Happy Halloween!!

This is the closest that I could get a pic of Ash with them..She's a crazy lady when she's outside...

It's Pumpkin Pickin' Time!!

Every fall..we make the trip out to the pumpkin patch for our pumpkins..you kids ready?
And Ashlyn takes the lead..
Of course..we have to stop for pics..
Drive that tractor, kids!
What Momma's lookin' into getting...for the troublemakers in our house..
Wish he wasn't standing too far out from the sign..oh well.
Oh yeah..we forgot..how dare we try to stop Ash long enough for a pic..let her run!
There she goes! (do you think we even attempted the maze with this wildwoman? Ha!)
On a hayride to the pumpkins..

They're off to pick their pumpkins...(set to the music of the Yellow Brick Road)
Ethan has his..Ashlyn's not so sure..
Good job, Budgie. You've got a great pumpkin!
Ash's trying to find the perfect one..
Good job, baby girl!

Misc. pics

Here are the old timey pics we had taken while up in the mountains...
Ethan loved the gun..and it was so hard to keep that hat on Ashlyn's head!

We never really thought we'd let Ethan have a toy gun..but after seeing him with one during the Old Tyme photo thing...we couldn't resist. We may end up confiscating it though...
Leftover chocolate icing + kids = pure happiness

Weekend Trip to the Mountains

One weekend, we went to the mountains as kind of a last hoorah..it was also my birthday..so thanks, Rick for the trip! We had a great time! I've accidentally posted these pics all out of order. Woohoo!

Not too flattering a pic for Momma, but Ethan's cute..he LOVED the cold creek water.
