It was a great weekend at my little sister, Jessica’s wedding! We all had important roles to play and her wedding turned out beautiful! We are very excited for our new brother in law, Eric King. Some highlights during the ceremony were Ella tripping as she was walking up the stage, me getting to wear 5 inch hot pink high heels, and Asher stopping in the middle of the aisle and had to be lured by daddy holding a lollipop (in which he devoured the whole thing including half of the stick and we couldn’t get the stick out of his hand for pictures because he would start crying!)

Before the wedding we all got manis/pedis!

We all had tank tops that read ‘bridesmaid’ or ‘flower girl’! Of course Jessica’s

said, “Mrs. King” with a crown on it!

Classic Ella face!

I love to take pictures. I got a new camera that I love. I have certain pictures that James and the girls know mommy NEEDS to take each year. They are, (besides the obvious holiday/birthday ones), pictures in the bluebonnets and pictures in fall foliage. Now the first is way easier than the second because of where we live. I resent that sometimes. Each year, I’m on a hunt, and what usually ends up happening is I get of picture of them in dead leaves (because at least their brown.) Today though, I got some pretty good shots of the kids in my parent’s backyard of all places(I’m not saying this is ‘Boston in the fall’ type leaves but they’re decent)! I think I found my new annual fall foliage spot (I hope!) Enjoy!

This is some of my past ‘fall foliage’ (i.e. dead leaves)

a brother and his Disney princesses

Look at this lion on the PROWL!!!!

Before trick or treating each year, we have a neighborhood party with all our friends and eat chili! The most notable thing about this photo is how Rilyn is holding newborn Ivey Peck (4 weeks), and Cole Richardson is lovingly looking on as if they are married and staring at their own child! Yikes! Oh, and I guess the Suh kids don’t like group shots! 😉

trick or treat!

Malachi Suh getting the best of Asher! I foresee a rematch in the near future…

We had a BUSY Halloween!! To start off, we took a boat cruise down Town Lake (Lady Bird Lake) in Austin. The cruise was a ‘thank you’ to all the Kidstuff volunteers at our church. We got to bring our families (Asher stayed behind to nap at a friends), and it was just a relaxing afternoon! (Well, besides the pirates that visited us…)

I was hoping I could get the 3 kids to dress up as ‘a theme’ this year for Halloween, but with Asher’s costume a hand-me-down (can’t pass those up!), and the girls wanting to be the same Disney princess, the only theme I could come up with is ‘zodiac signs’?!? 🙂

Ella and I went on a field trip to Crowe’s Nest Farm with her preschool class. I predict I will be here many more times since it is the ‘go to’ field trip in the northeast Austin area, but today it was just my third time. Of course, it had to be 100 degrees with the humidity. My favorite part was taking nine preschoolers to the muggy restrooms twice in one hour. We were there for 3 hours and at least half of the time was spent corralling the kids. Whew! Ella had a good time though!

You can see it was very sunny!

Ella is in the sunglasses.

Boo for the Longhorns!

Ella and Anna were mesmerized by the pig playing in the mud. It’s like they all understood

each other. 😉

We continued our day by visiting their cousin Caden. I got some cute pics!

pumpkin personality

At the pumpkin farm this week, the girls got to decorate their own mini pumpkins. They could of stayed at this station all day but I gave them a limit when we approached the 30 minute mark. These decorated pumpkins perfectly describe my daughters’ personalities. Rilyn’s pumpkin-meticulously wrapped yarn (of every color they had) around the stem and hand-drawn rings (of every color marker they had) around the base of the stem. Ella’s pumpkin-all about the excessive. Too much glue and too much yarn. I think her pumpkin says it all and if you know her, you have probably seen her ‘mess’ of emotions, especially when she is tired!
