Fall Fun!

Saturday we had some fall fun!  We headed out to Raleigh Road Nursery...
The kids couldn't wait to do the hay maze!
I love this picture - the smiles, the look of excitement, and the way Ella has her arm wrapped around Caleb.  So sweet! 
Caleb in the hay maze - he looks so small!

Feeding the baby goats
 
Funny Story - they also had turkeys to feed.  Ella was out there standing by the fence minding her own business and her hair was blowing in the wind.  The turkey stuck his neck out and grabber her hair.  She was scared to death and cried for a while!  Later she told us she was going to wring that turkeys neck!

 Caleb loved the animals

 Owen liked the animals too
Sweet little cousins

Saturday afternoon we started getting ready for Halloween
Any guesses who Ella wants to be???
 
Saturday night Corey and I went to dinner
 We celebrated 9 years of marriage!
So thankful for him and what a great husband and daddy he is!
 
We got back from dinner and everyone piled on daddy!
 
 
Found a few cute pictures on Corey's phone I wanted to share....
Last weekend Caleb said his teacher told him it was free donut day if he talked like a pirate.  So we went and he was so cute doing his little spill they practiced in class "Argh, May I have a donut?"
The lady was so sweet and smiled and said "The free donuts are at Krispy Kreme" and we were at Dunkin Donuts :(
Oh well, we still bought the boy a chocolate donut with sprinkles! 
Ella wanted a "pink donut" 
 Corey went to a meeting at Caleb's school this week and took a picture of some artwork in the hallway.
Ella loves to get in our bed and night to "read her bible".  She always says she is reading her Bible no matter what book it is!
