Halloween 2015 {May the Force be With You}

*X-wing Fighter Pilot Luke Skywalker a.k.a Caleb Rogers
*Darth Vader a.k.a Dylan Rogers
*Han Solo a.k.a Daddy
*Princess Leia a.k.a Mommy

The boys trick-or-treated for the first time door to door!  We went on the 30th to Aunt Carole, Mawmaw, and Nana and Pawpaw's houses.  
Reading cards and eating some candy at Mawmaw and Pop's house.
He's my favorite.
Surprising Nana and Pawpaw!
On Halloween, we took the boys to Fayetteville for the first football game in DW Reynolds Stadium!
Afterwards, we went to the Johnston's house and trick-or-treated with Kale and Cameron in their neighborhood.  
The boys had a BLAST!

Caleb is 4 {in his own words}

Caleb William Rogers,
             How in the world are you 4 years old?  You are joy.  You have 1000 facial expressions.  You are cuddly.  You get super angry when you get hurt.  You still love your Mommy but you are becoming more of a Daddy's boy every day.  Your love language is still most definitely touch.  We love how you like to hold our hands in the car.  You love Star Wars.  You also love to do anything nd everything that Dylan is doing.  But, you can happily play your own games by yourself.  We love that when you are sad, softly wiping your tears is the magical cure.  You are comedic and make everyone laugh.  We love how you ask, "Are you going to "hold off" to me?" and that means, "Are you going to let go?"  You are cautious.  You are a quiet learner and listener.  You can recite Psalm 23 word for word.  You still love everything that deals with construction.  You say you are going to drive equipment for Daddy one day.  You love all things We cherish each moment with you, I think because we both know that with each milestone, it's the "last" one for our little boys.  But, we sure thank God for those milestones.  We thank God for giving us YOU. 
Love, 
Daddy and Mommy

Caleb's 4th Birthday Celebration

It is really hard to believe that this sweet boy is 4 years old! He celebrated for several days! He took Star Wars cookies to school on the Thursday before his birthday. He helped me bake them and was excited! 
He wanted a Star Wars birthday party, too! However, he wanted black icing on his cake with fire around the bottom. He never wavered from this idea! 
Beau and Tessa came to the party, but Tessa would have nothing to do with the giant Storm Trooper!
He got a new dump truck and a custom made sand box from his Mom & Dad!
Aunt Janell and Mr. Uncle Larry were able to come enjoy the weekend with us and that was super special! The boys loved having them in town!

Early October at our House

All I can say is that October got me like😵 and my blogging took a serious backseat. We were super busy! Here is what the beginning of the month looked like......
Dress up days for Homecoming week....
Kindergarten Razorback Tailgating Party
Working at the Duck Farm with Daddy

Look who joined the family!

Well, we thought it would be 5-6 years before we decided to get a new puppy. Sometimes our plans don't go exactly as planned!
Meet Ben. 
He's a 3 year old British Lab.  He came home to us from Oxford, MS at Wildrose Kennels. But he was born in Northern Ireland, August 29, 2012.  He is a "finished" gun dog which basically means he is well trained and ready to hunt. Honestly, he's been an easy transition INCLUDING being in the house! He is place trained, so we move him from spot to spot. He usually does not free roam the house. He's so calm and easy going for just being three! He loves to please (especially Daddy). But he loves those boys a lot too! And my oh my do the boys love him! He rides with us to and from school almost everyday! We sure do love our Ben!
