HAPPY HALLOWEEN

The house is getting spooky...spiders all around.

Kids are ready for their 1st trick or treating.
Sophie--as a cute Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader
Dylan- as Thomas the Tank Engine.

What a handsome choo choo

Darren and I didn't dress up this year, things were a little hectic trying to get the little ones ready. Thank goodness for my great friend Christy for loaning me this shirt. Can you believe she actually made this..

Sophie getting ready to do a Halloween CHEER!! GO CANDY!!!

Such goofy kids!

Sophie decided that she wasn't just a cheerleader....she was a PRINCESS cheerleader and had to show us her moves

Enough pictures----time for trick or treating, off to the 1st house!

Stopped to take one more picture with our neighbor friend Camryn...she is so cute as Strawberry shortcake

1st house---kids were a little shy and didn't know what to expect.

They sure got the hang of it by the end of the night----saying
" TRICK OR TREAT!!!! CANDY PLEASE"

now what are we gonna do with all of this candy?

Torture??

So Halloween is finally here!! The house is so excited. Decorations are up, candy is purchased and ready to be handed out. Dylan and Sophie's costumes are ready....did I forget something?? NOPE, even Tator and Matilda are in the Halloween mood. Ok, so maybe they aren't as excited as we are but sure is fun dressing them up too every year. We went with the prince and princess theme this year.

Matilda as a prince....

Tator as a unicorn with a princess on her back

What a pair!!

As you can tell they just LOVED IT...well they love all of the hot dogs I bribed them with

What good sports they are...luckily I didn't torture them for long. LUV U matilda and tator

Family PICs 2011

So its my goal that every year I get a professional family picture. I wasn't too excited to do it this year since I felt like a HUGE blimp... But I'm glad that I did them. We had lots of fun, and I cant believe that the kids actually cooperated. Thank you so much to Brad Myers... he did an amazing job. I have him booked already for baby 3s big debut pictures

Pumpkin Patch

Took the kids to a fun pumpkin patch in the country. The kids would have stayed there for hours if we would have let them. It was so fun and the weather was just perfect

No scary costumes here, Sophie insisted on wearing her "Princess" shirt and of course we couldn't leave the house without Dylan and his Thomas shirt

The pumpkin patch was on a working farm so we got to see lots of fun animals

A little scared of the donkey

But when they saw the "big kids" petting the donkey..it was OK then

Time for a hay ride!

Mom and twin time

dad and twin time

THE BEST attraction.....a run down old tractor
Dylan said....like BOB BUILDER!!

here Sophie this is how you do it

time to find the needle in the haystack!

At the very end you get to pick out your very own pumpkin

I'm exhausted from all this fun!!
