Carving the pumpkins!

Bryson found this little flashlight from who knows where, but he was loving it!

Brady revealing his creation!

Brady had found the "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" on TV while we were carving the pumpkins. He mentioned loving to watch the show when he was young. It was interesting to see who else likes it too. He even got a front row seat!

Play dough fun!

I found a recipe to make pumpkin pie play dough! It was super easy to make and made the house smell yummy! It is the softest play dough I have ever felt and it kept Bryson entertained, who could ask for more than that!

Here is the recipe!

5 1/2 cups flour

2 cups salt

1 small container pumpkin pie spice (1.12 ounces)

8 teaspoons cream of tartar

3/4 cup oil

4 cups water

Put it all together in a pot on medium heat, stir until it goes from clumpy to peanut butter consistency. Pour onto a floured surface to cool a bit. Knead with extra flour to get the right consistency and start playing!

Fallin' for fall!

It's hard to believe that over eleven years ago I had no idea that my beautiful valley I live in now even existed. Surrounded by the most beautiful mountains, where we enjoy every season! Fall is by far my most favorite time of the year! My eyes try to scope everything in view when I drive down a street that is lined with large trees. The tree colors are so bright that you'd think that it could only be found in a painting. A friend of mine, Rhonda and I ventured out one afternoon last week to capture what mother nature had to offer!

Bryson saying how high the tree's are!

Pumpkin walk!

There is an annual Pumpkin walk held every year where everything is done voluntarily and using pumpkins. It's amazing how creative and talented people are. Here are only a few of the pictures that I took!

Toy Story!

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs!
Snow White and the seven dwarfs!
The Flintstones!
Snoopy!
(He totally reminds me of my Aunt Yazmin who loved snoopy growing up!)
One of my all time favorite shows, the Muppet Babies!
Sponge Bob!

(with Mr. I don't want to smile)
I found someone else to give me the smiles!
Up!
I had to add this picture of Bryson scarfing down the cookies he was given at the end of the pumpkin walk, he even ate the one's I had been given in no time at all!

4 months old!

At four months old Kendyl loves to be held and cuddled. She likes to be where the action is, she will whine when we are having dinner just so that she can join us at the table! She is very mellow and is often just content looking at her surroundings. She loves the taste of her fingers!

Kendyl has also recently discovered her little piggies!
Only four months old, but she sure has the sweetest personality!

Doctor check-up

Bryson's 3 year check-up and Kendyl's 4 month check-up landed at the same time so I was able to take both of them in during the same visit. It's a big change going for two kids. Our pediatrician's office does hand prints for the kids to take home along with their stats and for babies they do their foot prints. Their Doctor also took a shot at drawing the two kids, I'd say he did a good job!

Bryson is still not on the growth chart but he has his own curve of growth that he has followed. Since he met his own curve once again he was good to go.

Kendyl's drawing has the peacock hair and the bow, I'd say it looks just like her!

Pumpkin pickin'

I was excited to find a farm that we can pick our own pumpkin so we made it a play date!

It's a little tricky letting the kids go out and pick which ever pumpkin they wanted, in the back of our minds we are hoping that they pick a nice one! Just in case they get attached to their pumpkin you at least want it to be a pretty one. Thankfully Bryson chose well and we ended up taking four pumpkins home!

Here is a group shot of the kids, minus three babies.

Cute Chloe was kind enough to offer her hand in picture taking! The camera is backwards but hey, I won't tell if you won't!

Kendyl woke up in time for some pictures and she is loving the taste of her hands lately!
