Halloween Pictures!

We had a great Halloween. We went into Franklin to help Aunt Ruth hand out candy to trick or treaters and the kids loved it!!!

Daddy and Bekah going to the first house...


Aunt Ruth, Blake and I stayed back to answer the door for trick or treaters.


When Bekah came back from trick or treating, she couldn't wait to sit down and go through her loot! Of course, Blake had to get in on the action too. Don't worry, I didn't actually let him eat the sucker!


Before Halloween: Bekah helped carve the pumpkin by drawing the cutouts she wanted. Of course, we didn't actually USE what she drew because it would have destroyed the pumpkin...


After Halloween: Bekah hasn't gone a day since without dressing up. Here, she is the ever-famous dragon with roping gloves and pink camo thermal pants. Scary!

Legan Kid Updates

“A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.” - Forest Witcraft



Although I don't have any new pictures to post now, I thought I would send out an update that Blake started crawling on Oct. 10. It's a modified army crawl but he's really getting around great now. And he has the scuffs on his knees and elbows to prove it!! As Bekah has gotten older, we have been able to adjust the child safety devices around our house. Now they will be everywhere.

Now that he's gotten bigger, Blake and Bekah take their baths together. Bekah is still a little jealous when Blake goes for her toys but she's beginning to deal with it a lot better.

Pictures to come soon...

We leave in 7 days!




Most of you already know that Matt won a trip for 4 days/3 nights to the Crazy Horse Ranch in Montana. He won this over 2 years ago and we finally leave next Tuesday morning. I'm nervous as heck about leaving the kids but I know deep down they'll be fine. I'm so excited for our trip (obviously because I should be working instead of making this post!). We received our check to cover the taxes on the trip and our plane tickets last Friday. Expecting our luggage to come any day now, which should look like this (one for each of us!):



They have many activities arranged for us, including (but not limited to!) a cattle drive, a zip line run soaring 150 feet over a mountain creek!, fly fishing, sporting clays, off-roading in Humvees! and a Backcountry tour in a 4x4 truck with a chuckwagon lunch along the way!. Wow...

Here's a link about the trip:

Happy Anniversary!



Today Matt and I celebrate 7 yrs of wedded bliss. Can't believe its only already been 7 years!
Happy Anniversary Matt! You're the best daddy, husband ever. I love you.

Just some cute random pictures...

Blake is getting so big so fast! He rolls anywhere he wants to go, because he can spin on his belly and just keep rolling to get anywhere. Bekah is talking up a storm - she's such a little mimic. I'm glad they're getting to the age where they can almost play together. Here's some cute pictures I thought I would share:
