Past 2 Months

Lots has happened since I blogged last, almost 2 months ago! Sorry for the delay. I think the easiest way to touch on everything is to post pictures and explain. Hope you enjoy!
Boaz loves riding his car all over the house. For the longest time Davey or Cassia would push him around, but after Bo got his foot run over many times he learned to enjoy doing it on his own.

The weather has finally cooled off and we celebrated by having a picnic lunch enjoying the time outside.

Who knew cleaning the couches could be so fun. They took turns jumping off the lounge chair and crashing into the cushions. Even Bo took a turn jumping on the cushions.
Sweet girls getting ready for church.
At the end of August our church closed its doors. We had been praying for awhile what God's direction for the church was. We were thankful to know God's plan, but sad to see it end. After trying a handful of different churches we have found a new church home that we all enjoy. Even Elah has been doing good in the nursery.
Love that Elah wakes up with a big smile to see me!
Davey lost his first tooth!
Cassia has learned to ride her bike with no training wheels! Dave had her start on Davey's old bike since it is smaller than her purple bike. Even though she was a little scared, she did a great job and has moved up to riding her purple bike.
Near the end of October we made it out to the farm to go through the huge corn maze shaped like Texas. If you found all 12 town signs in the maze you got a free drink. After almost 2 hours of walking we had found 10 and called it quits.

Love putting pink on Elah, makes her blue eyes stand out. Hoping  they stay blue!
Elah a bee, Boaz a monkey, Abigail a ladybug, Davey a cowboy, and Cassia a butterfly.
On Halloween Davey and Cassia got to dress up for school as long as they were a book character and brought the book to school. Davey was Woody from Toy Story and Cassia was the Hungry Caterpillar when he turns into a butterfly. Well, Abby wanted to get her costume on too. So she was a ladybug all day long. When we walked to pick Davey and Cassia up from school she flapped her arms and jumped to fly all the way to school. We opted to not go trick-or-treating and had a fun night at our friends' house carving/painting pumpkins and playing in the backyard. 
Davey carved his own pumpkin all by himself.
 After almost 4 years of living in Texas we finally made it out to our first Longhorns Game! We were up as high as you could go and had a great view of the game, which we won!
After refusing anything plastic (toys, pacifier, bottle) for the first 4 months of her life Elah is starting to really enjoy her Sofie the Giraffe and pacifiers. Next up to try is the bottle!
At 4 months old Elah has learned to roll over! Her first time was for my mom when I was volunteering at the school. It took all day before I got to see her do it and then it took a couple of weeks before I got pictures. She rolls back to tummy then gets so frustrated with being on her tummy. Looking forward to when she will be able to roll tummy to back.
