Thankful tree

We made this thankful tree for FHE tree last night.  I'm loving it.

Halloween

Our Halloween weekend consisted of:

 pumpkin painting;

 The kids love it and I love that there is less of a mess to clean up.

 Caleb's creation.

 Sam's creation.

 A trip to King's Dominion.  It was soo cold there was almost no one there.

 Sam got to drive on empty roads.

 Caleb sticky fingers.

 Sam was called up from the audience to help with Charlie Brown's show.

 and trick-or-treating, of course.  I forgot to take pictures on Halloween so I made dress back up so I could get this shot.  The cutest angry bird and pig ever (at least I think so).

Pumpkin patch

This fall we visited the pumpkin patch a few times.  We love it.

 Caleb is not a fan of hay.

 This little guy is just too cute.

 Kylee is one of our favorite little friends.  She is so beautiful.

 Our friends, the Staffords.

 My little cowboy!

 We love these guys too, the Gouglers.

 Cute cousins.

Sam is special!

Sam had to make a poster about what makes him special, a few weeks ago for preschool.  Here are some pictures we used.  Happy birthday to the sweetest five year old I know.

Sam...

loves to snowboard;

 loves his doggie (we had to throw Doggie a birthday party one day when Sam told us it was his birthday);

 loves Disneyland and his family (and even though you might not be able to tell from this picture he LOVES Mickey Mouse);

 wants to be a race car driver when he grows up (he also wants to be a doctor and a rock star);

 loves tubing and spending time with his cousins;

 loves to fish and is totally awesome at it;

 plays soccer (it is soooo much fun to watch him);

 has a few pets;

 is special!

Caleb's birthday

I had a lot of fun making Caleb's little Mickey Mouse cake.  He loves Mickey and says, "Icky" every time he sees him.

 We did cupcakes too.

Thanks to friends who came to celebrate with us.

 Caleb really had no idea what was going on.  He looked confused but happy while everyone was singing to him.

 It took a while to to figure out what he was supposed to do with the candles but he got them in the end.

 My cute little Caleb.

 As soon as he bit into the tomato he spit it out onto the floor.  That's my Caleb.
