Jeff and I hosted Thanksgiving at our house for some of Jeff's Family. We missed Anne and Michael (in PNG) and Lacey and Whit (in Ozona) but we loved having Great Grandpa Jess, Granny Lou, and Karen's Crew. Here's Grant in his Turkey Shirt.
Reed was ready for some Turkey!!!
I'm so proud of my bird!! 
Jeff making himself useful (I kid I kid)
It was a delicious meal.

We got the boys' school picture back. Way cute....
Happy Birthday to Alexa. I went to see Kris at the beginning of November for her birthday and Alexa's birthday. 
We went out to eat at Alexa's pick of TGI Fridays!!
Kristen and I enjoyed the fine food. 
The birthday girl.....
The next day Kris and I went into the city and did some sight seeing. 
There are lots of cheap places to buy very fashionable things. This is my impersonation of Lady Gaga.
Behind us to the left is the Golden Gate bridge. Very cool. 
I had no idea the BART system was so extensive. Very very neat. We rode "the BART" one exit to get some See's candy. 
That night Dad and Emmy came into town for K's birthday and we went to a nice dinner out. 
Did I mention they do wonderful things with chocolate in this town?? So delish.....
Right after I got back Katrina came to see us. She brought the boys these really cool mustaches. (Grant) 
Reed looking cool....
Katrina had been to Disney world with her mom and brought the boys some fun Disney stuff.
These lasted for like 4 days.
Both boys and their mustaches. I like Grant's eyebrow. 
I'm such a bad BLOGGER!! I went to look at pictures from Christmas and saw that I hadn't blogged about Halloween or Thanksgiving!! Here are a few pics from Halloween and the days leading up to it. This is Grant in his fireman costume. 
Ms. Kona Bear decided she wanted to be a postal worker. Good choice because she looks stunning in blue. :) 
Mr. Archie decided to be a banana split on account of he likes banana splits. :) 
The boys went to parents night out (PNO) at the boys school for the first time in Oct. You pay $15 for the first kid and $10 for each additional kid. You can drop them off at 6 and pick up at 11. They bring a nap mat and put the kids to sleep. Way Cool!! We loved it. 
The boys had fun trick or treating in their costumes. 
At the local pumpkin patch with our friend Helena

Fall has been super busy around the Beck House!! First up in September we had Lauren and Ashlyn's 3rd birthday party!! 
It was at their lake house on Conroe and Dora paid a special visit!

Jeff and I went out to celebrate the birthdays of these two lovely ladies. Happy birthday to Dawn and Melissa.

So tough
We all celebrated with a lunch for ribs (including the dogs)
Some friends and I decided to run the Komen race for the cure!
The same day we drove up to the lake to celebrate Ian's 1st birthday!!

All the dogs had to take a turn being "party animals" (Archie)

The next weekend we went up to do some serious lake time. We took all the dogs out with us. :)
Ready to go on the boat!
We missed you Grangie and G-Pa.
The lake is so low we have a huge beach to walk around at the island. So nice.
Lacey and I took Ian to the pumpkin patch at John Wesley. :)

The boys studied letter "X" at school for a week. It ended with a pirate treasure hunt. The boys were great pirates. I made their costumes. :)
We also went to the pumpkin festival at the local shopping center. The boys got pirate face paint.
They had a blast with thier friends.
Fun times at the lake! We love fall!!
Baby boy Ian!! He's getting so big!
