OCTOBER

I actually decorated in September but will post here.  Like I always say for reference only. Had big plans...

So glad I got this little library shelf from Ballard's a couple of years ago, just love it!

The spooky Village sat on the entertainment center up stairs.

Love my big cutting board from "Magnolia Farms". Perfect for setting out the fancy pumpkins.

Love me some stars from etsy.com. They are all over my house.

My Pumpkins seriously the cutest ever.  They make me smile every single time I put them out.

Now to keep on top of things. October found us celebrating Ike's 8th Birthday.  It is a special time for people of my faith, because we are baptized at that age. Ike was so excited, that his parents couldn't wait for this day to pass. He had been waking up at all kinds of crazy hours, with much anticipation. I forgot my camera that day, I felt so bad.

Cousins were all excited for Ike.

Then it was time for Zeke's big day.  We had a closing the pool for the winter party. We also celebrated Papa's Birthday. Valley Ranch and "Nothing Bundt Cake". I got three sizes so each of the October birthday boys could blow out the candles.

 Zeke didn't have to share he was so excited.

 Kids had crazy fun in the pool again.

Then it was Jacob's turn. They talked the kids out of parties by telling them they would go to Disney World. So small family celebrations it was. Cupcakes from "Treat."

Then it was off to finish up football, baseball, and soccer season.

Gavin's team made it to the finals in the playoffs. They didn't win the game, but Gavin won, in a big way.  He made it through a hot, miserable, hard working, season. I was so proud of him and his attitude at the end.

 Patriot Proud.

Our little princess Pip enjoyed the season. She did a pretty good job for 1st year.

Bay has been fortunate to have been on another talented team.  They nabbed first place again. It was her eye on the ball skills, that kept the game from going into overtime, for the win.

Love all my little athletes! I think basketball with the Stewart's is in our future.
