We are LOVIN the cool weather and gas prices...FINALLY!

The ward had a Fall Festival on Saturday...we had lots of fun and the kids were excited to get dressed up and trunk or treat. Ben and I got some pretty funny arm sleeves that looked like tattoos and they worked great everyone was double checking to make sure they were fake, Ben wore one on each arm and I wore just one. Those and my nice new red eyelashes were the extent of our costumes but we had fun and the Primary did a great job on all the activities. There was a chili cook off, lots of games, trunk or treating, hay rides, costumes contests, and of course kids running around.



Pais and Georgia Ann are the cutest lil friends...if only you could hear how she says Paiseeee...too cute...anyway they sat on the stage and got in some girl time


Easton went on the BEST hayride ever...the girls got ditched so we couldn't tell ya if it was the best or not


Here's Ben's tattoos...pretty funny huh!?! They look so real even up close.


Our Army man and Georgia Bulldog Cheerleader


Here's some more of what we were up to this week...

We played at the park during Corey's b-day party (Corey and E are best lil buddies out here)

Pais found a nice bug muddy puddle and landed in it

But bubbles made it better!


We bowled with the Missionaries...we LOVE Elder Brunson and Jenson! We have the Elders over once a week for dinner and then they have been teaching the discussions and I don't think we could ask for better Elders ever! I love cooking for them because they are always so excited for anything and everything and are so cute with the kids and of course always leave us with a message to ponder. I think Ben is more attached to them then anyone and loves awing them with his guns and motorcycle. Elder Brunson might get transferred this coming week and if he does he will be sooooo missed by the Barbeau Family...hopefully one day he will truly understand all that he has done for us. WE LOVE YA ELDERS!


And did a lil licking and baking.


Also, Easton had a dr appt this week and I couldn't believe how much he has grown. Of course I know hes tall but the lil dude is only 1/2 and inch shy of 4 ft. That's a foot a year...hopefully he doesn't keep that trend up. Everyone assumes hes so much older and are always so shocked when they learn hes only 4...well almost 5...in fact we hes been practicing telling everyone hes 5.

CUte costumes. I like Ben's, they do look real. By the way, what are gas prices, you never said. Love the red lashes.

LOVE the tattoos! Ben should think about sporting them permanently. What's with the comments about your eyelashes? I didn't notice anything different--you looked glam as usual! The kids looked super cute. Glad to see by Puff's tummy that she hasn't been skipping lunch! Easton looks HUGE! Take caution when you surround yourself with missionaries--they only want one of two things--free food or a nonmember that will listen endlessly to them!! Love you guys!
