For the last month Emma has asked me to cut her hair to her shoulders. We decided that we weren't going to do anything till Halloween because she wanted a Cinderella bun for her costume, and then we would see if she still wanted it cut. Through the month she kept asking and we decided that maybe she really did want it, so we cut it. I ended up cutting about eleven inches off. She says that she loves it and she is happy with it. That's good because we can't do anything about it now. Also notice the holes in her mouth, she has lost six teeth in the last two months. Crazy!!
I am going to apologize before I get going, I have so many pictures to get caught up on for the month, so bear with me and enjoy!!
Soccer is finally over for the fall, Yea!! But basketball is right around the corner. The boys have a clinic to go to tonight, and then there evaluation next Monday and Tuesday. They are looking forward to playing. Clark tried out for the Jr. High team and didn't make it, It was sad but we have decided that playing for the YMCA will be better because he is guaranteed to play. So it's bye to soccer and hello to basketball.
Ryan and his soccer trophy. They ended up 4-3 for the season. We found out their last game they played was against the 2nd place team, and they won. With that it put them finishing the season in 2nd place. Way to go Rhinos!! Ryan only gave up about 5 or 6 goals as goalie(for the season). Way to go Ryan!!!
Emma and her Trophy. She did so good for it only being her second season. She is an awesome soccer player!!
I had to add this. Little Miss Aggie had her first birthday in October. When we got her from the Humane Society we were told that she had been spade. Well about a month ago she started to spot and we couldn't figure out why. We finally figured out where it was coming from and took her to the vet, like I said we thought she had been spade. Short story she hadn't and she was in heat. She had to wear the cone for a week and everything is great. Pumpkin Patch
The kids were out of school for "Weather Day" so we took off north to Clanton for the Pumpkin Patch. They were so excited, we got to go on a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin, and then they played on the inflatables (no pictures). It was fun, Memories!! 
Clark's "Crazy Hair" for Red Ribbon Week. I was hoping to get some of these posted last week, but I spent most of my time sewing Emma's and Ryan's costumes, and ran out of time. 
Carving Pumpkins
Gutting them!
Tracing the patterns and cutting them out.
Voila! The finished product.
Emma dressed her's up for her classes contest. She won for the "Prettiest Pumpkin". Congrats Emma!!
Finally Halloween Night!!!

Cinderella
a Jedi
a Nerd!
The group we went trick or treating with. The kids had a blast. When we finished with our friends neighborhood they wanted to do part of our neighborhood. We are set on candy for awhile!!
I have to toot my own horn for a minute. We had a trunk or treat, with a chili cook-off and cake contest for our ward party this last week, and I took a crock pot of chili and a cake. I wasn't expecting to win, I just wanted a cake and we can't eat it all before it goes bad. When my name was called for the winner of the chili for the "Meat Of It" (most meat) I was shocked, and then it was called for the "Best Tasting Cake Adult Category". I never win. Maybe my luck has changed. 
Okay bear with me, this is going to be a post with a lot of pictures, I have been a slacker and not posted for a while,so enjoy.
To start things off my sister and brother-in law (Heidi and Rob) came for a visit over conference weekend. I hope they had a good time. This is what the boys did, they played video games whenever they could.
While the boys played games Aunt Heidi did Emma's hair with her straight iron (that is one thing I haven't gotten yet, but I may need to).
We did go sight seeing and found a Civil War Memorial Monument. It was a cemetery that the men who fought in the war were buried after the war was over. It was kind of cool. There were actually two separate cemeteries, we were able to only go into one, due to maintenance on the other one.
We also made a stop at the Buena Vista. It is one of my favorite Antebellum (Plantation) homes left from before the Civil War era. 
We also stopped at the one cotton field I know where it is. It's a field study farm for Auburn University, that is close to the Buena Vista. I can't believe how much of the cotton has turned in one month. This time we also saw what a soybean plant looks like. (see below)
Soccer has ended for Clark. His team ended 6-1-1. They did such a great job this year. He has had a lot of fun. His coach had him playing different positions throughout the season, with forward his most played, He just keeps getting better and better with every season. 
Playing defender. I asked him why he played defense, and his reply was that "coach wanted me to stop the really tall kid on the other team". He did great at trying to stop him I hear. That day Clark, Ryan and Emma all had games at the same time, so we did our best to see some of all of theirs.
Clark and his trophy
Ryan played goalie for most of the season and two weeks ago his coach had him play a little bit of forward for some of the game. He loves to play goalie but he also like to come out and play forward. He did a great job!! He still has another game to play on Saturday, then he is done.
Emma has done a great job, this only being her 2nd time playing. She took a few seasons off to pursue dance. She is so cute out there running up and down the field. She even got to kick in a corner kick. She also will be done after Saturday.
And we can't forget about Andrew. Here is a few random pictures that we have taken.
He has found his tongue and it is so funny to watch him! 
What a cutie!
Clark is finally taller than his mother :(
