Mom's Birthday!

My birthday was very different this year...with moving and doctors it just didn't seem like my special day. Thanks to loved ones and friends calling to wish me a happy day and leaving messages and sending cards the evening was wonderful! Thank you for thinking of me and please know that each of you made my day :)

My little ones have been talking about my birthday all month. Adam said, "Mom you like flowers, your birthday should be a flower birthday." Thanks to a dear friend here in Arizona I received my special flower cake for my flower birthday! I am truly blessed :)

Addison's Preschool Halloween

Addison created lots of fun Halloween art this year. I think her favorite was the cat!

Getting ready for her Halloween party at preschool this morning.

Addison loves getting make-up, especially the glitter!!

Our Alice in Wonderland :)

Addison with her teacher Ms. Beth. Addison didn't wear the white tights or black shoes to school today. The students were going to be playing outside. Our finished Alice will have to wait for Saturday night!!

Halloween Baking Fun

During Sacrament on Sunday Lil Adam said that he wanted to make Halloween sugar cookies after nap time! We had a busy Sunday so cupcakes were created instead! The kids had a great time decorating them, but the most fun was had eating them!!!!

Alex was only interested in the icing!

Addison's treat of choice was the black sugar...

Scary :)

Adam went for it all, as you can see he even had the cupcake on his face!! Anyone want a kiss???

Fun at McCall's Pumpkin Patch

Our little ones had a great time at McCall's! Happy Fall Everyone :)

This is a huge inflated pillow that everyone could jump on. The kids had a great time jumping with Dad and Uncle Jon!

The Cow Ride...

McCall's was very creative with their water buckets! These water buckets became cows and they even grew heads!! They were pulled by a four wheeler. The kids had such a great time that they rode it more than once :)

McCall's Fun Slide

This was by far Alex's favorite thing to do at McCall's Pumpkin Patch! He would climb the big dirt mountain and then try to jump to the front of the line to go right down again. He couldn't figure out the concept of a line, but the people were very nice and patient with him learning!

What a great smile!

Adam doesn't put his hands up on rides very often! Must have been a good one :)

Dad being funny!!

And having fun :)

Picking Pumpkins!

Uncle Jared Berniger, Adam and Alex on the hunt for the best pumpkin in the patch!

Adam and Alex found their favorites! Adam loved this pumpkin because it was still green, which made it spooky!! He and his dad are going to carve a Wall-E pumpkin this year!! Stay tuned for pictures :)

Addison found a pumpkin just her size, which was good since we were in Albuquerque and needed to drive home the next day!

Mommy and Emily had fun search for a special pumpkin. Emily found a cute little pumpkin on a vine that she took home to nurture! Her pumpkin was about the size of a quarter :)

Jacob's dad said that last year he found the biggest pumpkin in the patch...so this year Jacob's goal was to find the smallest! He is holding his pumpkin up to his face, cute huh!
