Hillcrest Orchards

Hillcrest Orchards is one of our favorite fall trips that we started last year and will continue for years to come!!! The usual crew went, Kim, Carly, Arieal (one of Carly's friends) Reed, Will, Maddie, Braxton, and of course me! We had so much fun!!

This year Brax was much more active in the petting zoo as you can see in the pictures!! He loved the goats and the chickens and even the baby calf. Brax was amazed at the baby chicks. I had to be very careful with him and these chicks cause Lord knows I didn't want a sudden death to take place!! Yikes!!!

We went on a wagon ride, walked the orchard, slid down the huge slide, played on the playgrounds, and spent most of our time chasing the animals around. Not to mention we had the excellent snacks at the end of the afternoon, out of this world doughnuts, caramel apples & apple cider, yummm!!!

I really enjoyed watching Brax interact with all the animals. It's cool to see how he wants to feed them and pet them and even pick them up!! What a kid!! At one point Brax said "look Mommy, the goat is eating your shoe" and what do you know, the goat had my shoestring in his mouth and talking about nasty. The shoestring was gross when I finally got it out of the goats mouth!!! All of the kids really enjoyed themselves and were very well behaved which makes for an even better trip!

Last year it was Maddie who chased the chickens around trying to take them home with her, while she still tried this year Brax was more on the hunt this time!! He chased that mama chicken around trying to get it for a long time. This was quite entertaining!!! At first he was a little adamant about it but before I knew it the chicken was in tow and that's all she wrote!!!

Maddie was checking out the goat who was just chilling on the porch, it amazes me how tame these animals are.

Here chicky chicky, I am coming for you..... I got you!!!!

Aunt Kim was being mauled by a goat, these goats sure know what food is and boy they will do their best to get every last piece of it without sharing with any of their other goat friends.

Now here is a serious conversation taking place while sitting on the tire seats. Lord only knows what was really going on their heads!!!

Braxton's School Halloween Party

Braxton's school, Creekside Christian Academy hosts an annual Halloween parade that is just adorable. Every child is encouraged to dress up & each class parades around the church in front of all the proud parents, even the babies which were too sweet!! They were rolled out in a crib and they were standing holding onto the sides, Priceless!!!

The parade ends with each class having their picture

made with Lion Cub the school Mascot!!

Brax & his buddies along with Mrs. Robbie

strutting their stuff for the parents.

How cute is Buzz??

Ketchup = Mrs. Sherrie which is one of our favorite people at the school, maybe in the world!

She teaches the 4 year old class and heads up the carpool line!!

We love love love her!!!!

She really is one of the nicest, most caring, & loving person we've ever met!

Trick-er-Treat!!

Trick-er-treating went exceptionally well!!!

Everyone who went had a great time and going as a big group made it a great experience!

Here you see you Brax getting candy from a witch and he wasn't even scared!

What a big boy!

Miss Ella and Brax, they were classmates last year

Too Cute!!!

Trick-er-treat Papa!!

Papa gave out candy at our house while we

took B around the neighborhood. Our house was the last stop!!

I bet Papa gave Buzz a HUGE handful of candy!!

Here's part of our entourage

Mason, a neighborhood friend is handing out candy

when we got to his house.

Brax & Briley thought he was so cool for doing this!

Ella, Braxton, Mason & Luke had to stop & see what

was in their buckets!!!!

Halloween proved to be much fun and very festive for our family. I as well Jer & Brax had a wonderful time with all of our friends. I think this may have been the beginning of a Glaze tradition as Braxton is already talking about his next Halloween party!!!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the fun,

you all made it special!!!

Braxton's Halloween Party!!!

This year we decided to go all out and give Brax a Halloween party. It was fantastic!! We invited the neighborhood & small group friends. Everyone had a great time hanging out and watching the kids play together dressed up in their costumes, it was fabulous!!!

Here is half of the group that attended, we had the big lens on the camera so we could not fit everyone into one pic. There was approximately 35 people here, WOW!!!

Braxton tackled Hayes in the Jumpy house. Hayes was not sure what to think!!!

Pumpkins, pumpkins, & more pumpkins

So tis the season of pumpkins!!!! It is officially here and we have kicked it off with lots of excitement. Nanny & Papa took Lane and Braxton to Burt's Pumpkin Farm and I really do not know who had more fun, the boys or Nanny & Papa?!?! Brax was so excited about his pumpkin that he got to buy, well I am not sure if it was the pumpkin or coke he had for a mid morning snack that papa gave him and sent Jer & I a picture of at 11:15 Satuday morning.. Well all we could say was "that's just what grandparents do!!!"

Reed and Brax looking at the finished product, Brax had never seen a lit pumpkin. This was our first annual pumpkin carving day! When I lit the pumpkin Brax ran from the sidewalk assumed the postion you see and said WOW!!! This was priceless.

Jer took on the task of carving and as you can see he did a great job!!!

So we decided to have Reed & Will spend the night with us so they could take part in the pumpkin carving festivites. All the boys loved it. Every minute of it, from picking the perfect one in the pumpkin patch to taking the pumpkin's guts out( well not so much everyone in this part Will & I had to do this, imagine that!!! Three other boys said "eeewww, gross I am not sticking my hand it that" I just had to laugh so I had to do the majority of this part!!! To funny!!!!

Brax was telling Daddy where to cut the top, he meant business as you can see the finger pointing to a specific spot. I think I even heard him say "Daddy, right there!!!" Brax is quite the direction giver and I have no idea where he gets it from!!!

Cheese Please!!!!

Three handsome boys who did a great job getting the perfect pumpkin!!!
