We love the fall season!

OU football, Friday night lights (go Purcell Dragons), crunchy leaves, cold nights, snuggly clothes, crisp air, yummy smells, feel-good foods, and rosy cheeks and noses. What's not to love about autumn? Ah, I love this time of the year! My mom, my sister, her baby, and my brother came and visited us. They were here 10 days. We spent a lot of time showing them around Oklahoma, eating out, watching movies, playing with baby Mya, and scrapbooking. Chris skipped A LOT of school so he could hang out with Landon, my bro. They played xbox games until about 3am every morning. They are two peas in a pod. Both the youngest of their families, both chill, both are video gamers, both laugh at the same funny movies, both quote the same tv and movie lines. Funny guys. We took my fam to a Purcell High football game, because in Utah football is just like...well, a football game. Here it's life. They had fun. Coleman cried when they left. He actually reached out for them and started crying when they were pulling away. Saying goodbye is not the best part of autumn, but it does mean that another visit is in the works for this season, and we'll hopefully see them soon. I'm glad they were able to visit when Oklahoma was having a "cool" spell.

This is Mya, being the BEST baby I've ever been around. I can't believe how chill and quiet she was. Kimberly said she's always super relaxed and happy. If she makes a noise it's her cooing. She slept through the night, and I think she cried once when she was being ignored or something. See, I can't even remember. That's how good she was. What a princess.


Grandma Debbie playing kissing time with Coleman.


Uncle Landon became a quick pal with Coleman, and helped out a ton.


Setting up Crud, a pool hall game that Chris taught everyone. ADDICTING. We played forever.



The infamous 3 month old. She was cooing and laughing...so fun!


Landon trying to get much needed R&R.


Coleman's new hoodie from grandma. Just in time for the cold weather!



We did get pictures of the whole gang together, but they are on my sister's camera, so we'll post more of all the fun after I get the semi-family picture e-mailed to me.

Hey Lace, Saw your blog through Kimberly's comment! Ha Ha, good luck getting Kimberly to post pictures j/k. I guess that why she's e-mailing them to you. Your little boy is soooo cute. So is Mya, she is beautiful. I guess I could tell Kimberly that!

I love the Fall too. It is my favorite season. I can tell when fall is around the corner every year by the smell in the air. It takes me back to picking grapes, doing apple sauce and sliced apples,and carving pumplins with the Fam. My heart melts everytime I see Colemans cute little face.

Fall is the most wonderful time. Just the smell brings thoughts of football, leaves falling, and chili and cornbread. It's my very favorite season. Looks like you guys had a great time with your fam. I'm sure it was really hard to say goodbye. Poor Cole buddy. Can't wait to see you guys. Love you!

Oh Lacey! What fun... I am so glad your family was able to come and see you! It gets me a little choked up thinking about moving far away from my family - I know the time was precious to you and you got some adorable pics to capture those moments.

I know I'm not as great as fam, but if we do move, I'll miss you terribly!

Oh yes and that pic of your mom and coleman must be printed and frame. SOOO CUTE!

Whats up! I found your blog on your moms (which goes to show that i am a wee bit of a blog stalker)Your little boy is the cutest thing EVER! Could he be any more Cabbage Patch-ish? I love blogging for this exact reason- you get to keep in touch with family no matter where they are!

Debbie said...

Oh I love your blog. So cute! How exciting the fam. got to come visit. It's so hard living far apart isn't it. I love your simple things post. What a great mom you are. It's so fun when they start to get things. I added you as one of may favorites and am so excited to get to peek in on you and your cute fam.
