Fall

Here are some of the pictures we have taken this fall. We have been so busy with Chris's football, and everything else that comes up I haven't had a chance to update in quite awhile. I'll give you a brief update of what we have been doing as posted in the pictures...

The kids love to play outside and we have been trying to get out as much as possible. Avery has learned to swing independently (which she loves to do now) and Jack loves to play in the car or take a walk.

Jack also loves to sit on the potty, which you will see. Although he is not ready for potty training he watches us and thinks he should have a turn as well.

A few weeks ago we took the kids to McDonald's farm which was lots of fun. We did the corn maze and then the kids got to play in the corn bins and pet some of the animals. Jack loved the pigs whenever they would make a noise he would just laugh!!! Until one bit him, which made him stop laughing for a few moments and then all was well.

One nice fall night, we took the kids to Dillon State Park and Avery played by the water and Jack on the playground. Then we took a nice family picture with the pretty leaves behind us.

Henry and Audrey came to spend the day at Grandpa and Grammies house around Halloween which was lots of fun. Henry and Jack had lots of fun playing in the Jeep while Avery and Audrey jumped on the trampoline. After their nap and before Avery's Trunk or Treat with her school all the kids got into their costumes and we took a nice picture. (Jack wanted nothing to do with the spiderman costume grandpa picked)

We carved pumpkins this year again and Jack liked to help mommy clean them out. Avery didn't enjoy that as much and instead tried a kit I bought her with little pegs she hammered in to make patterns.

Jack found the wagon that great-grandpa bought a few years ago and he loves to go for rides in it. He even likes to pull it around the yard while Avery swings.

Last are some pictures of Halloween. Avery was a Cowgirl this year and Jack Spiderman (grandpa picked it out, I wanted a puppy instead). Since the first time we tried to have him wear it he refused I wasn't sure how he would be, but he ended up wearing the outfit just not the mask. I was really cute with all the muscles. Avery had lots of fun trick or treating and liked to pass out the candy as well. We had LOTS of kids this year, Chris and I guess somewhere between 250-300.
I hope you enjoy the pictures!!!

Avery's Fourth Birthday

We celebrated Avery's birthday on her birthday which was Sunday. She decided on a horse party with all her friends and family. I found a horse pinata and we made little horse decorated bag to collect all the candy in. She had a great time and got lots of new horse things.



Jack had lots of fun with the box that one of Avery's presents came in.




She decided on a horse cake.
















I love this picture!!!!!
