Halloween Fun!

Halloween was so fun this year. Aiden was so excited that he could hardly stand to to think of anything else (besides his Birthday the following day). Caleb and I were a Cowboy and Indian, while Aiden and Cruiz were Thing 1 and Thing 2. This year I was a little stressed while I was making all of our costumes. We didn't decide what we were going to be until the last minute and then I was struggling to finish everything in time for our Halloween parties. Poor Caleb didn't even get to wear his chaps that I was making because I didn't have them finished. Oh well, fun was had by all.




Caleb and I were able to go to some of our friends annual Halloween party. There were no kids and we were required to dress up. We had so much fun playing games and eating treats all night. Then we had the JRC party, where we had a yummy dinner, a donut eating contest, and a scary cupcake walk. The following week we went to the Trunk-or-Treat at the church followed by trick or treating around the neighborhoods. I love Halloween just as much as when I was little. I still get to dress up, I get to dress my kids up, and then I get to eat my kids candy.

What the???

Why does the bin keep moving?



What's under there?



Hey, it's Aiden!



Aiden loves to play with Cruiz. Cruiz can't ever seem to figure the crazy Aiden out, and why he does the funny things he does. In fact, none of us can figure Aiden's craziness out.

Innocent? I think not!

Look at that smile, can you imagine him doing any wrong?



Caught in the action.



Just testing it out!



Who could get mad at those irresistable cheeks?



My work here is done!!!

The Pumpkin Patch

The whole fam-damily

Aren't they just so sweet?



How can anyone resist such adorable boys?

The fun and exciting hay ride. (The tractor pulling us was pretty cool too!)

Doesn't he make a scary scarecrow?

We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch this year. There were so many things to do and Aiden loved it all. First we took pictures by all the pumpkins; they were everywhere. Then we enjoyed a bumpy, but fun hay ride where we were able to pick our own unique pumpkin to take home with us. Then Aiden romped around in a t-pee that was filled with corn (which we later found in Aiden's pockets and shoes). After all that fun, we inhaled the sugary goodness of cotton candy and had fun playing in the hay as well as riding down the sanitation super slide.

My Homemade Cards

Here are some of the cards I've been working on for the last few weeks. I will make one card one day, then make another one a few days later. I had all my scrapbooking stuff out on our table for about 3 weeks, and finally got around to putting it away. Poor Caleb has to deal with junk out because I have no where else to put it. I do enjoy making cards though. I love Stampin' Up!

The Topeka Zoo

When Caleb was trying to get me excited about going to Law School in Kansas, he tried to persuade me by telling me over and over again that it had an awesome zoo. I believe he thought this was a great way to sell Topeka to me, but it wasn't really working. We obviously ended up moving to Topeka anyway, so I knew I had to check out the "awesome zoo." The zoo had some cool animals and we had a lot of fun going with a big group of friends. Aiden wanted to see absolutely everything, and Cruiz was just so happy to be outside, even though he was in his stroller most of the time. We now have passes to the Topeka zoo, so if anyone wants to come visit, we can take you to the awesome Topeka zoo. And if someone tries to tell you Topeka is boring, tell them you're going to the zoo!
