Halloween 2014

The houses in our new neighborhood are so spaced out and it is full of older people so we decided to carry on with our usual plans and trick-or-treat in our old neighborhood with the Strehlows. We had a great (and COLD) time trick-or-treating. Made me miss our old crib a little. 

Woody and Jessie had a GREAT time.

Pumpkin Carving Party

 Our cousin, Sydney was in town so we decided to have everyone over for some chili and pumpkin carving. This was our first year to do this but it might just become a tradition.
Olivia's pumpkin had dolphins carved into it and Wil Franklin's was a ninja turtle.
A fun time was had by all.

Introducing...

Our best friends, Jay and Rebecca, had a baby girl last week!

We could not be any more thrilled for them. We can't wait to watch her grow.

Campbell Claire Baker

Born on 11-12-14

weighing 7lb 13oz and 20.5"long

She is perfect in every way!

The Fury Baby

Olivia has been calling Lilly her "best friend." Not real sure if the feeling is mutual. 

They sleep together, play together, lay together, watch tv together and they are both "puppies" together. Sometimes a fury friend really is a best friend. 

Pumpkin Patch Fun

We have made it an annual tradition to make the drive to Mitchell Farms pumpkin patch. It is seriously a highlight for the kids. We have made some memories that we will cherish forever at that place. Heck, we may purchase a "jump pillow" for our backyard because they have so much fun!

Friday Nights

Friday nights at the Collins' household are just so crazy. Ha! 

But really, we have been loving our new yard. We had our very first camp fire in our very own backyard a few weeks ago. We roasted hot dogs, same some songs and enjoyed God's creation.

And the kids had a BLAST. 

It was the first, but I'm sure it won't be the last.

This kid...

...we can't take him anywhere.
