Trick or Treat!


I didn't go out on Halloween because I had been sick all week, but I was well enough to pass out candy so that Aaron's family could go out trick or treating together.

The baby is due by the end of this week!

Sorry about cutting off your head Aaron, it was dark and I couldn't see.
(you notice there is only one pumpkin there...)


Noah's Ark
If you can't tell, Kimball is a dog, Simon a giraffte, Sarah an Elephant, and Aaron is Noah.


Trick or Treat!

Carving Pumpkins





So I didn't really get any good pictures of carving the pumpkins, I was too busy cleaning out the guts. Kimball really enjoyed listening to the scary music and sounds on a CD Sarah had. Kimball picked the design of a ghost. I think he was pretty proud of the pumpkin. Unfortunately there are apparently some juvenile delinquents around here, and they stole one of our pumpkins and smashed in the street up the road a few days later, before Halloween even. And it happened to be Kimball's. I sure wish they could have been around to see his reaction. He was so devestated, he sobbed and sobbed, it was pretty sad.

Farm Animals


Kimball and Simon also got to feed the farm animals.






Pony Ride

Kimball and Aaron
Simon and Sarah



The boys got to go on a pony ride at the pumpkin patch. I wished I was little so I could take a ride too.



Hayride






Also at the ranch was a hayride. The boys loved it. It was pulled by a tractor, they couldn't have been more excited. I felt like I was going to fall off the whole time and get run over, luckily I didn't. Kimball was so cute, he kept holding onto my had the whole time.

Pumpkin Patch!

The ranch had a camel, odd.

They had a blast jumping off of haystacks.
(The pumpkins were a bit too heavy for Simon and Kimball to pick up)

This last Saturday we went out to a ranch to pick pumpkins. It wasn't a real pumpkin patch, Sarah and I were a bit disappointed, but it still was a lot of fun. The boys had a blast, they loved it.

Closet Fun


Kimball and Simon love to play in my room and get in my closets and make lots of messes.

Simon...

Simon is getting very good at playing catch, it's one of the few things he will let me do with him, he usually doesn't like me very much. He has a great throw, and catches pretty good.

Simon loves to play with the remote to my ipod player and watch music videos on it. Kimball and Simon would watch the music videos over and over again for hours if I let them.

Computer Time for Kimball



Kimball loves to play Thomas games on the computer, and Simon usually loves to watch him. Once I tried sneaking up on Kimball to tickle him and he said "Don't! I'm working!" Funny kid.

New Bathroom and Playroom



Aaron built these shelves here in the corner.

I have had some requests to see the new bathroom that was put in the basement, so here it is. Also, they opened up the stairway to the basement to let more light in, etc.

New Website

So I have been working on this flower website. I have two sites, but they are basically the same. You all should check them out and tell me what you think, my blog address is http://www.freshflowerideas.net/ and the website is http://www.freshflowerideas.com/

They are basically resources for sending flowers online, but I am trying to put up ideas for flower arrangements for holidays and things as well. My goal is to have one place that you can get all the supplies you need to make your own arrangements. Isn't that exciting? I think so.
