october moments

October--a month of sunny days, happy kids, and fall goodness. It was a good month! 

 Snuggles with Great Grandma on her 80th birthday

 Showing our Rockies pride for the postseason...too bad Rock-tober only lasted for one day.

 This is Tessa in October--smiley, mouth open, hands ready to grab anything that comes her way

 And of course Rhett wanted his picture taken too. But a good reminder of our daily toast and smoothie breakfasts. 

 Andre took his cufflinks to his first craft show. He made some great connections and has lots more selling days coming up

 Coldest soccer game ever. Fog + icey rain + grumpy baby. Not the best morning.

 Adventuring to new parks.

 Tessa turned 16

 First time in the swing! She was ambivalent about it.

 We found our new go-to pumpkin patch. Pretty close to home, not crowded, free, and a hay maze. That's all we've ever wanted. Rhett loved the old tractor. 

 Pulling our prized pumpkins

 Cutest pumpkin kids around

 Post-church snuggles

 Rhett declared Tessa the "queen of the pumpkins"

 Gorgeous fall sunrises

 Rhett has been working on his second grade dinosaur book. He cracks the code on his own and then I read him the answer. I had to take a picture to document how great he was doing on his own.

 A cold night at Elitches with friends--the boys loved the Halloween decorations.

 A fun night riding alll the rides
