Pumpkin Patch!

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch and let them pick out their own pumpkins.  when we pulled up to park there were tractors all lines up for kids to play on or do pictures.  I of course was excited to go to the pumpkin patch for picture purposes and am happy to report that the kids were very cooperative.  :)

The kids were anxious to run down the rows of pumpkins.  Gabe was filling up the wheelbarrow so fast, Daddyo was having to keep up with him to empty it out.  We would have come home with 50 pumpkins or so if it was up to Gabe.  :)

Abby found her perfect little pumpkin, Sebastian found just the right size for him to carry.  Austin was such a big help, even though he probably won't admit it he had a fun time picking out pumpkins too.

The many faces of Abby....

Time for the corn maze....

Abby fell down in the corn maze and hurt her feelings, poor baby girl...

Austin came out of the maze with a souvenir, LOL!

Love our Kiddos!!!

Family Fun Memories!

This is my favorite season!

Trick or Treating on Halloween!

We had such a fun filled weekend with all of the fun Halloween activities!  The weather was perfect!  As I sit here early this morning writing this blog I can hear the rain pounding against the windows and the wind roaring by.  I am so happy the the storms are hitting us here AFTER our great outdoor weekend.

The kids were soooo excited to go trick or treating this year.  Gabe & Sebastian haven't  really understood the concept in previous years and Abby wasn't even 1 last year.  Austin decided he was too old this year to go so he stayed behind to pass out candy while Vinnie and I took the little kiddos.

Abby chose to be a cute little Monkey!  She had a ladybug costume, a fairy costume, and this Monkey costume which was Sebastian's a few years ago.

Gabe was a Dinosaur and Sebastian was Tigger.  The Tigger costume was Austin's way back when he was 3 years old!  I can't believe that I bought that costume 10 years ago!  Boy, time goes fast!  Austin enjoyed seeing Sebastian wear it because he remembers wearing it  :)

The funny thing is, Sebastian has no idea who Tigger is but he was sure excited to be a Tiger!  While we were out trick or treating kids would call out "Tigger" and he would say "Tiger".  So cute!

No matter how many times we try we just can't get them all to look at the camera at the same time.  I really need to start using photoshop and fake it  :)

They were so excited!  After each house they would say "go to the next house"

This was cool, the kids didn't even hesitate running into the "Haunted House".  

They walked pretty far for their little legs!  We left the house around 6:15 and didn't get home until 7:30. We were about 1/2 a block away from home and they all started asking to go home,  by the time we were getting close to our street we were nearly dragging them home because they were so tired.  

Once we got home Austin and his friend were outside trying to scare people, we told them that we saw a bunch of kids their age trick or treating and just wearing football jerseys.  They got excited and quickly threw on their jersey's, grabbed a pillowcase and ran out the door.  They were gone for about 30 min and came back with quite a bit of candy.  They said they were happy they went out.

All the kids had a great Halloween and now we have a ton of candy in this house which I am determined to avoid!  :)

Hope everyone had a great Halloween!

Trick or Treating bust!

The Utah Olympic Oval sent out a flyer advertising that they were having a Halloween Haunted Tunnel, trick or treating, and rollerskating from 7:00-10:00 on Saturday night the 29th.  We thought this would be so fun to take the kids to.  We got them all dressed up in their costumes only to find out that they cancelled trick or treating because the vendors didn't show up to pass out candy.  What a bummer!  

Here are some pictures of them ready to go!

Abby was dressed up as a cute little fairy.  She has wings to go with her outfit but because it was a little chilly she was wearing her hoody.

Fortunately the kiddos were tired and didn't seem to be to bothered that we didn't get to trick or treat and just came home.  In fact, Sebastian fell asleep in the car on the way home.
