Fun-Filled Day with Friends......and Turkeys!

Fall is here and it is sooooo wonderful! Pumpkin patches, yummy food, cooking binges my mommy gets on, cool weather.....its all so great! Well, its been a busy week for us at home so mommy and I decided to take the day off and call up some dear friends for a fun filled Turkey Day! We made turkey cupcakes and thankful turkeys that say what we are thankful for. It was the perfect dreary day to hang out with good friends inside and have some fun. Since a lot of my friends are girls, it was good to get in some "testosterone filled man time" with my friend Bryce too. We are always silly willy's when we are together! So here is to a fun filled turkey day.....hip, hip hooray!!!!

With 3 kids around, normally the bowl gets licked pretty clean. :-)

So here we are making our Turkey Cupcakes. We all got to frost our own cupcake then decorate it.The creative bunch slapping some yummy chocolate frosting on those sugar filled cupcakes. :-)

What cupcake decorating party is fun without having a quality control team to sample the final prodcut? Welcome to any party with boys. :-)

Here we are decorating away.....I've never had candy corn before, but I found out they taste pretty good. Mommy says they taste like sugar coated plastic and are yucky. I think I may disagree.

So this is the final product Mommy constucted to show us the ropes on how to make a Turkey Cupcake.......check out our final products....I think we may have skipped a step (or 2). :-)
By the way, our mommies would not let us eat the turkey we made. They said something about too much sugar and making us puke??!?? They looked rather good to us. :-)

Meet my Turkey Cupcake.....I drowned him in sprinkles. :-)

This would be Mayce's creation. She had a rather fluffy turkey with lots of candy corn feathers.

And finally, this would be Bryce's Turkey Cupcake. His is rather fluffy with lots of feathers AND it got a sprinkles bath. :-)

This is a picture of a 21st century play date. We each have our own laptop AND we are watching a movie. We can multi-task at a very young age.....and in style with our laptops. :-)

The 2nd part of our fun-filled turkey day was to makeThankful Turkeys with our mommies help. We made super cute turkeys and wrote what we were thankful for. It was lots of fun....although I wasn't as interested as my friends. I was to busy singing and listening to My Savior Lives....my new favorite song these days. :-)

Mommy interruption.......I know you fully enjoy Taylor writing his blog and telling you all the things he is currently doing. However, I thought I would interrupt this blog and give you a little mommy translation of this craft we did today. So all the kids were telling what they were thankful for. I started asking Taylor what he was thankful for, these are the things he said.....Baby King, books, God, Erin, worship and Jesus. I am so greatful he said Jesus and God.....I mean, he should love those above all else. That answer I am forever grateful for. But where is mommy and daddy?? I asked him, what about mommy and daddy. He said "Um, how about Erin and books." Niiiiiice. Fun times as a Mommy. :-) I love you Taylor.....your precious humor and worship filled life are so sweet to me. You are the greatest joy to us and we love you so very much! I know you love your mommy and daddy. We'll try again next year. :-)

Nash Farms Festival

This past weekend was the Annual Nash Farms Fall Festival. It is a Historical Building in Grapevine that used to be an operating farm at one point. They have lots of fun things to do. We brought Grammie along for the ride and had a good time. :-)

All I need is some Wranglers and some cowboy boots....anyone want to loan me some??

Pumpkin Patch......Take 2

Last week we went back to the Pumpkin Patch to catch a little more fun time (and pictures) with some dear friends! We had a great time. My friend Bryce and I are the only boys of the bunch, so we always have a ball when we are together.....thankfully both of our mommies are having baby boys, so we can up the testosterone count during play dates soon! :-) I love my friends and I am so blessed by them. They bring me lots of joy!

Mrs. Becky came with us this time too. I'm so glad she did! Me and Bryce had lots of fun riding around in the wagon with her!

Buds Forever. :-)

Pumpkin Patch....first trip. :-)

I am so excited it is time for the pumpkin patch! It is only here one month out of the year, so we usually get to go lots of times. :-) This was the first of our trip so the pumpkin patch. Mommy and I went with Payton and Aunt Kelsi. While mommy and Kelsi sat in their comfy chairs, Payton and I had a ball. Good times!

Here's a little health tip for you: Milk, it does my body good....Payton, your Diet Coke is yucky!

Real Men share their food....now that's true love! :-)

The Amazing Brooke

My sweet friend Brooke has been training for a triathlon for several months now. We went to go cheer her on as she swam, rode her bike, and ran in the Toyota US Open Triathlon in Dallas this weekend. It was amazing to see what she has trained for and all the hard work she has been doing. It paid off and she did amazing. It was fun to watch her "play in her game" as I say. :-) Go Brookie!Brooke, Mommy, Me & Daddy

Here she is making her bike to run transition.

Run, Brooke, Run!

Here is me in my Brooke Fan Club Shirt.....everyone needs a fan club!

She came...and she conquered!

Oklahoma Trip....Part 3.....THE VEGGIE TALES LIVE SHOW!!!!

Wow!!! That is what comes to mind when I think about the fantastic super fun Veggie Tales Show I got to go see! Anyone who knows me know that I am a 100% Veggie Tales Nut!! I love Veggie Tales and have for almost 2 years now. I can tell you all the songs, silly songs, movies.....basically anything. If there was a Veggie Trivia game, I would win! :-) They are definitely one of my very very favorites. Well, Veggie Tales Live wasn't coming to Dallas, so mommy and daddy decided to take me to the one in Oklahoma City since we would be going there for the reunion anyways. It was so super fun! I asked about it almost every day for a few weeks and now I can't quit talking about how cool it was! They sang so many of my favorite silly songs and Bob and Larry were so big. I was grinning from ear to ear the day of and kept telling mommy "I'm so excited to see Bob and Larry today mom!" So there you have it.....a dream come true....I got to see Bob and Larry right in front of my eyes in real life. So fun!

Showing off my new Veggie Gear.....sweet!
