Pre Halloween Festivities

To gear up for Halloween we went for a visit to the pumpkin patch

Here is the picture we took under the sign last year and then again this year. Different pumpkin patches - but look how big Blake is now!








and Blake's school had a halloween parade/party this morning. All the little kids were so cute running around in their costumes.

Stay tuned - Tomorrow morning we will be going to our playgroup's halloween party and in the evening Blake will have one of his little friends over for trick or treating!

Happy almost Halloween!

Red Bluff Visit

Last weekend we headed up to Red Bluff for a quick visit so Chris could hunt with my dad and we were able to see Ashlei for her birthday. I can't believe she is 6 already. 6 going on 16. Funny story: My mom, Ashlei, Darcie and I had lunch on Friday afternoon and Darcie was telling us that a little boy that we know (who is i think probably 4) told his mom that he wanted to get married and his mom asked him who he would marry and this little boy said he wanted to marry Ashlei. So of course Ashlei is listening to her mom tell this story and she says, "WHAT?, Carson wants to marry me?" and then proceeds to say, "I think I just puked in my mouth". I seriously died laughing. She is 6. And she is a little diva! My poor poor brother.

We spent a lot of time hanging out with the horses on this trip which was fun. My parents bought a pony for the grand kids. Can you say spoiled! Of course Ashlei is the only one big enough to ride her now and she got to name her, Spirit. Blake loves the horses and wants to pet them and was fascinated by watching Ashlei and my mom ride. I can't wait for him to be old enough to ride too.

Wish I could have seen everyone while I was up - we always need more time!

Baby Shower

A couple of weekends ago my friends Jill, Adrienne and I threw Aimee a baby shower. It was so much fun and I loved how it all turned out so I thought I would share some pics...

Can't wait to meet baby Cooper!

I'm Back

So I realize I haven't posted in awhile. I'm hopefully going to make up for it tonight. Here is the first post of three. I thought I would share some random photos from the past couple of months - mostly of Blake. He is getting so big and is really a full blown toddler now - and almost 15 months old already. He has a new obsession with hats and wants to climb up on everything lately.

Here are the pictures. Hope you enjoy.
