Halloween, Halloween trick or treat!

I know this is late- story of my life. But we had a great Halloween and I wanted to share. Mason and Reagan dressed as Batman and Robin this year. I know sibling costumes won't last too much longer so as long as they are interested I will try to make it work.  I think Reagan loved that her costume had an R on it- she was so excited to tell everyone she was Batman's sidekick. LOVE her.
I love all the events leading up to Halloween that let us get so many more wears out of our costume. We went to trunk or treat at our church, Farragut's Freaky Friday, and then Halloween night! Don't worry Monday after Halloween we got rid of the majority of our candy.
We let them each keep a few pieces and gave the rest away!

Our sweet neighbors!

Fall Break

Mason had Fall Break the last few days so we took advantage of our free time to spend some time together! The bummer of having one child in private school and one in a preschool that follows the public school calendar is different breaks. I had planned on letting Reagan stay home on Friday but she really wanted to go to school so I let her. Mason and I spent the morning at a local gym with some friends from his class. It was great to spend some one on one time with Mase. It hasn't been just the two of us in a long time and although we had a blast we both missed our little fireball Reagan.
Saturday we headed to Chattanooga for a birthday party with sweet Cam. It was great getting to see my college roomie and I love watching our kiddos grow up together!

Sunday we decided to lay low and ended up heading to a movie in the afternoon. We saw "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2." It's such a funny movie and we enjoyed it just as much as the kids!

And on Monday, we headed to DOLLYWOOD! The kids and I went last spring with my sister but it was chilly and drizzly and we didn't stay long. The weather has been great lately and I wanted to do something big for Fall Break. It was an amazing day and the icing on the cake- Steve took off and came with us! It was a great day- Mason rode SO many rides- he has some of his mama in him after all!

I promise she was having fun just trying to get three people to smile at the same time- not really happening lately!

 teacups!

 She LOVED driving with daddy!

 

 Mason loved the shooting star- he kept laughing!

 The arrow is Mason and Steve. I was surprised he did this one, 

but he loved it and said it was his favorite ride.

 They were so high!

 Reagan was super excited about the dragon.

 Reagan kept saying "best day ever" and I have to agree. 

Seeing these three smiles- best.day.ever.

 And a great way to end fall break. Tomorrow we go back to school! (until Thursday when Reagan and I are off for "our" fall break.) Guess it isn't too bad to have different breaks!

Say CHEESE

At the end of July we had family pictures made in Lynchburg, TN. I had been following Stacy Preston Photography on facebook for over a year and she posted a session special and I decided to was time to get some updated pics! I love photography and I love seeing how different photographers capture our families personality with their style. Her style is to take pictures at dawn/dusk to get some great rays of light shining through and I have to say I think she did a great job. She was easy to work with and did a great job with our kiddos- especially considering they were in rare form. Seriously when we left Steve said "there is no way those are going to turn out" and yet they did! These are just a "few" of my favorites!

 If you know Mason, you know Rabbit. I'm happy we incorporated him into pictures.

 It was important to me to get some one on one pictures of us with the kids and I love these!

 Seriously look at those smiles!

 I don't know why BUT I love this picture of Reagan- this is her.

 I love these two.

 I was happy to get some of Steve and I. These were long over due.
