sneak peak costumes. . first round trick or treating

so exhausted after trick-or-treating at whitworth. . .
our little monkey who makes us laugh all the time .. . lucia picked out her costume. she truly is a monkey. . crazy, silly, active, and full of surprises!
her first lollipop. . maybe the best thing that has ever happened to her!
crazy mcmurray kids! i love the girls laughing at their brothers.
our keagan who always knows "the cool" he is a cool darling mario.kinkade our knight in shining armor. the sweetest boy i know. his wife is going to be so blessed someday. he is so thoughtful. our joyful bengal tiger. lucia decided after keagan's first grade report last year she was going to be a bengal tiger for halloween. i thought when i had girls that we would have pink sparkely butterfly costumes. i guess not when you have two older brothers and a non-fufu mom. the monkey. . . mario. . the bengal tiger. . and the knight! who knew this would be life as we know it!

crisp air and happy kids!

some favorite fall pictures from the last couple weeks. . . enjoy! we LOVE it here in the fall!putting up grammy's ghosts a favorite fall tradition.
aaron got to go on lucia's field trip to greenbluff and of course bring emery. . notice the dad outfits. . always jeans and t-shirts!
kinkade loves to play in the leaves he talks about it year around. now he has two little sisters to join in on the fun!

look at my baby getting way too old. . sigh!!!

lots of football and soccer!

the boys have been busy with tons of flag football and soccer they love it! here they are last weekend. . i finally got a few pics without chasing a baby around (she was at grandma and papas for the weekend.) lucia is loving playing with siblings at the games.

the football dance. . . . mmmmm . . we need to work on being humble:)

new fun football friends!

kinkade loves this pic because i told he is too fast for me to get on camera!

they love this picture because kinkade is blocking for his brothers touchdown.

keagan brought the class stuffed polar bear home for the weekend so we got lots of pics with him.

it is so fun watching these boys play. . . loving this stage!

haircut finally!

lulu has really really needed a haircut. i have always gone to Blades! so grammy and i took lucia for her first "real" haircut. she was so excited but when we got there she turned into the shyest little girl ever. she never said one word the entire haircut. which is so not like her. . . she never stops talking. it looks so cute!

the final product with Ed!

we went for a special baby sparkle vanilla scone from starbucks on our way home. after she downed the scone i looked back to see this dead asleep!

she cracks me up! first haircut a success!

lulu is off to BIG preschool!

lulu had her official first day of BIG preschool this thursday and loved every second. we are thrilled with her teacher she is the same as the boys had. and truly she is the best preschool teacher God ever created! i asked lucia about mrs. B after her first day and her reply was "mrs. B loves me all the time!" so cute!

she is looking so much older in this picture. we asked her what her favorite thing she did in preschool was and she said "animal rections." mmmmmmmm i cracked up and finally figured out it was a song with animal "directions" where you pretended you were different animals. she also said we played recess!

is this not the cutest backpack ever. . . it is really not that big just looks big compared to lucia.

i feel like we just brought her home and now she is off to big preschool. . what next college??

bye mom!

emery yelling and waving goodbye again . . then there was one left at home:) at least a couple days a week.

daddy brought lucia by work on their way to school so I could get a big hug and fix her hair dad tried to do:)

i love how she is concentrating and sitting here at her seat.

i had to add two pictures of preschool open house. . grammy took her and they had a blast!

i know you will have a fabulous year at big preschool lucia but in the process please stop growing up!!!!!

k&k second grade!

i can't believe it my boys went to SECOND GRADE today! they look gigantic. when did they get so big and grown up????? they have been counting down the days! every other first day of school they have been in cute plaid shorts and a cute t-shirt. . . well gone are those days notice cool Zags basketball shorts and shirt and flashy dry fit Nike soccer shirt. they are my little athletes and now apparently we have to dress like athletes even on the first day of school.

always goofin around. . . i have 800 pictures that look like this.

so big!

kinkade at his desk.

keagan at his desk. . . yes they are still in the same class. they do great together and love to be in the same class!

the backpack shot!

daddy took this picture with their sisters before he walked them to school. they are the sweetest big brothers on the planet.

waving and YELLING BYE!!! emery loves to yell BYE!! aaron said they could still hear her all the way down the block. she thought she was pretty funny.

happy first day to my first babies! i can't wait to hear how it went.
