Halloween!

This could be my favorite time of year! I love the pumpkin patch, selecting and putting together costumes, carving pumpkins, and "borrowing" some Reese's Peanut Butter cups from the boys. We also made some caramel apples this year with about a pond of caramel on each one. Owen went for mini M&M's, Garret and Brendan did plain, and Meg added some crushed pretzels for that salty-sweet yumminess!





























Soccer All Around

We had a fall full of soccer this year. Brendan took over as the coach for Garret's team, FC Gators, and Owen continued on his Little Lightning team with his kindy buddies ~ we are thrilled that our love of soccer is enjoyed by both Garret and Owen.




Next spring, Owen's team is dropping the "Little" from their name, so watch out... Lightning is going to strike!

Owen Turns Six

I'm more than a little behind on this lil' blog... so hang in there as I catch us up to the present.

Owen turned the big S-I-X on October 3rd. He was so excited for the celebrations and was eager to share his big day with the family.

We took a trip to the bowling alley with Umpa, Nana, Steph, Matt, and Kenna. While bumper bowling can be a challenge, capturing a shot in mid air always makes for more fun!

   
    
    




We followed up bowling with a little treat at CO-YO...

Then a pizza dinner and birthday ice cream...



and some presents...






It was an Angry Birds sort of Birthday ~



Happy Birthday, Owen. We love you big guy!
