Halloween 2012

Halloween was great this year!  The boys were so cute as Woody 1 & Woody 2.  Ace loved being Woody!  Opa's boots fit really well now & Ace has been wearing them pretty regularly.  He loves stomping around.  We started our trick or treating experience with the Fall Festival at The Children's Museum.  The boys had a great time!  Ace said trick or treat a few times, but mostly candy please:)  Both worked just fine.  The boys played for a while before we headed to campus to pick up Daddy.  There were lots of activities set up for kids.  Ace was excellent at ring toss!  He piled up all of the rings on his Dr. Pepper:)  He really liked bowling too!  Ace was pretty cute bobbing for apples, even though he couldn't get the apple out.  After leaving campus, we stopped by the McClelland's to see Lawson & Grayson (Thing 1 & Thing 2).  The boys played for a little bit, we grabbed supper, & headed home to eat our candy.  We had a blast!

 Cute boy!

 Ace loves pushing the buttons in the elevator!

 Jett builds it, Ace knocks it down.

 Ace was sad that the train wasn't running.

 We love the fire pole!

 Ace told me, "Mine alligator!"

 Trying to find where he left his shopping cart.

 Bobbing for apples:)

Pumpkin Patch

The boys had a great time at the pumpkin patch this year!  They were so busy that it was hard to get a lot of pictures.  Ace loved the pumpkins & the scarecrows!  Jett requested a pirate pumpkin this year, so Daddy carved it, and Momma painted his eye patch & hat.  We had a great time!

 Looking for the perfect pumpkin:)

 "Cheese!"

 Ace loved the scarecrows!

 Sweet boys!

Pirate Pumpkin:)



Fun at G & Opa's House

We had a lot of fun at G & Opa's house this summer!  Ace loves to swim & jump in the pool!  He also really enjoys the rock climbing wall & slide at the park in G & Opa's neighborhood.  I've included some of my favorite pictures from our visits this summer.

 Cute boy!

 Ace now slides on his belly backwards??:)

Opa heated the hot tub just a bit in October so that the boys could swim:)

Tennessee Trip 2012

I'm almost caught up!  Here are the pics from our trip to Tennessee this past summer.  Ace was big enough this time to really have fun!  The boys & I spent a week in Tennessee while Ryan was on a business trip.  Ace & I flew home, and had some fun at G & Opa's while Jett went on to Kentucky with Pop & Polly.  We had a great time visiting with Aunt Winnie and Momma's friend, Courtney, in Fayetteville.  We also enjoyed our time in Clifton with Grandmother & Grandaddy and Mawmaw & Pawpaw.  And as always, it was really great to see Mama Holt before we had to go home:)  We had a wonderful time in Tennessee, and can't wait to see everyone again at Christmas!

 The boys loved watching all of the airplanes!

 Ace enjoyed the ride to Aunt Winnie's house.

 He was so tired.  He really didn't want to be at the river!

 I love this post-nap hair!

 Ace loves Uncle Mark's "cycle"!

 Ace had a blast getting Uncle Mark wet with Grandmother's fountain:)

 My sweet boys.

 Swinging & chatting with Grandmother:)

 Riding the horse with Momma:)

 Ace loved the donkey!

  The fun of hiding under Mawmaw's bed!

Enjoying the view from our seats with no one else around;)

 

Day 4: Epcot

Our final day was spent at Epcot with a quick trip back to Magic Kingdom.  Ace really liked the Finding Nemo ride with the aquarium and exploration area all connected.  It was a pretty great area!  We saw lots of dolphins, sharks, turtles, & fish.  We were short on time, so we went over to the area with all of the countries next.  We had lots of characters to see!  We went to France first.  We saw Marie from the Aristocats and Belle.  We were pretty bummed that Beast was not with her.  Belle really liked the boys.  She referred to them as "princes" and told them they were as strong as Gaston:)  She gave Ace a kiss right after our picture.  Ace didn't mind:)  Next, we went to Morocco.  We met Aladdin & Jasmine there and moved on to Japan where Jett got his picture made with grassy Mater & Lightning McQueen in Tokyo.  We went to China last.  We met Mulan.  She was pretty great!  She answered all of our questions and surprised Jett with a kiss to match Ace's!  We had a great time at Epcot, then jumped on the monorail to Magic Kingdom.  We picked up our light saber souvenirs in Tomorrow Land and our Mickey ears on Main Street, then we packed up to go home.

 We met Marie from the Aristocats in France.

 My "little princes" loved talking to Belle in France!

 Belle liked Ace!  She gave him quite a kiss:)

 We met Aladdin & Jasmine in Morocco.  Jett really liked Jasmine!

 Mulan noticed Ace's kiss.  Jett was explaining how Belle left it on his face:)

 Mulan is one of our favorites!  We met her in China.

 My boys love the monorail!
