A "Spook-tacular" Weekend!

We Love Love Love Fall!

Did I say that we love Fall? We are obsessed with everything Autumn at the Howatt House! The cooler temps. are FABULOUS, and being able to be outside and enjoy those temps. is even more FABULOUS! The pics below are just a few! I had to stop b/c this post was getting way too long. So, consider this Fall Blog Post Part 1. Part 2 will come soon!

Yea for Fall decorations...love em!

Our girl is getting good on her "big-girl bike". Oh, and she can rock a turtle-neck like no other!

Oh, be still my heart! I'm just absolutely in love with this cutie! Such a big boy going to school!

Emerson Brady

Holla for swinging by themselves! (FYI: I have so enjoyed standing and swinging our babies, but you have to admit that sitting in a chair with a magazine and watching them swing on their own has it's perks too!)

Fun Fall shadows-Peace Out!

We rake ALOT of leaves for these two! Love it!

Painting pumpkins!

(Look at that big jump!)

Notice the name on the bottom of Goo's pumpkin? Well, that caused a knock-down drag-out a few seconds after I snapped this pic. But, that's not "perfect-family" fall fun talk so we won't go into that.

Love that tongue-out concentration!

This pic was just too cute not to share!

Emerson and Daddy went to the Pumpkin Patch with his class for their first field trip. (More pics on that in Part 2!) They had a blast and Mr. E was most excited about getting to pick cotton. Here he is with his treasure! (Notice their stinkin' cute pumpkins shirts they made for the trip!)

Look who's having a birthday soon! # 3...can you believe it? It's gonna be a Princess shin-dig this year per request of the Princess herself! :)

Happy Fall Y'all! xxxooo!

"Mommies have birthdays too?"

That was the question that Mr. Emerson asked me when he heard that I was having a birthday the next day! And yes, I celebrated the big number "33" this year and was it ever a celebration. My sweet husband set up a big dinner at one of our favorite restaurants with a lot of my wonderful friends! (Thanks guys!) What a great surprise! We had a blast!

Thank you Todd-you continue to make me feel like the most loved and blessed wife ever. I love you more this minute than I ever have. xoxoxo!

Can you say "sugar coma"? :)

I wish I had been able to take pics with all my fabulous friends that were there that night, but those darn kids just get in the way! (just kidding!) Thank you all for coming-you made me feel so very special! I love you all!

P.S. Don't worry, a big Fall post of the kiddos is coming soon!
