nieces' visit

Dawn walked in the Breast Cancer Walk on the 22nd, so we got to have the girls come over and play for the morning. The three girls helped me cook breakfast and played very well together. Everyone had a blast.

group photo op!

gotta love oreos!

Colby had his first taste of Oreos the other night. Gotta say he loved it, and he was a mess! I had to take a couple pics. What a cutie! Yep...all that mess around the face is from one cookie. You should have seen his hands!

pumpkins

Al and Becky carved pumpkins mid October. I wasn't feeling well that day, so I just snapped a few pictures. Al sure had fun carving four pumpkins!

soccer

Becky is in a six-week soccer league on Thursday nights. She loves it! She is pretty darn good too. It's fun to watch her play.

Oh! Here is her missing second tooth!

first fallen leaves

This pile of leaves is nothing compared to what Al and Becky raked up this weekend, but a couple weeks ago there were enough leaves to play in, so I snapped a few pictures.

Clay County Fair

We also went to the Clay County Fair while we were in Spencer. It was pretty chilly that day, but fun as always.

Becky taught Colby how much fun it is to play in Grandma's closet

Becky lost her first tooth the Thursday before we left for Spencer!

Becky has another tooth that has been loose about as long as the other one.  She says she has been messing with it, but it's still hanging on for dear life much like the other one did.  She was terrified to let anyone touch it because it might hurt.  It actually fell out in her sleep we think.  When she was eating her cereal on Friday morning, she realized her tooth was gone.  She was shocked that it didn't even hurt!

another birthday celebration

We headed to Spencer the weekend after Colby's birthday. He got to celebrate it again. Good thing he likes cake and presents!

He loved eating the ribbon and crawling through the paper the most. He was having a blast!
