First Snow

Well last year I didn't play in the snow with the kids, so this year, I decided to take advantage of the first snow, and we had a snow ball fight. It was pretty tame, which was good since I'm pretty anti-snow. I will say the snow was pretty, but ask me again in February, and I'll probably tell you a different story.

The Pumpkin Patch

 The kids loved the hay ride. I opted out so I wouldn't be an allergic mess afterward.

 Pumpkin Picking time

We had so much fun at the pumpkin patch. They had a bunch of tractors for the kids to play on, a little corn maze and hay ride. The kids also found their perfect pumpkin. Thanks Grandma!

Witches- Part II

 Griff's witch impersonation.

 This time Lily braved the Mummy.

 We tried to get her to do a kissy face like the witch, but she wasn't having it.

See, I told you I liked the witches. We wanted to go with Grandma Baldwin and we wanted to take a ride to see the witches, but we missed them again. Luckily we were able to take a hay ride at our next stop: The Pumpkin Patch.

Preschool Halloween Party

The kids making their craft at their preschool party. They also sang the cutest songs. Maybe I'll figure out how to post a video on here soon.

Ward Trunk-or-treat

 Our little Bumblebee Transformer

Cute lil' devil 

 Precious "Charm School Barbie"

Let the festivities begin. We had a very fun, busy Halloween season. First off was our ward Trunk-or-treat/Halloween party. They did an awesome job with a cool spook alley and super cute decorations in the gym.

Fall Ball

Jake was able to play on a fall softball league with his Dad and brothers. I was only able to make it to a couple of games since it's far and they had a lot of late games. I brought my camera to take pics, but this is what I came home with. Sorry Jake, but Sam's pretty cute. :) I think Jake had fun though.

Witches- Gardner Village 2011

 She was so brave to stand by the scary monster.

 Kids and I, Gma, Sarah and her kids

Griff playing with his souvenir a la gma.

One of my favorite activities every year. We usually have great weather, this year was no exception. It's so fun and peaceful walking around. We did a scavenger hunt to find all of the different witches. Happy Halloween!

Preschool class pictures

Here's the kids' preschool class. They love Miss Julie. (She's on the right) "Gma" plays with them too sometimes so she got to be in the picture. It's fun hearing all the stories they come home with. There are many stories of Lily telling on Griff, but they are doing really well. Lily went to one of the girl's in her class birthday party. She had so much fun.

Griff's 5 year old pictures

I can't believe how old Griff looks in these pictures. It was actually quite a pleasant experience as well. (Getting the pictures taken I mean.) His only thing to work through is not being afraid of the flash. We had to have him close his eyes until right before so he wouldn't squint so much. He's a keeper.
