Here are some pics of Devon and his friends. Stephenie went with his class to a local pumpkin patch.
Devon was Bumblebee (Transformers), Tyson was Spiderman, and Kylie was a cute plump Duck. We had Pizza with all our neighborhood friends and then it was a mad dash from house to house for about 30 minutes before heading over to the trunk-or-treat at the church. I love seeing kids so excited about getting candy (It always reminds us of Seinfeld's stand-up routine about Halloween; "get candy, get candy, get candy" :) 
Kylie continues to captivate us with her sweet looks, funny personality, and her new noises.
Devon scored his first goal of the season on Saturday! He took the ball down the field and then had a great kick from about 10 feet out. It was very exciting. Tyson loves to get dressed up in all his soccer gear and kick the ball around with us during Devon's games & practices. He is doing really well and is already looking forward to his first season next year.
We were so happy to hear that Plano has a Balloon Festival every year. Reno has awesome Balloon Races every year that we have always loved! We went with the Hess' and arrived around 6:30am with blankets, hot chocolate and donuts! Things got started a little late so we didn't get to see the cool glow when firing up the hot air balloons in the dark, but it was still lots of fun. After watching all of the balloons take off, Devon and Tyson got to go on this cool bungee jumping ride. Even though this was really neat, we still love Reno's Balloon Races better and will have to make an effort to get back there every other year or so to go see those.
Doesn't Kylie look so cute in her new clothes! My sister Allison sent us a bunch of her girl's clothes for Kylie and we are loving them!! She also sent us lots of clothes for the boys and they are loving them too.. they argue every morning and every night who get's to wear what from Carter's old clothes. Thank you SO much Allison! We love you!!
About 1 month ago Jared was trying to learn how to do handstands. He was watching a few youtube videos on how to do it. Stephenie immediately showed me up by doing a perfect headstand on her first try. The kids decided that they wanted to learn too. We watched a couple how-to videos and they figured it out pretty quickly. Now it feels like Devon is upside down more than he is right-side-up.
Kylie is 11 months old now. She has started army crawling around, allowing for a little more exploration which she loves. She is really happy and loves her brothers.
Devon is back at it again this year. His team name is the bears and he let his first opponents (The Comets) know it multiple times by growling at them on the field and explaining that a bear could maul a comet. He is doing great this year and a good friend from the ward is on the team. Go Devon!
