catching up....having computer/pic/video problems. Halloween - Thanksgiving/Davis's bday

I'm having a horrible time uploading pictures and videos.  SO FRUSTRATING.  I am missing so many, but I am going to post these for now.

Archie was supposed to be an adorable monster, but once he saw his brothers wearing capes and bowties, he demanded that he do the same.  It's a good thing that I had a third set!  ha

Archie was playing peekaboo with Papa via FaceTime.  It was so sweet!

Davis went to Vander's 4th bday party and jumped his little heart out at Jumpy Jump Land. 

Cal's bball practice was so hilarious one night.  They played shirts vs.  skins....all the boys wanted to be skins.  haha

Davis gave me the most ultimate #boymom gift of all for my birthday.....he found a snake!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arch got a bath before we went out to dinner that night.  Idk why there's a play button in the middle.  😐

We ate dinner at Tallgrass CC.  It was delicious and the boys were so well behaved.  Cal was so funny and demanded that he could get chicken wings.  He is seriously a teenager in a 6 year old's body. 

Again....with the play button.  :(   Arch likes to rub his blankie on his eyelashes and face.  His paci is basically his bff, but I'm not in a rush to get rid of it because he's teething and I need SOMETHING to plug his poor cries when he is miserable.  ha

Mom came to Davis and Archie's music program in November.  It was an adorable program!  Archie looked like he wanted to jump off the stage and run to me, but he remained....stoic face and all.  :)  Davis was adorably animated and followed all the hand motions while singing. 

We went to the KSU game on Nov. 11th and it was the perfect fall weather.  Sweatshirts and jeans for everybody!

Archie was eating and it reminded me of the SNL sketch Peepers. 

I emptied my purse out one day at work and was astonished/embarrassed by how much junk I had in it.  I titled this picture, "Is this too much stuff to hold in a handbag?  Asking for a friend....."

My folks came to Cal's program.  It was a great musical performance and Kinder sang adorable songs!

Over Thanksgiving, Tony and Misha flew in and we were all SO excited to see them! 

Aunt Susie, Tessa, and Eric drove to Larned for Thanksgiving.  It was an amazing day spent with family....good food, plentiful drinks, buckets of laughs.  SO FUN.

Before we drove back to Wichita, we went up to say goodbye to Grandma. 

Eric's face....ha!!!!!!!!  They were cackling because Archie was patting my chest and yelling, "Boobies!".  ha

Ollie was exhausted and ready to get back home!  ha  

I thought this sign was hilarious....fits me perfectly.  Sorry, I cuss a little....ha. 

This fall has been unseasonably warm yet again.  The boys were helping me rake leaves.  :)

The next day, we met everyone in Manhattan for the KSU game.  BEAUTIFUL weather yet again!

We celebrated Davis's birthday at the tailgate.  Cupcakes and Batman/Superhero everything!

"Where's Archie?!?"  ha

We woke up on Sunday and celebrated this big boy.  Our comical, sweet natured 4 year old brings us so much joy!

I took them for a birthday swim before we left the hotel!

Mom came up to stand in for Mitch.  He had a work meeting that popped up and couldn't attend Dad's Day at St. Thomas.  Cal was sad, but excited to have his Mimi step in!

Mom took Cal back to Larned for two nights since I had to work and he didn't have school.  They stopped on the way to get a picture by some cotton that had recently been baled.

Mom sent me this picture of her when she worked at Kites in college.  I guess I see a resemblance of some sort.  :)

Grandpa Stanley Young....always wore a hat and an ornery grin.  :)

Grandpa Thoran Gatterman in WWII.....

He wanted to be a pilot, but he couldn't cross his eyes (a requirement for the program), so they let him work on the radio systems instead of flying.
