Halloween 2010

We couldn't quite squeeze him in...

 Faylen loved the gooey mess

 Jed loved watching the excitement of carving pumpkins

 Daddy's got real talent. Last year it was Bob and Larry, this year......Buzz!

 It's tradition to light up the pumpkins and keep them in our room all night as night lights for a few days

 Us in our bunkbeds, happy to have our cool night lights

 Blair's yummy treats

 ready for  trick or treating with our community group!

 My buddy Noah and I

 Trick or treat...

 smell my feet...

 give me something good to eat...

 and more to eat.....until i get sick!

Last year I was the little elephant with the ghetto booty, this year Faylen, with her slightly uncoordinated walk, got to sport the the costume. COMICAL!

You gotta watch the waddle:

Pumpkin Patch 2010

We went to the same really great pumpkin patch again this year! A friend of ours has family that owns it, so we got the major hook ups! Free pony rides, carousel rides, hay rides, all you can eat snow cones....you name it. It was so fun!

 Grandma Jill and Cousin Sophie

 Auntie Shosh and baby Jed

 Grandma Susan and me

 My favorite  cowboy boots on the planet. Did you know I am a true cowboy????

 Sissy loves to be a cowgirl!

 On the beautiful hayride

 On the train

 The winning pumpkin! And the cousins slurping up our snow cones :)

 Sophie loved the bunnies

 So did faylen

 Isn't that too precious! She's got the touch with animals....like daddy. :)

 So our camera ran out of battery and we had to use the phone for these pics that when downloaded came out sideways! crazy.....sorry! couldn't figure out how to fix it.

Weekend at the Lakehouse

Some of our new friensds were so gracious to invite us to their lakehouse at Lake Nacimiento for the weekend. Thank you Steiner family! For the record, this was the first family vacation that mom and dad have gone on (since having kids) that they weren't visiting extended family or camping!

They need to get out more!

Daddy got to drive the boat

"playing cards" was a hit!

 Mr. John Paul wrote a silly song about the weekend

 Three babies under 3.5 months and a total of 9 kids kindergarten and under! Wow!
