Happy Halloween!!!

Disclaimer: There were too many good pictures from this fun evening...if you are limited on time, you may not want to continue viewing.


What a wonderful evening for these 2 little trick-or-treaters! The weather was great and they both had a blast! What a beautiful Tinkerbell!!!





Meredith started out not liking her costume very well...



but enjoyed the fact that she was able to get goodies...


After visiting a couple friends..Meredith enjoyed going around the cul-de-sac to our neighbors and grabbing all the candy out of their bowls.

The cutest Minnie Mouse all night (a.k.a. Makenna Champlin).

Then Lauren and I headed out in our neighborhood. This is why I love where we live. It is such a fun atmosphere..it is so nice to just go up and down our street and stay within our neighborhood...see everyone out and about. Lauren had so much fun and even enjoyed giving out candy to a few people when we got home! A great evening!!!





Most of you may not enjoy the rest of these pictures...but I LOVED Lauren's hair!!! We both had our hair cut earlier that morning, so our hairdresser, Deb put the awesome braid headband in Lauren's hair and then I finished it! So pretty..I wish I had her thick hair!!!

Decorating Pumpkins

The Mullers got together to do a little pumpkin decorating. One of Lauren's...what a cute bat!

Jillian discovered the wonderful world of paint!

Lauren helping Ann write "Boo"


Lauren designing the face for Clay to carve.


Then we attempted to get some pictures of the 3 Muller cousins...such busy girls! Meredith (14 months, Lauren 4 1/2 yrs, Jillian 21 months)

What a wonderful day...

to go to a pumpkin patch! Lauren had a soccer game in the morning and it was such a beautiful day, that we decided to stay outdoors and head down to the pumpkin patch. It was nice to enjoy the wonderful fall weather and it's always fun to hang out on a farm. Both girls had a blast!

On the tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch.


Lauren could have spent hours going down this slide.


A favorite of everyone...the HUGE pile of corn to play in.




Working hard to climb up the haystack..


...she made it.



Meredith was so tired, but she was a good sport and went along with everything and then laughed LOUDLY all the way home (instead of sleeping)

Walking through the corn maze.

Lauren was so excited to clean off her pumpkin before taking it home.


We will definitely come back here. It was a great day!!!

A Day out with Thomas

..the train that is. Micah LOVES LOVES LOVES Thomas, so we took him to go have a fun day with him. What good sports the kids were since it rained the entire time we were there.


Silly cousins on the train showing off their Thomas shirts and having so much fun! They loved the train ride!





We love to color...

Micah could have played with the trains all day long.

Lauren with Sir Topham Hatt.

Sugar and spice

and all things nice..that's what little girls are made of. They obviously didn't have my girls in mind when they wrote this nursery rhyme.

Lauren loves Meredith so much that she occassionally spends a little too much time in her personal bubble. Meredith decided to tell Lauren to back off in her own way. She did that by pouncing on her and then biting her on the side of the face.

Fall Fun!

Our favorite time of year. Here are a few things we have done lately.


Lauren started soccer and LOVES IT! The rest of the girls on her team have a little more experience (and are all a year older) so she was a little hesitant at first...but once she scored she got the competitive bug and was determined to make it to the goal everytime. They don't keep score..but she made 6 goals :)..and everyone had a lot of exhausting fun! So, I am now an offical soccer mom. Let the fun begin!

Lauren is the short one in the middle, with her back to the camera.


Breaking out in front to make a goal!

Meredith loved all the action and wouldn't let go of the soccer balls!




Just a cute photo I had to include...

A nice quiet day at the Mullers!
I knew this was too good to be true. I know this photo looks innocent, but after I took a couple pictures I thought...these girls are sitting so nicely, I think I will start making supper. I go into the kitchen and then I hear Lauren yelling for help. I turn around and watch Meredith as she is diving over the side of the chair...Lauren grabs for her legs...Meredith slides out of her pants and Lauren grabs one of her feet and she ends by dangling by her foot. It was a nice save by Lauren.
