Leah...never one to shy away from posing!! Our pumpkins this year. It's kind of hard to tell, but the far left is a werewolf Scott did, I did a smiley face, Aunt Lisa helped Jackson do a bat and I did a smiley face for Leah
We went to the Dallas Arboretum with my sister-in-law Abby and my niece brinley. That was our first time to go and it was so beautiful with all the fall colors! The kids had a blast!!
Leah, Jackson and Brinley
The kids and I
Leah's silly face :)
Just sittin' on some pumpkins
I thought this was a neat picture...we didn't have them pose, they just happened to each be standing in front of a fountain
They just HAD to touch the water...just in case it felt different than at home :)
Loved, loved this pic too. The trees are just so pretty, and the way the kids are holding hands is just precious
Jackson had the brilliant idea to try and climb the tree...such a boy

The kids had a Halloween Party at school, but they had to dress up as animals. Instead of buying a 2nd costume for them, we got creative. Leah wore Jackson's chicken costume from when he was a one-year-old!!! (reminds you just how big are little man was :)) Lisa and I made Jackson a doggy costume, since that is his favorite animal. He like that costume even more than the one we paid for!!
It was so funny to go to the kid's classrooms during the parties and see the difference from the 2 year old class, which was chaotic and lots of screaming, to Jackson's class, which was quiet and organized-all the kids stood in line and waited their turn. God bless teachers :)
My cute little Doggy
The kids costumes for actual Halloween-Leah was Wonderwoman and Jackson was DJ Lance from a tv show called Yo Gabba Gabba. 
Two Cool kids (If you look real closely, you can see Jackson's Doggy nose is still on from school)
Jackson doing his DJ Lance pose, I think we have a future actor
He is going to kill me one day
Uncle Mark helping Wonderwoman fly
Our babies hugging...so sweet
Megan with a shotgun...she is looking too comfortable, we need to get her home to Dallas ASAP!!
Now me...not so much
At least my outfit was appropriate for the shotgun...flannel :)
Jackson loved pushing the button to shot out the clay discs..."Pull!"
Jackson shooting a gun for the 1st time!!! Daddy giving him instructions. He was hitting the targets by the end, he LOVED it!!
This is the only time we got Leah out of the car during target practice. She stayed in the car watching her DVD player. At one point she started yelling for me, and when I went to see what was wrong, she said, "There's a bug in the car." I think she is more like Mommy when it comes to nature :)
After target practice, Jared thought Scott was ready for the real deal, Scott came home with this TURKEY!! We ate it for dinner, it was DELICIOUS!
Meagn and Jared have a horse named Snoop...Jackson is so good with animals, he loved him!! He is always so gentle and not the least bit intimated by them. I think he would be a wonderful vet one day! I love my sweet boy!!
Look at him with Snoop!?!
He thought it was pretty funny when Snoop sneezed on him
Leah riding "horsey" with daddy
Jackson's turn!!
Look at that smile on his face!! We had such a great time, thanks Megs and Jared!!!
Scott's Birthday was November 5th, the kids and I decided to surprise him with a homemade cake in the shape of a tooth :) I did it free-hand, so I was pretty proud. Here are the kids "helping me" make the cake
Scott's "Tooth C-ache" Get it???
Birthday boy...and Jackson sneaking up to blow out the candle
Caught ya!!
As I am sure most of you know, Scott is in the middle of applying for a pediatric dentristry residency, so we have been going to different cities the past couple of weeks, and have a few more to go. His first interview was in Newark, NJ. Newark itself isn't the prettiest, but it is a 15minute drive and you are in manhattan, how cool is that?!! We had a really good time visiting there. It brought back a lot of memories because Scott proposed to me in Central PArk 6 1/2 years ago and that was out first time back. I love that guy!! This is a view of Manhattan from Newark
Thought this was a neat picture looking up at the trees
Scott and I on "Our Rock" in Central Park where he proposed
The view from our rock of Central Park...the colors were gorgeous in the fall!!
Ice skating in the middle of Central Park...something I can check off of my Bucket List :) So fun, but more painful than I remember it...
My Amazing Husband
Right after Ice skating
We had a really good dinner at this cute little Italian Restaurant called Basso's in NYC,so yummy!!
Times Square...here is where we made a BIG mistake!! We decided to get some honey roasted cashews from a street vendor and Scott got food poisoning that night!! He was up getting the sick the night before his interview!
The morning of his interview./ I was like a mom on their kids first day of school. He was begging me not to take a picture, but I am so proud of him, I had to ;)
Ok so the next weekend, we took the kids and were off to Memphis. WE LOVE MEMPHIS!! It is only a 6 hour drive, the people there are great, the food is good, the city has lots to do and the cost of living is affordable. If we had to move, I could see us being very happy here! While Scott had his interview I packed up the kids and went to the Children's Museum. We had so much fun!! This is a pic of Jackson looking at a Hot Air Balloon Display, that actually took flight when it heated up enough. The look on his face is priceless
Leah was pretty mesmerized by the balloon, too
I could have just them both here all day :)
The museum also had a play grocery store for the kids...it was so cute, it had all sorts of play food and it was even divided into categories like a real grocery store. It had a pharmacy with a Blood Pressure machine and I got to be the check-out lady...see even Mommy got to play :)
Jackson knows the necessities, he already had toilet paper in his cart and he is grabbing his "milkies." Leah on the other hand, has 3 bottles of ketchup and a carton of OJ :) You can tell a lot about their personalities by their grocery carts :)
They had a "My first trip to the Dentist" section at the museum, Scott was so proud when he saw these pics and saw the kids brushing the teeth so thoroughly :)
Whenever you ask Jackson what he is going to be when he grows up, he gives you one of two answers- it's either " a train engineer" or "a dentist like daddy." Here he is pretending to be "a dentist like daddy."
The kids tackling the "Tooth Puzzle" together
Architecture part of the museum...the kids just like hanging out of the window

Our kids might be night and day personality-wise, but they definitely have opne thing in common...they love to dance!! This was a disco room, that was dark, with a disco ball and loud music...they had a ball!!
Leah dancing
They had a tv room, where yo stood in front of a green screen, you could choose your background and then you could see yourself on TV. Jackson loved the surfing background, Leah had it in her head that a guitar was fitting for the surfing scene :)
Jackson Surfing...and Leah playing the Beach Boys
Jackson of course loved the train part of the museum, here is posing in front of Railroad Crossing SignThat is all for now!! I apologize for the repeat pics from Facebook to here, but there is family not on Facebook who can only see the pics on here!! Hope everyone is doing well! Love you all!!
