Trick or Treating

Finally Halloween!  The kids were so excited to Trick or Treat.  Well, at least until Cooper got into the car.  Hahaha...We were in the car for about 2 minutes driving to meet some friends and he fell asleep.  I'm glad he got a little rest before staying out late though!

Just a few pictures of them actually trick or treating.

She was crazy excited about this gummy eyeball.  And then refused to eat it.  

Holding up their loot.  Cooper couldn't lift it, hence the face!

We had them eat their warheads when we got home.  Yeah, we're horrible parents, I know... ; )

Halloween Fun

Fun Halloween activities today.  I'm glad Addison is tracked out now.  It makes it easier to do all of these activities.  The kids have been begging me all week to carve the pumpkin so we finally did that today.  I don't know why Addison always wants to do it because she HATES pulling the guts out.  That's pretty much the only part she can help with since she can't actually carve yet.  

Cooper was ready and willing to get the goo out

Yay!  Pumpkin guts! (notice Addison's face)

Addison and her one tiny seed.  And totally grossed out by it.  Hahahaha...

The kids surprisingly agreed pretty quickly that they wanted a spider.  It was pretty easy and came out pretty good!

We had our ward Trunk or Treat tonight and they kids were so excited.  They had been asking since lunch to put their costumes on.  They are SO cute.  I saw these at the consignment sale and they were the right sizes so it worked out perfectly!  It ended up being perfect because ever since Disney, they've loved Mickey and Minnie even more.  I love when they have coordinating costumes!

Excited about his stash!

And we're going trick or treating tomorrow too so they're going to have WAY too much candy.  I think Phillip and I can help with that ; )

Another Saturday, another pumpkin patch!

We have sure been busy with fall activities lately!  My friend Megan had some extra groupons that weren't going to be used so she invited us to pumpkin patch/hayride/corn maze place.  The weather was perfect.  Cloudy, cool and breezy.  It was such a perfect fall day.

My and my cutie pie on the hayride

Cute girls

My boys

Big kids all together.  They love each other!

Corn maze!  It was nice and short!

Made it to the top of the hay mountain

They had these cool inflatable horses to race each other through the hay bales.  It was really fun.

The boys playing cornhole

They had these cars and the big boys LOVED them and spent an hour driving them around and the little boys thought they were so much fun.

They had a tractor "train" for the kids to be driven around the farm.  I think that was their favorite part.

I'm sad that pretty much all of our fall activities are done.  Have I mentioned how much I love fall???

It's a.....

Baby Girl!!!!

We are having another baby!  We are so excited!  We were waiting to announce until we knew what it was and we just found out this morning.  I had a Groupon for a half off gender ultrasound so we found our a little early.  She is due April 9, 2013 so I'm about 16 weeks along.  The whole family went including my parents so that was really fun.  Addison is crazy excited.  She's been taking about having a sister for as long as I can remember.  Cooper was bummed and was pretty disinterested with the whole thing once we told him it wasn't a boy but he's over it.  We went to my parents house afterward where he played with Brenan's daughter Tali and said "I love baby girls".  So I think he'll be OK ; )  I just love ultrasounds.  The baby was moving around a lot, moving her mouth, hands, feet and even rolled over onto her tummy.  It was super cute!  Here's some pictures although we couldn't get a REALLY good one but oh well.

Here's a profile shot.  To the left, you can see her head, nose, mouth and on the top was her hand.

I don't know why but I LOVE tiny feet in ultrasound pictures

A couple of "potty" shots

Another one in between her legs

Fall Hayride

We went on our annual hayride today with Phillip's sister and her family.  It was so fun.  The kids have been looking forward to this all week.  Shawna drove up from Myrtle Beach and the kids loved playing with their cousins.  I'm so glad they get to spend time together!

The kids making their way through the corn maze

I love this picture.  It came out really cute.

Cooper trying to smile but it was pretty sunny

Good family picture.  Again, super sunny!

On the hayride! 

He was apparently amazed by something scary on the tree

Cool dudes

Phillip was trying to push Cooper toward the scary spiders.  He screamed in response.  It was hilarious!

And then he was apparently sad.  This would have been great if he had just smiled!  He used to be SO photogenic but he has definitely changed his tune lately.

They loved decorating their own pumpkins

Glad we got one good one!
