Pumpkin carving time!

Chad was such a big kid tonight and picked out his jack-o-lantern face and carved it all by himself (minus dad helping with the guts on the inside).

 the focus face with tongue and all!

 Finished products!

My 31st Birthday

I honestly cannot believe I am 31.  Where has the time gone?

Yesterday we celebrated my 31st birthday and I loved every minute of how excited Chad was that it was moms birthday.  He sure was super lovey and concerned about making it all about me and helping dad with everything he could.  He even asked when all the cousins where coming over to celebrate for my birthday party. :)

Helping Dad make my breakfast in bed

 SO excited, he even crawled right next to me in bed and cuddled while I ate.

After Chad was at school Alan grabbed us lunch and we had a picnic at the park

Happy birthday to mom!

 



Schnepf Farms

We took our annual trip to Schnepf Farms this past weekend but this year was extra special because we got to go with the Kings which means Olivia! Chad loves his best bud Olivia and loves to share memories with her.  We had lots of fun hanging out, going on rides and eating lots of treats!

 

Best Buddies!

Remax Client Appreciation Party

Alan is now working at Remax with our brother in law Dan so we were able to come again and participate in the yearly client appreciation party.  Chad loves going because it means endless cousins, bounce houses, cotton candy, snow cones and more! It's like his own carnival!

Cotton candy!

Centennial Pumpkin Lighting Event

On Friday (10/24) we headed over to Centennial for their 5th annual Pumpkin Lighting Event.  All the teachers create a pumpkin and put it on display along with the book fair, lots of games, activities and the food trucks! We took cousins Brigham and Alec along and dressed up our ninja for a fun filled night!

Kindergarten class pumpkins (Chads class was Michelangelo)

Baby Alec had fun too!

Vertuccio Farms

Since we have the Bennett kiddos visiting from California this week the family decided to take a trip to Vertuccio Farms this weekend.  We had the Arizona Bennetts, California Bennetts (minus Dave and Linds), Alisa family, some Porter kiddos, Grandma Bennett, Us and Josh, Chris and Liv along for the ride! The cousins had such a fun time playing with each other!

We took up the whole ride! 

 

After we ended up at Grandma Bennetts house with some tired kiddos that Uncle got to snuggle!

Fall break California trip

We took a trip out to California to visit Uncle David, Aunt Lindsay and our cousins over fall break.  Like every time we had such a great time! Chad was counting down the days and then cried the whole last day because he didn't want to leave his cousins.  I can't blame him!
