Playing in the leaves

It was actually a nice day out today so we decided to have some fun playing in the leaves. The dogs even seemed to enjoy it.

Alana insisted on racking by herself! Go for it girl!

Sleepy boy

I had taken Alana to Cluggys to meet her friend Lizzie while Tyler stayed home to help Daddy put shelves up in the basement. I guess Daddy must have really put him to work since he ended up falling asleep at 6:00pm. That can't be a comfortable position to sleep in!

I'm Yours

Alana loves this song. It is her favorite right now! I found a video of it on demand and she dances and sings to it all the time! Good thing I like it too :)

Trick-Or-Treat!!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. No bloody noses for Tyler, he fell last year. We had Alana's friend Lizzie and her parents over for dinner and then to go trick or treating. The kids were very excited about going. Tyler has been wearing his costume for a short while everyday since we had gotten it, and even wanted to put it on this morning too. He loved being James, even kept the hat on (which we were shocked that the hat fit him since he has a rather large head, poor kid) Alana was a witch, and she also had been wearing her costume a lot as well. Dave, Mike and Rhonda took the kids around while I stayed back to pass out candy this year. Dave said Tyler lasted about 2 houses then wanted to be carried. We do live at the bottom of a pretty big hill.

Halloween party

Alana had her Halloween party at school yesterday. They all seemed to have fun. Dave took Alana to school and stayed for the party. They also went to the pet store and to Red Robin (yumm) for lunch. It was a good 'Daddy daughter day'

Her whole class dressed up

Lizzie and Alana waiting for their parade around the school to start

Yummy cookies!!

They played Alphabet Bingo.

The whole class sitting down for snack time with their 'magic' pumpkins. They carved a pumpkin on Thursday in class and they all got to take a magic pumpkin seed and 'plant' it in the ground out front. And sure enough they grew over night into little pumpkins! It was amazing!!

Jelly stone

We had so much fun at Jellystone the other weekend. Granted it rained on us most of the morning on Sat. but that didn't stop the kids from having fun. I didn't take too many pictures and actually looking at them I don't really have any of Tyler. He was taking 3.5 hour naps everyday and when we did stuff it was usually around his nap time. He slept through the parade, which was fine. I would rather him be rested then wake him up and be a grump for it :)
It was such a great time. We met some friends out there and just had a blast together. There were 4 families total with 9 kids between us. They all got along great, for the most part. We reserved the same cabin for next year!! Dave is hooked on the camping thing now, which is awesome. We used to camp all the time when I was growing up. Anyway, enough of the writing I know most of you just want to see pictures of the kids ;)

Wicked witch!!

And they're off. Going to line up for the parade. Hurry there is candy to get!

Apple Festival

We went to the apple festival a few weeks ago and had a great time. It was bigger then what we had thought. We went with Mike, Rhonda and Alana's friend Lizzie. The girls had a great time hanging out together. Tyler seemed to have fun as well. He tried out the hula hoop but decided it was just easier to carry it around. They had all sorts of fun kid activities.

Checking out the puppet show.

Petting zoo

Playing in some straw. They were covered in straw all the way down to their undies :) They had fun throwing it all over. Good times!
