What we are getting for Christmas this year...

October Halloween Partying!

Another growing tradition of ours is to go with a few friends to the Pumpkin Patch.  The kids love to ride on the tractor and choose from the never ending assortment of pumpkins.  We got mean and made them pick smaller ones cuz we had already gotten a few (much cheaper ones) before. 

Here are the chosen pumpkins. I love little babies and baby pumpkins! They just fit together!

Now I am going to be prideful here. Carson told me he wanted to be yoda for halloween. I have issues with buying the full blown costumes because they are too unoriginal for me. But the bad thing about that is that I am no seamstress. So Carson and I spent all day at thrift stores and dollar stores. I found amazing gloves that I sewed onto his feet and he wore on his hands. They were perfect except they had five fingers and apparently yoda has four. I found this robe which was huge. I hemmed it as well as a non-seamstress would hem. And I totally sewed the ears myself and sewed them onto a green beanie. I would call this costume genius. I also think he is the cutest yoda I've seen. I also made a lot of Amelia's too. She is even cuter than the real strawberry shortcake!

I love groupon. They had an amazing deal that Harris and I signed up for the farmstead race for super cheap and Carson did the fun run for even cheaper! Then it came with an all day pass to all of the fun things at the farmstead. So we got to do all of these awesome things and had a blast!

This picture might make you think "oh how cute" of Amelia, but your wrong. It tools us forever to get through this mazes cuz she wanted to pull this wagon all by herself the whole time.

Cute pic of dad and son.

The awesome blow up pillow.

These horses were huge and Amelia was in love. I have to admit so was I. Those things are so cool.

You also might wonder if adults are allowed on cow trains. This adult is.

Farmstead really does rock as the giant chair says.

Kids riding the ponies. I loVe it. Amelia rides like a pro.

And this last pic is our pre trick or treating dinner fest. If you are going to go out and get loads of candy you better prepare with Loads of pop and orange jello! We had such a good time trick or treating in our new neighborhood.

September Fun

 It has kinda become tradition to go to visit my sister and her fam on Labor Day Weekend and go to the Blackfoot fair.  It is fun to see the animals and strange people and eat the yummy food!

 Amelia LOVES ponies.  If I were rich I would have her do rodeos.

Carson truly believes this is Bumblebee.  He was super stoked to get to sit inside!  I'm not gonna lie, that is an amazing car.  I would look good in that.

Just love this pic...girlie and her daddy.

This was my favorite part of the night.  Carson was brave enough to ride this ride and a I was so excited to finally have a partner to ride with!  He laughed and yelled the whole time and so did I.  We had a blast.  Way better than the little lamo kid roller coasters.

 We had  a blast at the fair and spending time with Misty and her family.  It is a good tradition to keep going.

We thoroughly enjoyed the later warm weather we had this year.  Amelia really wanted to try to ride a bigger bike so here she is all geared up to ride.  The brakes are backwards pedaling and she couldn't really get the hang of it.

The best/weirdest/saddest part of September was sending my little boy off to Kindergarten.  I just get teary eyed every time I realize how fast they grow and how I feel like he was just a little baby.  In the blink of an eye he'll be going on a mission.  Yikes!  This is him and cheeseball on the cute little mini bench at the school.

When it was warm we got to ride bike to school and so here we are on the first day getting ready to ride to school.

 He's super soaked.  No tears had come at this point.  (That was later)

 And here is his first lost tooth!  That was so exciting!!!  Like I said...he is just getting so big!!!!
