Thanksgiving 2013

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! On Thanksgiving day we spent the day at my sister in law's in laws' house...can you track that?? he he! We had a great day eating delicious food and the kids had a big playroom full of toys all to themselves! Here are the pics: 

playing with a hand carved Noah's ark!

loves her babies...like her mama! 

loved the little place cards!

after nap cuddles

Jason and Holly worked really hard on this napkin man! 

loving the little bump! 

We then spent the next day with Heidi while Josh and Jason worked. We had so much fun exploring the tractors and also playing in a huge pile of leaves!

The next few pictures are from the Enns' Thanksgiving...which is also always a good time! 

We have had so much to be thankful for this year! Thank you Jesus!

Halloween 2013

Ryan's first concert :)

Our little guy got to go to his first real concert with his Daddy tonight. Our cousin was performing his master's recital at a nearby church and since Ryan has an obvious love of music, we thought he would do great...and he did! :) He sat through a 2 hour choir concert and Jason said he loved every minute and did awesome! And seriously...how adorable are my 2 guys: 

So fun! I'm excited to see where his love of music takes him. :) 

Pumpkin Patch 2013

Nothing says the start of fall like the pumpkin patch...and Hillcrest in Reedley is seriously the best ever! I love that it's covered with trees, has a hay ride, old tractors and a real steam locomotive that the kids can ride! It's so fun! :) This year we went twice! We went with our little preschool co op group first. Auntie Heidi even came with us, which made it extra special! It was great...the kids got a story on how pumpkins grow, a hayride, go on a nature walk and even were able to pick out their own little pumpkin! Enjoy the pics!

love these kiddos! 

my cutie! 

She loved holding her little pumpkin...she kept saying "baby ball" 

Luke and Ally always end up having a great time when they're together! 

having fun letting the boys pull her in the wagon 

So fun having Auntie Heidi with us! 

Then on Saturday we were able to go with Jason and go on the train (although I didn't get any pics on the train because Ally was a little scared and wouldn't let me grab the camera)

In heaven on a big tractor

and of course Ally has to drive it too :) 

it is becoming very hard to get to her to look at the camera ;) 

my little girl! 

Trying to get a good picture this year was a fail: they just wanted to run around and explore...not very happy about stopping to take a pic :) 

The kids' expressions' crack me up! 

watching the model train...so fun! 

Love this time of year and making memories!
