Halloween Fun

Sunday we had a Halloween party for all the kids in our family. We even made all the adults dress up too. It was a ton of fun. We carved pumpkins, ate tons of food, and watch the bears lose :( I was very impressed with the costumes. My sister came as a pumpkin, My dad was a king, Kristin and Mauricio were Indians, Aunt Mary and Uncle jack were Hippies, April and Ruther were patriots fans (BOO!), Isaiah and Noah were both spider man and they had so much fun together. Aidan was a dragon, Gabriel was a lion, Kylie was a butterfly, I was a football player and Michael was a cheerleader (skirt, panty hose, wig, make-up and all).

Apples!

I love fall! It is my favorite time of year. It isn't too cold yet, so there is lots to do and the trees look beautiful. One of my favorite things to do is go apple picking. I love to go to the orchard and pick our own apples and then come home to make many apple things. This year we went on my mom's birthday and she joined us. It was a lot of fun. Since we went so late in the season, all the good apples were up high in the trees, so we had to do some climbing. Kylie's favorite part... eating the apples while we picked them.

Pumpkins!

While Michael's sister was in town, we found a couple hours to escape and head to the pumpkin patch. Kylie had a lot of fun tottering around the farm, playing with the hay on the ride out to the pumpkins and crawling all over the pumpkins. We were glad that Auntie Suz could be there to share that with Kylie. Not only was it a good time but the weather was beautiful... 85 degrees and sunny. Not your typical fall pumpkin picking day, but we all enjoyed it.

Kylie's Best Friend

Shea

loves Kylie just about as much as she loves him. He will let her

do absolutely anything to him. She can pull his hair, grab his ears, crawl over him, take his toys away, and even stick her hand in his mouth and he just takes it. He loves to lick her all over, which makes her laugh. They are so cute together!
