Cousin Time...

A weekend with the nieces and nephews always warrants some quality cousin hot tubbing! Darran joined them...for he never passes up an opportunity for a soak in the tub.
Personally, I feel like this picture says it all...(we'll start from left to right)
Emma - the face of contentment...she's in her happy place,
Darran - never takes an eye off his daughter...can we say "wrapped around the finger"...YES!
Eliza - umm...put her in the water and watch out (Elayna, an even crazier "crazy Eliza" comes out...if you can believe that!)
Kaden - the face of determination...he will defeat that water!
Ethan - the face of relaxation...it's hard to be in 4th grade...trust us, he told us all about it!
Man, we love these kids!

Fall time!

Darran raked up the leaves we had in our yard on Saturday...which meant pile of leaves! Bailey and Mason came over and played with Eliza for awhile.

She had a blast in the leaves!

She thought it was hilarious when Bailey and Mason would throw the leaves onto her head.

Quite the grin!

One size fits all...

Eliza loves finding her shoes when it's time for us to go somewhere. This has transitioned to enjoying finding shoes at anytime and then attempting to walk in them. Saturday morning she found mom's boots, and with a little help got herself into them. These were one of the more difficult pairs to walk in...but she still liked it!

Happy Halloween!

We had a Happy Halloween yesterday and Eliza really seemed to enjoy it. She caught on to collecting candy pretty fast! First she went trick-or-treating at Nana and Papa's house...
...then Grandpa and Grandma's house.

On our way home we thought it was awfully quiet in the back seat...till we turned around and found this! She took that chocolate bar right out of her bag and didn't let the wrapper stop her. Chocolate everywhere and one happy girl!

But Eliza's favorite part was that she figured out the fastest way to accumulate candy was to take it right from the bowl...

...and place it in her bag. No need to go door to door when you can just do that! But daddy did take her to a few houses so she had the "true experience!"

Happy Halloween everybody!
