October 2 of 3

We had our annual Pumpkin Carving/Chili night the Friday before Halloween, and it was a BLAST! I tried to get Serena to play with the pumpkin guts but she wasn't interested.

Here I am showing her how fun it is to squish the guts between your fingers.

She thought maybe I should eat some pumpkin seeds.

Getting a little more interested.

Getting brave enough to stick part of her hand in there.

Anyhow here are our finished products!

Westin's Goblin man. He decided to really "carve" his pumpkin this year. I LOVE how it turned out with the candle's light and the lights off.

I am obviously not the best pumpkin carver, but this year I did a witch. I like it.

Hope you enjoyed! You've got 1 more post to look at! COMMENT!

October Post 3 of 3

Westin got some free tickets to Black Island Farms (a big corn maze and fall fun place) from work this year, and then we found out his brother, Jon, also got free tickets. So we packed up the kids one Monday night and off we went! We had so much fun and were so glad Jon, Leslie and the boys were able to come with us!

Serena hanging out on Daddy's shoulders. We brought her stroller but she didn't want anything to do with it.

Westin coming down the "Big Slide" with Serena. I know it isn't that great of a picture but it's all I have to document it.

In the corn maze. We actually only went through the little kid maze.

Serena playing in the "sand box" it was actually just popcorn, but it was pretty fun still.

The grandkids going down the kiddie slide

Serena sitting on a tire

Isn't this the silliest picture?

Hope you enjoyed all my silly posts today! Enjoy! COMMENT!!!

Tree House Children's Museum

While my SIL Heather was up from St. George last week we took the kids to the Tree House Children's Museum in Ogden. It was SO much fun! (thanks again Heather for inviting me). Here are some of the cute pictures I took.

Serena and Aiva being Firegirls

Look at all that yummy fake food, Serena LOVED it.

I had to get a picture of Heather, Aiva, and me all milking the cow (Serena wanted nothing to do with it)

Aiva being a cute cowgirl.

They just loved knocking the chess pieces over and moving them around.

Doll room

They had this cute little stage that the girls loved to play on.

By time we were done it was the girls naptime and they were exhausted. This is how we found them when we got home.

Serena

Kage

Aiva

Thanks for looking... post a comment.

P.S. We bought a new car! I'll get pictures and post soon!

Random Events (Post 1 of 2)

So a couple of weeks ago I went down to St George for the weekend to play with my sister-in-law Heather and her cute kids.

Here are all 3 "babies" in the back seat of my mom's Traverse.

Serena was so interested in Cage. Here she is examining his belly button.

And giving him hugs

The other morning Serena woke up with the WORST bed head, I just had to take a picture.

One day while I was folding laundry Serena pulled out a little basket, that normally has her diapers and wipes in it, and sat in it, and got stuck. I know I am a mean mom but I HAD to take a picture.

Lastly, I made Serena this cute little Tutu to wear. I was inspired by this blog, and Serena LOVES it. Our friend Clark took some cute ones of her playing in it at our family get together the other day, I will have to get the prints from him. This picture just DOESN'T do it justice.

Enjoy, Post a comment! And don't forget to look at the next post! There are 2 today!

Family Pictures by Clark (Post 2 of 2)

We got Serena's 1 year pictures taken a while back and Clark (who is Awesome!!) got us the prints back so here she is!

We stuck Serena in the middle of my Mom's flower garden. I know her hair is a mess but don't you just LOVE that smile

Doesn't she just look so sweet

She apparently doesn't like mom and dad giving her kisses

The wind was blowing SOOO hard (can you tell by her flower) but she was such a trooper.

Also a cute family picture

This is the little rocking chair I grew up with. I think Serena loves it just about as much as I did

Another family picture. I had my hair all done super cute and the wind did nothing but blow so instead of having perfectly tossed curls, I had wind blown, not so much, curls.

Enjoy! post a comment

Silly Serena and Aiva Comes to Visit

I went to get in the shower the other day and stuck Serena in her bouncer with an Oreo to keep her busy. This is what I found.

I love the Oreo all over her face

Serena has officially started being very mischievous. As soon as she as walking full time she discovered that she could open cupboards and pull things out. This is what I found her doing.

She obviously feels no shame.

Serena's cousin Aiva has been over visiting for the las couple of days. It has been so fun for them to be able to play together.

Here they are sitting in their chairs.

I tried and tried to get pictures of them both reading their books, or both drinking their juice but as soon as one would start the other would stop... but they are still pretty cute!

Proof that Aiva just LOVES Serena. She just has to smother her with kisses and hugs.

Enjoy! Post a comment!
