Halloween Pumpkins

So carving pumpkins SUCKS! Ok maybe just cleaning up after it is all over. So I decided to pull out the potato heads and let the kids stick the pieces in their pumpkins. I think they actually liked that more.



Yes Ashley actually did this too her pumpkin. She never stops, she has to keep going until all the pieces are gone.


This was my pumpkin. I thought for sure Ashley was going to do the princess but as you see from above she just wanted to use all of the extra pieces.

?????????

So I made it to Carson's School before I noticed I was wearing two completely different shoes. I just slipped them on and ran out the door. What are the chances that I could slip one foot in a Right shoe and one foot in a Left shoe?

Ashley's Birthday at the Pumpkin Patch

We had such a great time with our friends, Thank you all for coming and making Ashley's day special. We closed down the pumpkin patch. When Ashley told me during the summer time that she wanted to have her birthday at the Pumpkin Patch I was a little scared about the weather. October 28th has not been known to be too warm, but it was gorgeous.

We went on the hay ride and feed the cows. Then when we tried to leave they were chasing behind trying to get the hay.

We feed the animals and went to the petting zoo.

The final and biggest hit was the play area with the zip lines (the kids are crazy)!

Church Harvest Party.

Here are the kids before the church Halloween Party. This year finally ALL 3 kids were excited about wearing costumes. Ashley is a white fairy, Megan is a Pirate, and Carson is a MotoCross Racer.

Girls and Curlers

This brings back lots of memories of staying at Grandma Barbara's house. We used to put curlers in our hair before bed on Saturday nights. When we got up on Sunday morning for church we would have the curliest hair ever.

Ashley's First Field Trip

This is Ashley's 1st field trip. Her kindergarten class went to the Pumpkin Patch. It rained on us but the kids still had a great time. When we first got there we were greeted by the 4 farm dogs (if you can call 3 pugs "farm dogs"). We then went around and saw, pet, and feed the animals. There were rabbits, goats, llamas, cows, donkeys, chickens, and pigs(there were a lot of little pigglets as well).
We then went on a hay ride and passed cows that were all by themselves because they were getting ready to calf. We then went and helped the farmer call the cows in to feed them. There were lots of new baby calfs.
Then we went and played in the playground area. And of course Ashley with no fear found the highest places to jump from. She had a blast.

Megan's Baptism

Megan didn't want to take her picture before the baptism. She was too busy socializing with everyone there. Grandma Gaylene, David, Tina, Chris, Sheri, Gabi, Tyler, and Ryan all came down from Portland for Megans special day.

During the baptism OF Course we were waiting on the guys to change. We were listing to a beautiful song and I leaned over and told Megan "I am so proud of you" Megan replied "It's a commandment". I love how pure and innocent our children are.



It is hard to see but on the day of Megan's Baptism I remebered that she was given a hairclip when we went to the temple to be sealed as a family. So I went searching through some boxes in the attic and found the clip. Now I am just trying to figure out how I can incorporate the same clip into her wedding day (luckily I have LOTS of time).
We were talking about kissing people outside of our immediate family, and I was trying to explain to the kids they just need to give hugs. Megan corrected me and told me on her wedding day she could kiss her husband, YES.

Carson

My little boy can keep me laughing for hours. The other day in the car I said "When we get home I am going to make some grill cheese sandwiches for lunch" Carson said very seriously "No, I don't want girl cheese sandwich I want a boy cheese sandwich." This little boy is the most funniest kid I have meet (I may be biased).
