Addy & Austins Birthday Bash

Our cousins Addy and Austin had a combined birthday bash while we were in Arizona visiting. It was a Halloween themed party with a ward trunk or treat following. The kids dressed up in their costumes and had a blast trick or treating around the parking lot.


Starting the party off right. Digging for eyeballs!


However the 2 youngins would rather eat the noodles.

Hauted House

At school someone had built a gingerbred hauted house, so I figured that would be a fun thing to do with Ev. I looked everywhere and finally found a kit at Wal-Mart. We had tons of fun building it, of course with dad's help. Evan didn't even eat 1 candy. He really was more interested in painting and piping the frosting. I had to learn to reliquish some control and let him do the project since it was intened for him. But I have to say it turned out pretty good for a three year old, with a little help from mom and dad :)

He would rather have a popsicle when he is done.

And telling us that he "Evan did it"

Pumpkin Patch

October was a busy Month! This is the first post of many October festivities. We headed to the local pumpkin patch where we spent lots of money enjoying the rides,a petting zoo, treats and leaving with 2 pumpkins, one of which was already rotting. (i had no idea when i bought it). Evan loved the Big Blow Up Slide and Obstacle Course. He would have gone a million times if I had enough tickets. Hannah really wanted to join him, but was to little and she was definitely upset by this. However she did love the petting zoo and kept running back to see the animals.
