Violet's preschool puts on a cute little Halloween program. She is adorable and when she was singing all those songs I about died. She is so cute! I love watching her and seeing what a little ham she is!
We carved pumpkins and we were lucky enough to have my sister Jessica here visiting! The kids all picked out which pumpkin they wanted to carve and we got busy to work making the creations! I love creating these masterpieces and seeing how much the kids love them too!
We took the kids to Cornbelly's with cousins and they loved it! They jumped on the bouncy pillow, went through the spook alleys, played in the corn maze, ate lunch, played at the playground and played in corn jail! The kids keep asking when we will get to go again!
Mt Loafer had a carnival fundraiser, I was in charge of the spook alley and spent HOURS decorating it and getting it ready to scare the kids!! I talked my good friend Tori into helping and we had so much fun putting it together!! It was a very successful fundraiser and I even agreed to do the spook alley again!!! To help advertise for the carnival I went to each classroom in costume and invited them to come!
These are a few pictures I took before it was finished! It turned out so well!
Preston played Fall soccer again this year, he really wanted me to coach again and I reluctantly agreed. His team was "Thunder" and had the cutest boys on it! I really enjoyed getting to know the cute kids and watching my little boy play!
We took the kids to The Big Red Barn pumpkin patch. We took the wagon out and played for hours then picked out our pumpkin and headed home! It's such a cute place to visit and donuts oh the donuts!!!
After Disneyland Preston was obsessed with Star Wars, we got the DVD set so James and Preston could enjoy them! We decided to make a family movie night out of it and included cousins!!
We hit both parks on our last day! It was pretty busy so we just went on our favorites again! Ruby LOVES the teacups and squeals with delight whenever we go on them. The kids kept pleading to go again because she was so cute!!
Happiest 'freakin' place on earth!!!
My favorite keepsake is these silhouettes of all my babies!!!
I love this place!!! It gives me butterflies as soon as get there! We had to take a trip to see the park all decked out for Halloween! We spent the first day in California adventure enjoying CARS land!!!
One of my favorite times of year is Halloween so my sweet little kids in Halloween jammies is one of my very favorite things!!! They are so cute all dressed spooky!!!
