Pirate Princess Parties on Halloween!














Halloween was so much fun!!!! The Wagners came over and ate dinner with us and then we headed out to the Jamison's neighborhood for trick or treating. Once Alexis figured out people would give her candy if she tried to say trick or treat we could not get her to stop. She loved it! At some points, she was "running" to the next house because apparently we were too slow :)

She was a pirate princess this year and it fit her well, sassy/sweet. She loved dressing up this year even though she still hates carving pumpkins. She does have some girliness in her still. In the pics you can see our carved pumpkin.

Also, you will notice there is only one pic with Alexis wearing her pirate hat. It is so cute and completes the whole outfit, but she would not wear it at all. We had to put the hat on her head and snap the pic before she took it off just to get that one, so enjoy it!

Happy Halloween everybody! Enjoy these pics.

Blake's Cider Mill/Orchard/Pumpkin Patch Weekend






Our family went with our good friends, the Wagners to Blakes again this year. I left my camera in AZ, so fortunately Callie gave me these five pics that she took of our family. Although it was freezing and raining off and on, we had a great time. We picked out our pumpkin, we got some cider and homemade donuts, we went on a hayride, and we went to the apple orchards and picked out a 1/2 bushel of apples! I am going to be making applesauce, apple crisp, pies, you name it. I didn't realize how much a 1/2 bushel actuallly is, but it was so much fun. I sure do love fall!
