as I type. He has put out a fire in the kitchen and one in the bathroom. He told me to come get him if the police call and say they need his help with a fire! So adorable!

 

Isn't she precious! We had to dress-up the dalmatian...it looked a little too boyish. For all my friends that have never seen her without a bow...we just can't break tradition!

 

 

The horse ride was Carter's FAV at the Fall Festival last night!

We love dressing up around our house. Adam is the most into it! He loves to dress-up. One of these days I will have to post him as a 10 year-old Hulk Hogan. He wore his sister's yellow bikini bottom, white headband, and wristbands. Yep...that's all! I tried to get him to do that again this year!

The next president!!!

Introducing John McCain

 

And Sarah Palin

 

Being very professional

 

And a little frisky!

 

You have GOT to check out my brother's page (Waldrips). He and Ashley went as Rob & Big. It is hilarious! And one of their friends went as Borat. I've been laughing so hard!

Tickets for sale!

Well...the tickets are for sale! We will see if anyone bites the hook. Thanks for all the votes! Adam's happy again...he's going to sit with Wes. So all is well at our house! GO RED RAIDERS! Beat those Longhorns! I'll post my shopping spree finds if someone buys the tickets!

gag..gag..gag..puke

What a crazy experience...one I would like to forget! (But had to share.) Carter decided he needed to go to the bathroom today while we were outside playing baseball. He went over in the corner and pulled his pants down (Like most guys, he thinks going outside is lots of fun!). I was kind of watching him then all of the sudden I see poop coming out. How does that happen, standing up! I start saying "Carter, don't move, stay right there"...thinking he was about to step in it. I run inside to get some tissue, come back out and he has it all over his hands. I start gagging. I'm trying to clean him up and I am so grossed out plus the smell..I gag some more. So I cover my nose and mouth with my shirt. I strip him down as I'm holding my breath, look over, Raider is eating the poop. That's when I totally lost it! Yuck..yuck...yuck!
The moral of this story: Don't let a dog lick you in the face!
Now that everyone is bleached and showered, Carter gives me a hug and says you're the best mommy. I said yes...I am!

Does life get any better than this?!

 

 

 

 

This has been the BEST week! We are all feeling great...yippee! The best part is that some of our friends, Kris and Tina, who have been waiting for a baby for a couple of years got a beautiful baby girl! She is so precious and I just keep thinking about them and how God has anwsered a prayer that so many people have been praying for so long. How wonderful it is to see God at work! What a lucky little girl Miss Kate is!
My kiddos have filled me with so much joy this week! Watching them play and learn and just the simple things of everyday is so much fun. Carter is so witty and enjoyable to be around. He gets so excited about everything. Averi is so cute with her little prissy walk. She is becoming Little Miss Personality too. At the park they played, climbed, laughed. It was fun! I love watching them interact with each other.
May God bless you this week! And may you enjoy some of the simple things!
