October has been a fun, yet busy month. We went down and visited Granny and Papa . And my grandparents got to meet their newest Great-Grand Daughter. Lexi just loved being snuggled by them. It was so sweet to see her loved by so many people. I cried when my Grandma was holding her and tears started coming from her eyes. My Grandma has Alzheimers and has lost her speech as well as most of her mobility but she could hold Lexi and it was such a sweet moment, So I snapped a bunch of photos. And I feel dumb because I forgot to get a 4 generation photo... So that's my goal next time I go down!
Lucky for us it was irrigation day.... ONE of my favorite days growing up. I am so glad my boys got to enjoy it! As you can see they had a
BLAST! Where we live irrigation has blood suckers and such so they can't really play in it... but down there it is pure heaven, it runs down the main street and collects in the middle of town.
Can you tell my boys
LOVE water?
Vincent loved splashing my mom!
Another Novelty of where I grew up is
LIZARDS! There are many... lol and Gabriel caught his first! (of course he's caught plenty with help) But HE caught it! The lizards usually drop their tails to get away, and I'm not quite sure why this one didn't but he caught it and brought it in the house holding it by it's tail and I jumped up and yelled get it out quick (thinking it would get loose in the house... that's all I would need to happen at my mom's house... because lets be honest I'm not sure it's be able to catch that thing if it were loose in there) so Gabe went out and found a bucket. Gave it some dirt and rocks.... you see where this is going? And carried it around for 3 days.... YEP our lizard died of head and body trauma.... from being swung with and put down the slide. He was a good sport though. And Gabe took it really well... "We just need Jesus to come down and bring him back to life." in which I responded I am sure Jesus will honor that request when he comes next... I mean
HOW could he not? Such a cute boy, with amazing amounts of Faith.
And this is what we came home to.... COLD.... Yep it Snowed... "I've been waiting all year for this"-Gabriel (keep in mind we got snow in June this year and it was my son who prayed for it!)
needless to say I have a feeling it's going to be a LONG winter.
My Precious little girl! I just love this photo!
I was in charge of a couple of Craft projects for Fabulous Friday and so I needed to cut lots of wood! I had Three
AMAZING helpers as you can see! Seth Helped too but I'm pretty sure these three did most of the work!
And of course our
AWESOME trip to the firehouse... OPEN HOUSE! How cool they do this every year and I can't believe how much I learned and it was cool for my kids to see up close how it would be! They showed us how they would get you out of your car in an accident and how to actually put out fires which I thought was the coolest and even the life flight helicopter!(which Vincent went nuts for) Some things I've just never actually thought about... I would recommend going to one of these if you ever have the opportunity. My boys loved it and we spent a good 4-5 hours there!
I had a ton of photos I wanted to fit in... lol can you tell?
Everyone picked out their pumpkins... Gabe needed the BIGGEST one there ever was...
Gabriel designed his pumpkin face on a paper first and this is how it turned out!
Vincent was up for anything but he seemed like he needed a happy one!
Lexi's was falling over a lot so the scared look seemed to fit best!
