Halloween 2008

Halloween wasn't what we had anticipated this year. Lyla Grace spent the day at the dr... ear infection and slight case of pneumonia. Needless to say she wasn't able to trick or treat but never fear because Super Nanna was here. We were able to take Mason to a party at the Armstrong's and trick or treating.

Pumpkin Carving and Painting...fun fun

Since Nanna has been in town this week I felt it was a perfect time to carve pumpkins so she could get dirty...not me! The kids loved it. Lyla Grace painted her pumpkin, the sidewalk and her shirt. Mason didn't get a speck of pumpkin guts or paint on him...love it!

Jessica and James Wedding in Asheville

We spent a great long weekend in Asheville for Jessica and James wedding. The weather was chilly but beautiful. My mom and Tim drove up for the weekend to help us witht he kids.

Hiking in Asheville...not sure where???

Pumpkin Patch

Lyla Grace and Luke

We met the Armstrong's, Stead's and Maynard's at the pumpkin patch today!! Although the weather was H-O-T hot we tried to make the best of it :) We went on a hayride, fished in the pond (no luck) and picked out some pumpkins.

Grandmama's Surprise Birthday Party

We went to Ozark for the weekend for a surprise party Clay's dad organized for Melinda. We were all (Will's family, Uncle David and some friends) were all ready to go to the Mexican restaurant for dinner when Clay locked Will's keys in his car...not good. Eric's carseat was locked in the car and we were supposed to be at the surprise party by 7. We couldn't act like it was a big deal waiting for AAA because Melinda had no idea we were on a time schedule. We were all trying to keep our cool :) Clay felt so bad but we all made it to the restaurant and tried not to act rushed at dinner. Everything worked out and she was truly surprised :)

Mason had a lot of fun dancing to the band with Grandmama and Granddaddy!

Eric is cheesing :) too cute

Auburn vs. LSU

We were so excited for football season this year. It was the first year the kids went with us to tailgate and the first game Mason got to actually go sit with his daddy. He lasted until halftime :)

So sad the game ended in a loss for us but it was a great family day!!!

The Rein's have a PLAYROOM!!!

Mama is so excited...i think more so than the kids!!! After much deliberation we decided to convert the guest bedroom to a playroom. Now there is finally a place for all of the neverending toys...YIPPEE :)
