A fun Halloween!

This year Brycen and Blake were so excited for Halloween. They both were totally into their costumes. I think Blake tried his on 5 times a day for the whole month of  October. Brycen was hilarious to watch in his costume. He would put on his cowboy boots and walk around stiff legged. Allie however did not like dressing up, it was more because mom thought she was so dang cute in her costume and made her wear it! She especially did not like her antennae, we would have to put them on her head and distract her until she forgot about them.  Jared had fun being Napoleon Dynamite, because nobody recognized him. Allie freaked out the first time she saw him in that wig! My parents came to visit, and we had fun trick-or-treating together.

Jared turns 30!!

Jared turned 30 last week! It doesn't seem possible, but it's true. The thing is I'm not too far behind him, but I like to tease him anyway. His long day at work unfortunately had to be on his birthday, but the staff took him to lunch and brought all sorts of treats and cards for him. When he got home we had a birthday dinner and a dessert cake! We celebrated the weekend before his birthday with his family at Olive Garden, and they gave him a halloween basket full of all sorts of fun things for a date night.

Pumpkin Carving.

The kids could not wait to carve their pumpkins, so the day after we went to the pumpkin patch we carved pumpkins. Here they are so proud of their work! They insisted on keeping them in their rooms, so I let them. A few days later I noticed black mold growing inside of them, and had to sneek them in the garbage!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a Pumpkin patch called Bauman Farms in Woodburn, Oregon. It was a gorgeous fall day and we went with Emillie and Riley and their kids. We ended up staying all day because there was so much to do. The kids loved going on the zip line, jumping on this huge air pillow, running through a maze, and finding their perfect pumpkin. Allie kept pointing to the pumpkins and saying "ball." 

4 wheeling

We had a fun time going 4 wheeling with some friends of ours Jordan and Emily Young. Jordan went to Dental school with Jared and has recently bought some fun toys. They invited us to go to Sand Lake and go 4 wheel'n. They boys had such a fun time and Allie loved to play in the sand, and try to eat it too!

Quirk Tag

Quirk Tag: I was tagged by my friend Becky

The Rules:• Link the person(s) who tagged you.• Mention the rules on your blog.• Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.• Tag some fellow bloggers by linking them.• Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged!

1. If I see earwax in any of my kids ears I have to get it out or it will just bug me. Sometimes I will notice it in other people. Obviously I don't clean it out, but I can't stand to look at it.

2. I can't stand to listen to sports radio in the car, it automatically gives me a headache for some reason.

3. I like to eat fruit snacks, it's one of my favorite treats- Jared says my teeth are going to rot out from eating them, but I can't help it!

4. I have to give my kids kisses all the time (and my husband too!, he's just gone all day) it is just so fun to kiss a chubby baby cheek. Blake hates kisses, sometimes I have to steal them and run, or bribe him for a kiss. He always says, I told you, "I don't like kisses." I don't know what I will do when they grow up!

5. I like my kitchen countertops clear of all clutter, I don't even like appliances cluttering them. I put my toaster in the pantry as to not clutter my counter tops.

6. I like our bath towels folded a certain way. I worked in Dillard's home department one summer and learned a nice and neat way to fold towels and ever since then I have to have it that way.

I tag: Angie, Brittney, Julie, Kelli, Stacy and Michelle.
