A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Victoria is in her second year of pre-school and loving every minute of it. Last month, her class took a trip to the pumpkin patch. Luke gets to go on these trips with Victoria. He has fun too because he wishes he could go to school too (boy just needs to be potty trained, but that is another long ordeal that I am working on). Anyways, here is a picture of Luke and Victoria posing in front of the Halloween display.

Here they are in front of the little garden.

Victoria in the moon.

Luke in a pumpkin.

Luke decorated his mini pumpkin and is very proud of it.



Victoria finished her pumpkin and it was supposed to be scary. I thought it was cute.

Well, that was our pumpkin patch adventure. Will post again soon. Have a fab day!!

Halloween

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween. We sure did.
It gets better every year with the kids. The older they get, the more fun it is for all of us.

Taylor was a Pretty Kitty.

Lukie was a Pirate.

Victoria was Princess Snow White.

This is our happy family. I was a huge pumpkin (thus the orange shirt). We are
scheduled to have our son on the 16th, but I have been having major
contractions lately and will probably have him sooner.

Hope to see pics of your kiddies soon. Halloween is super fun. I just have to get the
Halloween monster to gobble up the rest of the candy so that the kids' teeth will not rot!!

Halloween in VA

Evan was a Dinosaur for Halloween. Our neighbor let us borrow the costume. He was super cute!

The first three pictures are from the ward Trunk-or-Treat. They were trying to play musical chairs. Of course Evan didn't know what was going on, so he just crawled around the chairs, and some little kid would have to leave the circle cause there weren't enough chairs left. It was funny, maybe you just had to be there.

Here is Evan Trick-or-Treating for the first time. He kept trying to run into people's houses. He loved running into the street taking his candy out of his pumpkin bucket and putting it back in.

He didn't last very long. Eventually his Daddy had to carry him.

Evan loves chocolate. He really enjoyed Halloween.

Sofa Salesman

We bought a sectional shortly after Evan was born. We love this sectional. It's seriously the most comfortable thing ever. Plus it's beautiful. (Any takers?) Anyway, I was trying to take pictures of it to post it on Craigslist, since we couldn't get it down to our basement. But everytime I'd go to shoot a picture, Evan would come running to smile for the camera. I really hope this doesn't mean he'll grow up to be one of those annoying furniture salesmen. Ya know, cause car salesmen aren't annoying... hee hee

Evan's First Haircut

So with Evan's crazy curls, we decided it was time he get a haircut. I tried to cut his bangs but that didn't turn out very well. So I was too scared to go for the full on haircut. Since Brett wouldn't allow us going to get it cut, he cut it himself.
We had to bribe Evan with an ice cream 3 muskateer.

Before: His curls... I miss them.

Brett tried scissors...
...but ultimately the clippers worked best.
After: Now he looks like a little boy!

Fear the Vest

Before Coach Tressel went to Happy Valley to trounce the Penn State Nittany Lions 37-17, he made a stop at the Toledo 1st Ward Trunk-or-Treat...



Okay, so maybe it wasn't the "real" Jim Tressel, but can you tell the difference?


Gabriel had a fun time at the Trunk-or-Treat. He wasn't too excited about having to walk all over, but he loved plopping the candy in his bag. He preferred to just go the the same car over and over again. When we came home and took some pictures we found out Gabriel loves to "Cheese!" ...



Go get em' Jim! Call the right play Jim!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Love you, Enoch, Joy & Gabriel
