Happy Birthday Banks!

Look who woke up a 4 year old!

Pancakes "from a bowl" for these two. 

Followed by a new cement mixer. 

After church, we had lunch with my parents and the Butlers. 

Oh Mom, Pah-leeeease....can I come in and be a part of the party too??

Indeed he did...and it was crazy.  

Banks' Birthday Party at School

Banks wanted to do his Birthday Party at school this year.   It was perfectly easy and he had a great time celebrating with his school friends. 

Of course, he wanted the theme to be construction.  

Nana and Papa were able to come!!!

My mom really enjoyed the room and how is was decorated.  The teacher in her LIVES forever!

This week, Banks is the prayer leader, so he got to stand and lead the prayer.  

Banks has a new "photo face"  It. is. interesting. 

Sunday, the 23rd, is is real birthday and we are having a very small lunch here after church with my sister and parents.  Then off to Atlanta next for Thanksgiving to see Bryan's family...and eat a cookie cake.  Man, this little guy is getting the royal treatment for the BIG 4.  

Zoo, Halloween, and the Last Soccer Game

We have had some beautiful weather lately and it was nice to be able to take the kids to the zoo a few Saturday mornings ago.  

The sky lift operator insisted Reid was big enough to ride and he was....but it was a bit stressful at the top when he was trying to squirm out.   Never...ever...again.... 

Look who was delivering packages after hours on Halloween!

Someone was not too happy about the horse and buggy ride at Pumpkinfest. 

Banks had his last soccer game of the season and he was so proud to get his soccer medal.

Banks and Coach Gracie. 

Baby brother just hung out on the sidelines the entire season.  Thank goodness for raisins and stroller seat belts.  

One of our sweet sitters, Frances came to see Banks and brought her boyfriend, Corey.
