Our Story

Ben and I met in 1996, began dating in 1999 and married in 2001. Now 20 years and 2 children later, we have returned to where our life together began. Ben works for the Federal Reserve and I have the privilege of staying home with our two precious boys.

Fall Traditions and Halloween Festivities

Every October we head over to the Buford Corn Maze for an afternoon of hay rides and fun. 
This year, Zac, Rylie, and little Merideth were able to go with us!
 Daddy and his boys
 First stop was the hay ride, a family favorite!
 Going through the forest
 Picture pose
 Then pony rides
 Followed by some bouncing
 Then a little playground time
 Crawling through and jumping from some tractor tires
 Racing through the mini maze
 Some baby swinging
 Checking out the petting zoo
 And one last silly picture before we left!

The next day, Caden had his Halloween cookies and milk party with sweet little neighborhood friends. He came up with this idea all on his own and we put together a plan that started with some pumpkin painting. 
Then he and his friends made some spooky PB&J's, pumpkin cakes, spider crackers, witches hats, and broom sticks with some chocolate chip and sugar cookies thrown in to go along with our white and chocolate milk. Sadly, even though the camera sat out the whole time, I didn't think to take any pictures until the party was over and I was cleaning up :-( 
Here are the leftovers:

Then on Sunday afternoon the Dads and kiddos carved pumpkins

Followed by the big day, it was finally Halloween!
Who ya gonna call?
Ready to go!
 Trick-or-treating time
 The boys walked further this year than ever before, scored a bunch of candy, and were home bathed and in bed not too terribly late. I would call that a successful Halloween!
