Cornbelly's 2016

It's Cornbelly's time again!
Yah...I always love this time of year so much and my kids absolutely love going to Cornbelly's.
How tall are you??
Jumping pillows are always the hit of the day.
*Logan and Jax*
Sorry for all the slide pics but I just love all their faces so much and their excitement as they come down.  So cute.
Off to the duck races...
Rio, Logan, Reese and Lucas
Austin and Avery
Traditions...burying the girls in the corn.  I love it!
Jett and Logan
*Melissa met up with Roxy and I and Logan was so glad*
Get ready for the maze kids!
Reese and Rio loving their cow train ride.
Roxy, Logan and I on the train too.
Melissa and Jett
Austin and Lucas
Rio and Jax
In the thick of the maze and loving every moment.
Let's see how strong you are kiddos!
Entering the dark tunnel...let's see if we can make it...
Well, we tried but some of the kiddos got a bit nervous so we just came out this creatures side rather than the end but hey..we gave it a shot!
Oh, cute little minions...love them!
How creative is this set up?  Isn't that darling?  Loved it - my kids love Despicable Me so we all loved it!
We left little Blake at home this time so the "big" kids could go wherever they wanted and mommy could play more with them and we all had so much fun.
I love spending time with them and watching them play.
Until next year kids...can't wait!

Lost teeth, cute hair and costumes...

Austin's 3rd lost tooth!!  Yep, 3rd!
So he's lost his two middle bottom teeth and now one more next to the middles :)
Love these pics too don't you?  His face is cracking me up!

Sometimes, Rio will let me be adventurous with her hair and other times, she is just a simple pony tail girl or headband girl which is so cute too.
I loved this hair though and thought she looked so cute so I had to take pics!
So cute!
This little Logan is such a cute boy!  His personality is pretty awesome.
I had to take this pic because as he was getting dressed, he had to wear his "long socks" like his big brothers.  Love him and he adores them!
Cozy time!  These two boys were cozying up trying to stay warm on a colder fall day.
THEY FINALLY ARRIVED!
These two wanted to be Mario and Luigi so bad for Halloween but the costumes were so dang expensive so I found some online that would come shipped from China and we waited, and waited and waited and honestly one day from their school Halloween parade and they finally came in the mail!
HOWEVER...
they were seriously 12 sizes too large!  Honestly, they would have been too big for me and maybe even Spence!
I was dying!!! My boys were so sad!!!
For about 15 minutes, I thought I could just sew them up and pin here and there and then I realized, that wasn't going to happen so,,,off to Target we went with a prayer in our hearts that they would still have a Mario and Luigi costume.
Stay tuned to find out if they did,..

Dead Man's Dinner 10/16

An annual tradition that we finally got to be a part of...
The Dead Man's Dinner.
Roxy and Angie and their families have done this for the last two years or so and it is always so cute and fun.
Here is the picture of our "dead man."
Salad for his face, cauliflower for his brain, spare ribs for his ribs, pasta for his innards :) complete with ghost hot dogs and chicken nuggets.
He looks (and tasted) awesome!
And...look how cute this is.  I found this on pintrest and made it and thought it was so super cute!
This is a copy of the Dead Man's Will -
 
Spence read it out loud and it was really funny because we put all the kids names in it and they thought it was pretty funny.
Cute pics of all the kiddos enjoying the "dead man."
I found these cute labels too for our drinks.
I love Halloween - there are so many fun things to do and decorate - just love it!
We got all our kiddos these skeleton jammies too - I know, super nerdy but they looked so cute!!!
And out of our 3 families and 12 kids only 4 are these pretty girls.
*Lia, Rio, Reese and Avery*
And here are the crazy boys.
*Karson, Austin, Blake (not thrilled about the pic), Kaden, Jax, Logan, Lucas and Hunter*
Love my 5 cutie kids.
The whole clan together!
Aren't they so cute???

After dinner and pictures, we headed out back and did S'mores at our fire pit.  It was so much fun!  The kids and adults had a blast.
Hunter and Jax
Logan and Lucas
Wrestling around - they had the whole yard to play in so of course, they did and loved that they were able to be in the dark too :)
After the outside shenanigans, we came in and watched "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."
We had such a fun night and I cannot wait to do it again next year!
Love these two families so much!
