Fall Favorites '14

Almost Thanksgiving already, so I guess it's time to post some of my favorite fall pictures we've taken up to this point. Time is flying this autumn, my new favorite time of year - so I want to show a few memories I captured before time creeps away any further!

Our Rosh Hashanah apple honey challah -  recipe found here. You can also see pics from the first time I made it back here.

At the Rosh Hashanah kids' service

Back at Grandma & Papa's house for Rosh Hashanah... I loved this contrast.

This one just reminds me of an old '80s Polaroid. . . the Pierce grandsons.

Banner got his cast off at the end of September

Immediately after his cast came off, Banner had a dental appointment. Here he is getting his prize for giving up his pacifiers to Fontina the Paci Fairy!

It was warm enough in early October after Banner got his cast off to have some water play he'd been missing...

It was actually Quinn's first time in our sprinklers (he wasn't a fan of them as a crawler, and he started walking right when Banner got his cast).

Playing trains with Uncle Tyce

Building our sukkah

First night of Sukkot

The theme was "Southern Sukkah"

Second night of Sukkot; the theme was Fire Sukkah!

 

 

Then we went to the Fire Station for Fire Prevention Week Open House!

Sweet Friends - Banner & Ella's play date

We got to go hear Aunt Kindle practice with the Longhorn Band before Texas/OU

I made her pose for us. She looks thrilled, right?

Then, the following day, we went to watch the game at Logan & Alan's house.

I love watching these two together.

Beep, Beep!

Deep in conversation!

Another Sukkah night - the theme was Pie Night (chicken pot pie)

And Pi Pie :) (Oreo pudding pie)

A night out at the Fair

Saving Second Base's 5th annual Race for the Cure

We went back to Mom and Bob's to surprise Mom with a special video

Then, we presented a special gift (pink Louisville slugger)

First Halloween event - Boo Bash at our dentist's office!

My newest little pumpkins! Our cousins, Greenley & Graham!

Second Halloween event - Boo Bash at the Rec Center

The only picture I could capture of Ella and Banner together

Banner's class led Shabbat - I LOVE this picture of all their hands on the challah.

Banner wore Mommy's old clown costume that Grandma made over 30 years ago.

Halloween night - before Banner's make-up smeared all over the place.

Levi's first Halloween

Quinn hated his costume, but I, however, could not get enough of him in it!

Grandma's first trick-or-treaters!

Then, we headed out to trick-or-treat with friends. Banner looks more constipated than happy. :)

Just hanging out at home giggling

We went to the "Hello Texas" party Toyota threw, and Banner got to go fishing! He caught his first fish that night!

Mommy & Quinn selfies

Whew! What a big season we've had! So many memories, so many stories, so much fun!

HAPPY FALL Y'ALL!
