“Boo”tiful Sonora is THREE!!!

On Halloween morning, Q and I got dressed in our festive wear (I had on my annual Halloween orange jacket and my black and orange striped tights!), and headed to celebrate Sonora’s 3rd Birthday at Build-a-Bear. Q had never been to a Build-a-Bear party and he had such a great time! He got to act crazy with his best buddy, pick out a bear (that he decided to name “Palie!”), kiss a heart for Sonora to put in her bear, kiss a heart to put in his own bear, stuff his bear, give his bear a bath, dress him, sing songs with him and then hug him to pieces! Then, he got to head upstairs for cake and a carousel ride! A pretty cool day, right? We loved celebrating THREE with Sonora!!!  

Meet These Crazies…

…a Joe Jonas just strummin’ a song

…Tigger with a bounce in his step

…a conductor with places to go

…a pirate with a treasure to hunt

…a cowboy with buddies to herd

…a football player with plays to call

…a Tom Cruse look-alike with “risky business” to plan

…and a golfer that is way above par! 

{I think that this picture perfectly describes how Q felt about this little photo shoot!}

Cara hosted the most fabulous Halloween playgroup!!! And, the boys had a great time just being themselves…but in costume!!! They were so cute and enjoyed way too many sweets!!!…Especially the ones that were used as bribery to get them all to sit still for the pic! :)

And, even though these wild cupcakes made an appearance…

…this little sweet was the icing on our playgroup cake! Miss Ellie is the only girl in the bunch…and she’s already fulfilling her role as precious and girly!!! …

Thanks, everyone, for the fun goodies and for the fun time!!!

Happy Halloween!

A REAL fall day at the pumpkin patch…

On Wednesday, Q and I headed out for our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch. We went to a different one this year and Quinn had a great time! It ended up being lots colder than the weather man said, and I loved it! It felt the way it should when you visit the pumpkin patch…like REAL fall!!! (not the typical 80 degree Texas fall day!) Quinn fed the animals, played in they hay, rode a “bucket train,” went on a hay ride and picked the perfect “little pumpkin!” And, most importantly, he had a great time with buddies of all ages! … I was so happy that Mock-a-Moly decided to come with Baby Titus and that two of Q’s playgroup buddies made it for the fun…along with some of our favorite friends from church!!! I always look forward to our Pumpkin Patch trip and know that we will have many more to look forward to in years to come!…

 

One of my favorite parts of the visit was Quinn interacting with this goat! He must have thought he was extra special, because when I walked up on them, I overheard him telling this silly white goat all about Mater…about how funny Mater was and how fast. And, he even did a few impressions of Mater for this lucky guy! It was the MOST precious thing EVER!!!…      

And, the kids had the BEST time on this silly bucket train! They honked their horns 1,000 times and laughed and played!!! It was cute!…
