Happy Halloween!!!

I LOVE Halloween and we had a great time this year!

We went to my mom's trunk-or-treat a few days before Halloween. There was dinner and a magician that performed and of course the trunk-or-treating.

I am not the most crafty person, but I have to brag a little about Kaley's costume. The tutu and the matching hat were easy and fun to make and I think they turned out really cute. :-)

We took Kaley to the mall to trick-or-treat again this year. It was VERY crowded which made it a little stressful and not very much fun so we went home and took her around the neighborhood which she loved! She didn't want to stop!

She's trying to be a good sport.

Tyler was just enjoying the ride.

Kaley found this and put it on before she went to bed. It was pretty funny.

Burger anyone?

Carving Pumpkins!

Carving Pumpkins was fun this year. It was a little challenging with two tired little kids so we did it over two nights. Kaley really liked coloring on her pumpkin and also liked using the pumpkin carving knife. :-)

Hard at work with her pumpkin. She loves to color. She is quite the little artist.

"Yes!!!"

We were a little nervous about her using the pumpkin carving knife, but it wasn't too sharp and she didn't lose any fingers. :-)

This was the end of day one. Tyler had had enough of pumpkin carving for one night.

(Richard brought this hat down from upstairs and stuck it on his head. It was pretty cute.)

The next day was more successful and the kids weren't quite as tired.

The pumpkins turned out great!

Kaley loves to "jump" (as she says) when she goes upstairs to play with her cousins. It is something that keeps them occupied for a long time. They will put some of the pillows from the couch onto the floor and, well, the rest speaks for itself. Richard caught her in action and I thought they were great pictures.

A couple of days ago they were jumping and Kaley saw her cousin Aiden go backwards. Then all of a sudden we saw this...

Lately Kaley seems to have no fear when it comes to trying new things. I haven't figured out if it's a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe it's both. Only time will tell I guess. :-) But for now, I'm glad she is not too timid and is having fun.

We went to Hee Haw's today. I have wanted to go do something like this for a while and it was so much fun! I think the pumpkin patch experience is something that we should make a yearly activity. :-) There was so much to do. Kaley loved every minute of it!

Being measured! Despite the look of terror on Kaley's face every time she went down, this was her absolute favorite thing to do while we were there. She probably would have been happy if this was the only activity.There was a hay ride...
and a small petting zoo. She wasn't so sure about petting the animals. This cow and a horse were the only animals she would really touch and it was a split second pat.
She also really liked the little train that they had.
Tyler was a really good boy through the whole thing. He likes being outside so he had fun too.

More Summer Fun!

We have finally decided to join the world of blogging. We hope you enjoy. Here are some highlights of the last few months...

One of Tyler's first smiles caught on camera! Our future All Star!!!
We blessed Tyler on September 14, 2008.

Richard got a chance to drive a Porsche and an Aston Martin.

Here is a picture of the Porsche that Richard drove.

(Richard didn't get picture with the Aston, but he did drive it. This is his brother.) Tyler is one month old!

Kaley's first trip to Hogle Zoo. We had a blast!!!
