Halloween on St. Andrews

Every year on this night, I am reminded of trick or treating with the previous owners of this house. Now we have four years of memories and friends at Halloween and throughout the year.

The festivities started hosting the Halloween party for T-man's class. T-man had a costume switch as he didn't want to wear his "old lady" costume to the old folks' home during school. 

After school, D-man did his costume and carved a pumpkin. Then we headed to the neighbors for pizza before the trick or treating started. This year the men went trick or treating and I'm handing out candy - but not to many kiddos. Our group was definitely the biggest group of kids.  Still out here enjoying the weather on the porch - 65 degrees!

Unforgettable Family

Yes, another blog post, but it was such a wonderful weekend that I just want to capture it. Fall is my favorite season to be home and I'm so glad I made the trip. 

Jaima and Cam were wonderful hosts and Jaima, Jacki, and I laughed, cried and stayed up way too late on Thursday night. Such a treat to have special memories with my sisters and with Mom and Dad this weekend.

So happy to be home to celebrate Dad's 75th birthday this weekend. Unforgettable evening with my sister later night. Amazing weather. Sharing a beer with Dad before the party. Wonderful party tonight with friends. Thankful.

Pumpkin Patch Tradition

It was tight, but we got our annual pumpkin patch trip in this week. I love that D-man was insistent on getting it in - he is very tied to traditions. Even though I found out that friends were going to another pumpkin patch tonight, we stuck with this one because it is our tradition (and they have cool corn mazes which we like). It has been a gorgeous fall season and today was no different.

It's been a fun fall sport season for T-man. He has a great group of boys on his team and we enjoy the families as well. This weekend wraps up the fall sports and basketball season starts this week.

Get it? Fun time at our friend's Halloween party. Many political costumes to laugh at. 

Fleet Feet Race

While it was a battle getting out of the house this morning (fear of failure and scared of running the 2-mile distance), T-man had a tremendous run. And afterwards, he was so proud and accomplished- exactly why we insisted he go! 

A cute video the coach put together to pump up the team.

Finishing very strong!

Fall Family Fun

The LeBeavy family visited Colorado for Kristin's wedding and we were fortunate to have all day Friday with them. Jim and Marshall golfed, Michelle, Claire and I walked over to the punch hole green, and we all enjoyed some cocktails on the patio on a wonderful fall day.

Friday evening meant cheering T-man on in his flag football game and dinner in downtown Louisville.

Saturday had us road tripping to Colorado Springs for the wedding and then back to Louisville on Sunday for some tree work and playground time. It was a stunning fall weekend that was made even better by having family here.
