Fall Festivities!

We started out our fall festivities

by going to the pumpkin patch and enjoying a fun hay ride

with our cute friends TJ, Erica, and Owen :)

Liam slept the entire time all warm and snuggled against daddys chest

while Finn ran wild enjoying everything and taking it all in.

Finn found himself the perfect pumpkin

while at the pumpkin patch with Papa.

I guess he had to sit on every pumpkin

before choosing his very own.

Let the wild carving begin...

Here is Brandon's famous work of art

1st place prize pumpkin!!!

Friday before Halloween

I dressed up the kids and we took off to see daddy at work.

We went around from desk to desk Trick-or-Treating.

Finn didn't make it to too many desks

being that every time he got a new candy

he had to stop and eat it before continuing on.

Finn the monkey

Liam the Tootsie Roll

Although Halloween was a blustery day

we had a super awesome Halloween.

Grandma and Papa came to see our little bug off

for his first Trick-or-Treating adventure!!!

Finn was so excited to be in his cute costume

and to get out there to collect all his "nandy"

Brandon and Papa took Finn around Trick-or-Treating

while my mom and me stayed with a little sleeping baby

and to great the cute little Trick-or-Treaters

with a good scare and a treat :)

After making the rounds in our neighborhood

Finn went Trick-or-Treating with the cousins.

We had a FUN Halloween!!!

McCall Vaca!!!

Every summer my family drives the 450miles to McCall Idaho.

that this is the best vacation of all time

you will (or should) be thinking the same thing!

If you are still not convinced

so enjoy...
