Hallie got was able to be the "Terrific Tiger" at school a few weeks ago. It is a reward the students recieve for good behavior. Once a week the teacher chooses someone and they get their picture taken, they get to wear a special t-shirt and they get to eat lunch on the stage and with their parents and they receive a special treat. She loved it.

Our stake had a Fall Fest, it was a lot better than expected! They had blow ups, homemade rootbeer, carameled apples, donut eating contests, face painting, a chili cookoff, a cake walk, all kinds of stuff! I was way impressed, only Hallie and I went b/c Owen was sick. I was so sad he missed this.

Hallie Gagging and being a drama queen over the pumpkin..

Storytime!

Mimi Kept trapping Knox..I don't think he knew what to think.

Hallie drew this:

It's a witch, a ghost and frankenstein. I thought it was so cute.

This is a common occurrence, especially when cooking or cleaning. yay. for. me.;)

My Baby Boy and Date Night

This little guy is talking, waving, pointing, walking, climbing and schmoozing. He is a cutie! We love him!! He loves dogs and reading books. He follows his daddy everywhere. He loves to eat, and cry for that matter. He's a tough baby, but he is so fun when he's happy.

Awwww....Isn't he the cutest?? Look at those bottom teeth...we worked hard for those teeth ;)

Chad and I went on a date for the first time in FOREVER! We used to go at least once a month when we lived in Smyrna. I miss that!! We paid a babysitter for the first time in our marriage and went to dinner and a movie! It was a much needed night away! We had 2 free steak dinners to Outback and 2 free movie tickets, so that's how we justified paying a babyitter.

At first we were the only ones in the theater..then these 2 old ladies came in and ruined it for us :( I wanted to make out dangit j/k...no, but really. ;)

We saw Money Ball. Chad liked it for the baseball, I liked it for Brad Pitt. Cha. Cha. Cha.

Look at the cool Drink Machines they had!! Holy coolness! They had hundreds to choose from! You could click on the Coca-Cola button and like 10 different cokes would pop up, vanilla coke, cherry coke, diet coke, regular coke, pickle coke..or you could click on the Fruit Punch button and like 20 different flavors popped up. We ended up going with Creamcicle Orange Soda. I'm not a big soda fan but I could of stood there all day playing with this Drink machine!

When we got into the car to leave we realized we had a flat tire! So we drove to the nearest gas station to get some air. For the tires...

These next pictures (taken while Chad decided to put air into all of the tires, instead of just the one) are dedicated to my sister's Hannah and Leah and to my cousin, Portland.

I never understood why teenagers love doing this...now I know. It was so thrilling.

I got bored okay. Geez.

Pumpkin Patch and Temple

A few weekends ago, we were able to go up to TN for a short visit. My mom needed Chad to lay some flooring in her house, and Candi and Ray (Chad's sister) were getting sealed for all time and eternity in the Nashville Temple!! While visiting we went to the pumpkin patch, all the ones here are ridiculously priced! So I was way excited to be able to go to the one in Smyrna. I took my cute sisters, Hannah and Leah and met up with a friend and her two children (miss you guys!) Please Pardon all the pictures, I have to load them for my blog book! Or Enjoy!

And here are the Temple Pics!
