Halloween Fun

Every year my mom always puts on a fun Halloween party for our family. It's something I think we will all remember and look forward to for many years. My mom always plays fun games and we LOVE to play them. I think was we have the most fun at is joking with my mom about a special game of WITCH (BINGO) that is very hard to get witch from. It really is a great time. 
Londyn dressed as Jesse from Toy Story. Doesn't she make the cutest cowgirl??

Look at all these cute kids! I love see everyone's costumes.

Everyone playing the infamous WITCH game.


Even Papa got into it making the an awesome FauxHawk.

The grand prize for winning WITCH was 1 Million Dollar. What am I going to do with all this money??

Halloween night is always fun for us as we get to spend it trick or treating, eating dinner and enjoying fun with the Sanchez family.

Fall Time Fun

Londyn and I were bored one Saturday afternoon so we thought "What can we do that doesn't cost anything but keep us busy?" Well why not make a leaf wreath?? So we went a picked a bunch of different size leaves from our trees and colored them on paper. It was a lot of fun spending time with Londyn making a craft. 


Here is is...the final product! Isn't it lovely?

Black Island Farms


This year we decided to go to Black Island Farms to find our pumpkins and it turned out to be a really good time! We got to go on a tractor ride out to a giant pumpkin patch and pick our own pumpkins, slide down some huge slides and walk through a corn maze. Although it was so hot that day, none of us thought we would need sunscreen in the middle of october! It really was a fun time! 


Look at all the girls ready to find their pumpkins! Carry the pumpkins back proved to be harder than expected because the kiddies couldn't carry the ones they picked! 





What a nice punkin you picked!


What's wrong with this picture?? Shouldn't these girls be walking?


We couldn't get Boo of this slide!


The corn maze was a blast! A little scary but fun.

Happy 7th Birthday Londyn!

Where do I start? Londyn you are another year older and time is just flying by. You are growing into quite a beautiful young lady. You have such a sweet spirit about you and have a wonderful heart. Your willingness to jump in and help whenever you can is such an amazing trait and I hope that is something that stays with you forever. You have such an awesome memory and you always help me remember when I forget, and as you well know I forget a lot! Your dad and I love your determination and know that it will take you so far in life. I hope you keep that "stubbornness" about you it will help you stay strong in this world. Seven years ago our live changed in such an amazing way, we are so grateful to get to enjoy your sweet spirit in our home. We all have had our moments but I believe are becoming a stronger family because of them. I want to thank you for being you and for the lesson you have taught me throughout the last seven years. I look forward to all the new and exciting lessons you teach me in the future. We love you more than the whole wide world! Happy Birthday Sweetie Girl!
