Mommy is going to make this short and sweet. A lot has happened lately. Grandpa Steve was in town for a visit. Halloween happened. A combine ride occurred. There is more but you will just have to check out the pictures for details.

Jacer sweeping up the corn during his combine excursion with Nate and Daddy.



The combine he rode on.



Jace and Lexa's neighbor Brian is one of their all-time favorite people. You can see why...loads and loads of Halloween candy and goodies all from him!



Spiderman and a sack of potatoes.



The story on this one is...this house is known for giving trick-or-treaters a good scare. It is also known for giving out full-sized candy bars. It lived up to it's reputation giving the kids a good scream and Mommy lots 'o chocolate!



Mommy came home one night to find it was 'Daddy and Lexa's spa night'. Hot pink was the color of choice for the pedicure.



Jace made Halloween cookie pops for his class. Apparently they were good.



Lexa getting some candy at the mall. She caught on quickly!



Oh kids these days. Always texting or on facebook.



Displaying his spooky supper on Halloween night.



Posing with Grandpa Steve.



His spider sense was tingling....he needed candy.



Halloween 2011.



Eating some of her loot.



Jacer putting the finishing touches on his cookie pops.



3 generations....coloring.



That's all folks!!

Pictures on hold.

The pictures from Halloween and Grandpa Steve's visit are on hold. Mommy is sincerely trying to stop using her work computer for pictures. The problem is she has no clue how to do anything on her new laptop! She is almost certain it is a problem with the machine...and not the user. Be patient blog readers. Mommy will prevail and pictures will be seen.......

Sneak Peak of our Spooky Day........

Stay tuned. Mommy will most likely come out of her sugar coma in 24-36 hours. She will fill you in on Halloween then.

Cousins!!

Jace and Lexa were so happy to spend time with their cousins from Denver this weekend! Cousin Jami was married on Saturday so it was a fun filled weekend of family, wrestling, and candy.

The pictures say it all......

All the cousins!



Just the boys. Primarily because the girl refused.



Aunt Alisa saved the day....a sucker for the ceremony. Kept Bean still and quiet.



Shots. Enough said.



Lexa and Grandma Rosie. Perhaps discussing why Lexa insisted on putting Braylon's paci in her mouth. Silly girl.



Lexa and Braylon. Trust Mommy when she says it was not Lexa's choice to stand this far apart. The girl couldn't get enough of him.



Mommy and the kiddos consuming some yummy grub.



Daddy and Lexa sharing a smooch.



The beautiful bride and her Daddy.



Alisa and Papa cutting a rug.



The last two are not from this weekend but Mommy had to share.

Typical. Trying to get a picture of Jace and Lexa with their pumpkins and...well you can see the results.



Somewhat better......



On that note...The end!

Mommy takes over.

Although it is called 'Jace and Lexa's Place', Mommy is taking over this post. It will be all about her weekend adventure...with a few pictures of Lexa she had left on her camera from last week.

Daddy was a super fellow and kept Jacer and Lexa all weekend so Mommy could go to Grandma and Grandpa's child-free. That Daddy sure is special.

Mommy, Grandma, Aunt Erin, and the rest of the Aunts and Cousins went on a wine tasting excursion around the area. It ended up being so much fun and ended with a chili-dump and bonfire at the Petersen Plantation.

Check out the fun!


The whole crew outside the van. A special thanks to Tracy for being such a great DD!



Erin and Grandma being so silly.



A step-stool for the vertically challenged members of the family.



Winery #2. Erin...where are you?



Winery #3.



Mommy and Keegan. This is actually before the event. Keegan forgot his ID and had to stay behind.



Kay and Keegan at the chili dump.



Grandma requested this be how her pictures were taken. With her hat over her face. Oh Grandma!



Fabulous Aunt Kay drinking some Black Cherry Wine.



Chocolate Cake Shots!! Ok, there was a slight detour from the original plan...it included eating at a bar and chocolate cake shots.



The last pictures are just some of Lexa that Mommy found too cute not to share!





And last but definitely not least....a future wine taster!



Thanks again to Daddy and to Tina for making it possible for Mommy to have her sans kids weekend!!

Fall Fun!

Jace and Lexa have been enjoying all the fall activities that come with this time of year. They have visited the pumpkin patch, played in the leaves, and colored their own pumpkins. Mommy has had her camera ready at each event just for you, the loyal blog readers. Your welcome.

Ready for school! Ok, this picture actually has nothing to do with fall but aren't they cute?



Watching Spiderman on Daddy's phone. He is a bit addicted. This is why Mommy's phone does not do this...at least as far as Jace knows.



So close to a perfect pony!



Playing in the leaves!



The rule is: You can only pick one that you can carry. Seeing as this one is as big as Lexa, Mommy is thinking it's a no.



Cool Chic. Just ask her.



Lexa in the corn pool.



Jace's most daring move. EVER. Quiet....Mommy was proud!



Jacer.



Jace the Cow. In a grass skirt.



Peter Parker a.k.a. Spiderman in the leaves.



Doesn't that look yummy?? Mommy was just getting ready to steal a bite when...he dropped it. Mommy is not fabricating this time. It was truly devastating. Luckily there were apple donuts to fill the void.



Jace and Lexa met up with their buddy Mikey (Mommy's friend Karla's little guy)at the pumpkin patch. This would be Mikey and Lexa attempting to feed the chickens.



And in conclusion...the big finale...Decorating their pumpkins!!
