Fall Festivals Times THREE!!!

We partied hardy at 3 different fall festivals this weekend. WOW! And we still have Halloween night to go! (exhausted much?!!)

I’m tellin’ y’all~ this age, 6, is SUCH A FUN AGE FOR HALLOWEEN! We have had an absolute blast!

I reeeeally encouraged the kids to choose their OWN costumes this year (we have always done a group theme)…and I was pleasantly surprised that they all picked Halloween characters!

Drew- A Ghost

Ethan- Dracula

Sav- A Witch

Ben- A Skeleton

The head witch of the household…ahem…

We met our besties~ the Tarrant twins~ (dressed as Madeline! Liz is so creative) at our FIRST festival on Friday night.

In no time Mom was holding on to 4 buckets, a camera and a cell phone… (followed by a ghost costume and 8 shoes)

The cutest little skeleton that I’ve ever seen! (by the way, very difficult to find non-scary skeleton and ghost costumes, just so ya know…)

My super ninja nephew Carter!

Love that Liz! She is sporting Sav’s witch hat that Savannah ditched after 5 minutes.

Yep, Andrew proudly ran around in his sister’s tight athletic T-shirt that was 2 sizes too small while Mom held his costume… tsk, tsk

10 October 2013 136

 

 

I was determined to get a costume that he could potentially keep on for longer than 5 minutes…so, I hit the stores late Friday night…

Whallah! Now we have a werewolf! I was cracking up that I could see him smiling behind his mask! That Drew…

Saturday afternoon: Halloween Fall Festival #2.

Favorite pic of all time?… four ghouls in FULL CHARACTER, folks.

Going through these pictures, I have noticed that the majority of them are of Savannah Leigh. Her brothers wouldn’t hold still long enough for a snapshot!

10 October 2013 161

 

 

I tell ya something~ this little missy has an incredible amount of patience and determination. She stood in the cake walk circle for 30 minutes until she won some sugary treats to share!

10 October 2013 164

 

 

Again, the boys were crazy and having SO much fun bouncing around. Drew could barely contain himself long enough for this picture!

Sunday afternoon: My church’s Fall Festival!

Papa, Granna and Aunt Judy were able to come & join in the fun before Mom starts her radiation and chemo treatments in Houston next week.

JessEdWed 2013

The day of Auntie Jess and Uncle Ed’s wedding was finally here and we were SOOOOO excited! There was lots to do…especially for the little flower girl.

 

Sav did not enjoy getting her hair done…

IMG_3336

 

 

nope…not one bit!

Oh. My. Gosh. (This is one of those times that I’m reeeeally glad that I got at least one girl out of the litter, heh, heh) MANY Mommy/Daughter Dates in our future. XOXO

Melt. Me. (I did not pose her, folks. She is ALL girl, this one)

10 October 2013 024

 

 

Oh my gosh. Spoiler alert: I’m pretty sure this is going somewhere on a 2013 Christmas card. I LOOOVE it! Thank you for the pic, CT!

(A, E, S, B)

And here are the quads in action!

Steece Quads: Flower Girl & Ring Bearers from suz steece on Vimeo.

 

I was so nervous when Sav dropped the basket (worried she would be embarrassed and start crying…) NOPE. Not Sav! Picked it right back up and kept smiling. Such a tough cookie, that girl! And the boys just beamed! Andrew walked up and handed his Daddy the ring box at the end.

 

I love this pic. Ed was tearing up watching Jess walk down the aisle…and the kids couldn’t see, so they kinda formed a “victory line”. Awesome.

10 October 2013 037

 

 

Beautiful. Radiant. Bride.

10 October 2013 038

 

 

I mean, seriously… the wedding overlooked the golf course/ waterfall at The Hills in Lakeway. It was GORGEOUS! (and we were SO blessed to have beaten the rain that weekend!)

10 October 2013 039

 

 

The kids were amazed. Ethan watched in absolute awe…soaking in every word. 6 is the perfect age for flower girls and ring bearers.

10 October 2013 041

 

 

Is this not the most beautiful bride and groom you have ever seen?!!! LOVE Jess’s dress.

Dance time. Grammy and her baby.

10 October 2013 047

 

 

And MY four babies. They tore up that dance floor. Ethan is doing his signature fist pumping move (laughing outloud over here)…and Ben doing the middle splits??? Uh… ok. Lots of break-dance moves on the floor. NO idea where they get it from…

10 October 2013 044

 

 

…oh wait. Yep. 2 words: Joe. Steece. (I love Ethan---having SO much fun)

10 October 2013 054

 

Crazy Dad and kids~ gettin' down on the dance floor

Nothing melts your heart like a Daddy dancing with his daughter…

God love you, Liz. Thank you so much for helping out this weekend!!! The quad-after-party!

Meanwhile, the tunes kept flowing at the reception. I’m tellin’ ya, I sure do love that crazy curly headed man in the middle. XO

10 October 2013 063

 

 

I love Dani for grabbing my camera and snapping this pic. See? I DO have fun (not just picture snapping). Especially dancing with my man. He makes my heart smile.

10 October 2013 067

 

 

Uh oh, the groom is gettin' funky!

10 October 2013 075

 

 

A little blurry- but I love it. Jess and her absolutely crazy, insane bro-in-laws. Welcome to the fam, Jessieeeee! It is a blast and we are SO blessed to have you in it, sweet thang! XO

10 October 2013 071

 

GREAT, GRRRRRRREAT times.

Thank you so much to the Robbins and Steeces for a fantastic wedding weekend. We were beyond honored to be a part of it. Love you all.
