Avery climbing up the mountain. King of the mountain. Swinging Viv. Up so high.

Our first sleep over with Jake. I will cook for this kid anytime! The only bite Avery ate. Back to playing.

Urban ballerina.

Swim class 3.0 - now featuring goggles.

Practicing her letters. One of the many reasons I love Nikki. Making doll beds. Doll beds in a doll bed.

She had spilled something in the car and needed her wet clothes removed promptly. Into the elevator. In the elevator.

Love the light.

He can't help himself. He read the entire Mario Cart instruction manual in attempts to beat Daddy. Sweet boy. Homemade arcade games. Where all natural born Turbows do their reading (those by marriage prefer the bath). Ceiling fan.

Rapunzel and Fancy Nancy getting ready

Silly girls

Avery was supposed to be a baker to go with Viv's cupcake costume, but in the end, I could only get him into his jammies

Maybe one day Avery will be as tall as Cousin Jeff

Manwich

Fear not, the baker costumes did not go to waste

The kids had just as much fun handing out candy than trick-or-treating

This is just the sweetest picture

This one too.

anderson farms

Since Avery wanted a gymnastics party, we had to visit Anderson Farms on non-birthday related business.

Reuben opted out of this picture.

Seriously. I charge people to take their pictures and I cannot get 5 kids to look my way. What a scam!

Thanks Avery and Annabelle!

My lovies

She's getting a little braver (I use that term very loosely)

Off she goes

I gotta go potty! (LOVE this pic of Mady)

Taking Sister through the maze

Huge man

Viv and Stacy playing

Oh, this could have been such a great shot save for the weird look on Avery's face

Not bad for a city slicker

Ropin' steer is a team effort

Down Mady goes

A week later, Scott asks me, why do I keep finding corn in the laundry? Viv had put several kernels in her pocket.

Off to the pumpkin patch

Riding on the tractor...there's Reuben!

Looking for the perfect pumpkin. We live in an ugly state.

Mady found hers!

I love these girls.

That pumpkin is still on my buffet

"It's little, like me."

It's the best I could do with both of them

Dirty boots

Chatting with Annabelle

He is so into his friends these days

Look! Look! Natural smiles!

A few more.

The moon was with us the whole way

Giant corn to end the adventures

I know there are a lot of pics, but I figured if I spent the time editing them (please excuse the wildly vacillating styles), they should end up on the blog. We had a phenomenal time at Anderson Farms, and this year I didn't have to pay for everyone to get in :)
