Last Day of October . . . Oh My!

We went for a Sunday drive recently in our area and took the first three pictures! 

  We had just had a lot of rain fall! 

The rivers were very full! 

Pumpkins! 

Aren't they cute?!!!! 

And how about this adorable cow?!!!! 

Happy 11th Birthday, Joe!

Our Joe!  You bring so much joy and fun to life! 

You are such a blessing to us all! 

We thank God so much for you! 

Happy 11th Birthday! 

Strawberry crepes for birthday breakfast! 

Chicken pot pie for birthday dinner! 

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting for his birthday cake! 

 A trip to the Reptile Zoo to celebrate his birthday! 

 This is what Joe's tortoise, Homer, will look like in about 44 years! :-)  

 It was a lovely day! 

After the Reptile Zoo, we walked around Lake Washington! 

It was beautiful! 

 And last but not least, a big bowl of clam chowder 

and a free birthday dessert of brownie a'la'mode at Red Lobster for dinner! 

Happy 21st Birthday, Victoria!

We recently kicked off our quadruplet birthday celebrations with Victoria's special meal day! 

She chose monkey bread and a 3-meat, egg, cheese and potato scramble! yum! 

For dinner, she chose our homemade chicken enchiladas and creamy enchilada sauce.

 After dinner, we had such a fun time sitting around a campfire and playing a fun game. 

Then, we enjoyed her choice of dessert . . . brownies with mint frosting! 

 Happy Birthday, a little early, Victoria! 

We love you!!! 

Pumpkin Patch!

That way to the pumpkin patch!!! 

 Our annual trek to Marris Farms! 

They have a little bit of everything for everyone! 

 

 Taylor was going to lasso his girl, but Kyle tried to sabotage his mission! 

 Ok, let's try that once more . . . . watchin' his back now!

 Looks like he got her! 

Well, he had her a long time ago, actually. 

 She's waited a long time to be reeled in! 

 A couple games of tug-o-war . . . .

Taylor, Kyle, and Timmy

 vs. all these people . . . 

 Then, this bunch . . . . 

 against these two . . . 

 And lastly . . .this . . . . 

 versus this . . . 

 We probably don't need to mention who one all three games! ;-) 

 In this digger competition, you had a plastic spoon attached to the scooper, and you had to get a golf ball on the spoon and take it over to another tire nearby,

 Kyle and Daddy did it! 

 Human foos ball! 

 Joe and Kyle competing to get around each other. . .
