Trunk or Treat

On Saturday night before Halloween, we went to my mom and dad's church for Trunk or Treat.

Ellison had a blast dancing to the music and passing out candy to all of the kids.

Here he is passing out the yummy candy.

My crazy brother and Amber. Their original costumes didn't work out so they

decided they would be mummies.

CHEESE!

We have been waiting until cool weather to put the basketball goal up. Ellison got this for a birthday gift. So far, Matthew has taken it over as his play toy.

Pumpkins=balls...go figure!

It has been a very long time since I have been to a Palmetto football game. We went this year to the homecoming game and tailgated. I've never tailgated at a high school game, but evidently that's a new thing now. Amber's dad brought the hotdogs and we had a great time. Ellison lasted until about 1/2 way through the 2nd quarter.

Sky Top

One Friday in September, my mom and I took Ellison to Sky Top Apple Orchard. It was one of the first cooler weekends so I thought it was a great idea. We get there and much to our surprise...it was a lot cooler. Thank goodness we found my great friend, Lindsey, there. She is much more experienced at being a mother so she was prepared and had extra jackets in her car. We were so thankful to have the jackets...even Ellison was thrilled to wear Avery's pink coat. We still had a great time, but we left the apple picking up to the New's. My mom and I just bought pre-picked apples and the YUMMY doughnuts.

After apple picking, we went to the shops in Flatrock. This cute little children's store had rabbits for the kids to look at.
Ellison thought the pumpkins were balls and decided to throw them on the ground.
Thank goodness none of them busted.

Wrapped up in Matt New's jacket. Notice no apples in our buckets.

We did get one pic at the big apple.

Ok, I noticed last week that my very old blog background suddenly disappeared. I have been trying to add a cute new fall background before winter arrives, but every time I try to apply one...it is one big failure. Does anyone out there in the blog world know what I am doing wrong? I follow the directions from the cutest blog on the block. Maybe, I am just a tired mommy and one day when I am well rested I can figure it out. I hope everyone is doing well. I'll post some pictures soon. I know this was a very boring post for those only interested in seeing Ellison pictures. Much love!

Matt Rob Came To Town

Matt Robinson was one of Matthew's roommates at Lee. He has made a special effort

to come down for a visit each year, especially since Ellison was born. We were able to take him

to a Blue Ridge High football game to see Chase play. We also went downtown to hang out.

Matt Rob brought Ellison a gift...his first pair of basketball shoes. See below...they were a little big but we will definitely use them a few years down the road.

Playing in the fountain!

Matthew doesn't really like this pic because he says it

looks like "My two dads"...I thought it was cute. Thanks Matt Rob

for coming down to SC. Bring Amy next time!!!
