Cutest Pumpkins in the Patch

We did so many fun things to help us get ready for Halloween this year. Of course we had to stop by the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins! We love this particular patch because it has Mater.

 It didn't take the kids long to figure out their perfect pumpkin.

 Tyler carried around one of his favorite pumpkins.

 Then we went through a quick corn maze. Good thing we had these two to lead us. We might have been lost if it weren't for their great navigating skills.

 And now an overload of family pictures...

 We also went on a wagon ride.

 And played on the tractors before it got too dark.

 Then a few days later we got together with Tyler's family for dinner and carving pumpkins. I forgot my camera for the actual carving, but here's our completed pumpkins...

Kayla and Daddy carved a Happy Pumpkin

 And Caden and I carved a skeleton and a "Go Utes".

We also found time to go to Gardner Village to find the witches. Of course the kids' favorite one was  "Witchy-poo"

 Here's some other witches we found along the way...

And some pictures of our kids because they're that cute...

Then it was the kids' Halloween program at their preschool. Caden got to dress up in his pirate costume. He was so nervous to go on stage and he even cried as he was walking up there. His teachers later told us his sword broke right before, so that was probably why he was so sad... poor little guy!

 His class was adorable and sang a halloweeen song for everyone.

 Then Miss Launa made her special potion

 After Caden got to go back to his classroom and have a party complete with cupcakes and lots of treats!

 Caden was still a little upset about his sword until Daddy assured him we could fix it, then he had a blast at his party.

 Caden's cute class!

 Grandma and Grandpa were so great to come and see Caden's program.

 That night for dance Makayla got to dress up for her ballet class. She dressed up as a black cat.

 On Friday it was Makayla's turn to go to her Halloween Party. Caden dressed up for the occasion.

 Makayla was so excited to wear her Anna costume.

 She was so proud to walk up on the stage.

 Her class sang a song for us, and Makayla sang the loudest of her whole class.

 After Miss Launa made the potion, Makayla got to go back to her classroom and have a party.

 She was super excited Daddy got off work for a little bit to come see her program. Daddy had to dress up for work and he was the football player Tom Brady from the New England Patriots. He even had a deflated football and broken cell phone to complete the outfit.

 Grandma and Grandpa came to Makayla's program too!

 Later that day we went to see Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Bob. They had been on vacation and just got back, so we were lucky to show them our costumes this year.

All that fun and we weren't even to Halloween yet!

13 Months

Our little Brynn turned 13 months on October 23rd. We celebrated by going to the pumpkin patch that night.

At 13 months Brynnli:
-Got her first tooth! I was starting to wonder if they were ever going to come in. All of our kids are a little late in the teeth department, but Brynnli has been the latest of the three. She hasn't really been that fussy either! And you can see the tooth right next to it is starting to come in too.
-Still a picky eater, but is getting better at trying new things.
-Sleeps great through the night (most of the time)
-Learned how to climb up and down stairs, and loves to climb up the swing set.
-Is the busiest little girl. Going places has become a challenge because she thinks she can just walk all over and go wherever she wants.
-Thinks she is the boss and likes to yell at all of us. "No," "don't" and "stop" are her most frequent used words througout the day.
-Growing her vocabulary to include: Baby and Daddy. (not to be confused with Baby Daddy)
-Blows the cutest kisses. And when she wakes up in the morning she has to give Makayla and Caden a kiss on the lips.
-Loves to wave and say "hi" and "bye" to everyone she sees. It is seriously the cutest thing ever!

HannaLand in October

We headed up to Hanna Land over Fall break. It just ended up being our family, but it was so much fun! 

I love that our kids will grow up here and make so many fun memories along the way. 

 I just love this little family of mine!

 I had a great idea to paint pumpkins while we were up there, but it turns out the small Hanna store didn't sell pumpkins, and we didn't want to drive all the way to Duchesne to get them. The kids were almost at full temper tantrum level because our plan wasn't going to work out until Daddy came to the rescue and had the great idea to paint rocks. Crisis adverted, thanks to Daddy!

Caden painted a scary house.

Let's see if you can guess what Tyler painted:  What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs that sits on the porch?

 Mat. 

Good one Tyler!

Kayla painted a pumpkin, and some other rock with a lot of colors, I painted a pumpkin and a ghost, and Tyler also painted a minion. Brynnli just made a mess. 

 We also snuggled up every night to watch a movie. Aren't they so cute!

Crazy Corn Maze with my Crazies

I must be the luckiest mom around because I got to go to the corn maze with both of my cuties this year. One of the kids' field trips is to go to the corn maze. On Thursday I went with Caden. Caden was very confused by the whole thing and couldn't figure out why we were not going to his school, and he was even more confused at why I was going with him. He kept asking me on the way, "Will we sing songs or watch movies there?"

 This is Caden's cute class.

 Once we started going through the corn maze, Caden caught on and was having a blast.

 I kept asking him which way we should go, and every time he would tell me, "according to my map, we need to go this way!"

 And with Miss Leslie and Miss Shaylee

 Overall, the Crazy Corn Maze was a success with our little guy!

Then on Friday I got to go again with Makayla. Here she is with her cute classmates and teachers.

 Selfie time!

 Kayla with Miss Shaylee

 And Miss Leslie and her classmate. I think he has a crush on Makayla because he kept waving to her and following her around.

Yea for Halloween fun!
