Trick or Treat 2010

We carved pumpkins on Saturday or should I say Blake and Gary carved pumpkins. Blake sat down after Gary had helped with his design and carved his own pumpkin. He did a great job. Then he took a small one that Kendall had found at the pumpkin patch and carved that. Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie came over on Halloween for dinner and trick or treating. Gary and I take turns handing out the candy and going door to the door with the kids. This year we had a pretty Princess, a Ninja, and a Mac Daddy. There were lots of kids this year like always and tons of candy! Happy Halloween!

Kendall and I went to MacDonald's Ranch Pumpkin Patch on Friday morning. It was overcast and a little chilly but soon brightened up. Kendall had her first horse ride on Blondie! I didn't think she'd ride the horse but she did and she enjoyed it! We bought a new camera so I had fun taking photographs of Kendall. She finally told me "no more pictures Mommy!" They had a petting zoo with 2 black pigs, 2 cows, goats, chickens, bunnies, and peacocks. We had a fun morning together and Kendall picked out a cute pumpkin!

Broncos V Jets

Gary took Blake to his first Broncos game last Sunday. "Tim Tebow scored his first touchdown of his rookie season and we got to go on the field" said Blake. "The Broncos scored 20 and the Jets scored 24. The Broncos also made 3 interceptions. And I got to meet a hot cheerleader whose name is Lauren." Blake also told me "John Elway was in his booth right above our seats and it was orange Sunday."

Jessica & Sean

Gary's cousin Jessica from Minnesota visited Phoenix last weekend with her boyfriend Sean. We met for dinner and had a fun time. It was great to meet Sean and spend time with them.

Baby Dalton

Our neighbors and friends Krista and Corey had their second son Dalton Gabriel on September 14th. The boys and Kendall love him. Blake and Evan always want to hold him. And baby Dalton loves to snuggle and be held.

P is for Picnic

Kendall's pumpkin

This morning we had a "P is for Picnic" with our Moms Club. We each brought a pumpkin and the kids decorated them. And then they each got a pumpkin or ghost sugar cookie to decorate. No she's not wearing orange lipstick it's orange frosting! We had a fun morning with our friends!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is Gary's birthday. We celebrated yesterday with dinner and an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen (Gary's former employer!). Grandma and Grandpa joined us and we had a fun birthday celebration! Happy Birthday Daddy...we love you!
