Carnival Fun!

We went to our annual carnival last night and the girls had a blast! They were SO excited. It was extra fun this year because Brooky could go on all the rides with Brynn so she was feeling pretty proud.

The boats!

They LOVED this obstacle course thing and weren't afraid of the slide one bit - which was pretty big!

The fun slide with Daddy!

They played a few games...

We had dinner and listened to the music

Here's that big obstacle course!

They were happy campers. The look on Brooke's face says it all!

Our New House

Here's some pictures of our new house! We have a front porch now - and just got a bench. Can't wait to sit out there and have a glass of wine! LOL

Our front yard all decked out for Halloween. I still need to get a picture of all of us in front of the house so you get the whole view.

This is what you see when you first walk in...

to the right is the dining room/living area which right now is the play room and I want to make the front part of that room into a sitting room. Need some comfy chairs, etc!

to the left when you walk in is the family room. 

Our dining room/kitchen area

It's nice having an open kitchen to see what the munchkins are up to!

This is looking from the kitchen/dining room area into that playroom/sitting room. - still working on this room!

Play room

At the top of the 17 stairs (yes, I counted - my legs are tired!) this is what you see. To the right is our room & to the left are the rest of the bedrooms.

Our room - we finally have a bed frame!

Brynn's room is at the end of the hall. She lucked out with the biggest room, a walk in closet and a mountain view! Not too bad for a 4 year old!

Brooky's room is next to Brynn...

and the little guys room is the one closest to us!

Our pool! We got a lot of use out of that the first 2 months we were here!

Our fire pit and to the right is the grassy area. We're in the process of giving all of the larger river rocks that outline all the grass to a friend for their home and then we're going to have landscapers extend our grass for the kids. Hopefully right after the new year. It will look so nice! There's quite a bit of room for more grass.

Well, there it is! We're excited to make many more happy memories in our new home and hope not to move for a VERY long time!!

Pumpkin Decorating!

The girls couldn't wait to decorate their pumpkins with the decorating kits that Auntie sent out!

Tada! They did great!

A Day at the Pumpkin Patch!

We made our annual trip to Tomalchoff Farms on Friday when Daddy got home from CA... I thought it would be slower being a week day, etc... Boy was I wrong. We got there right when it opened and there were about 10 school busses there - we knew we were in trouble. Remind me next year to call ahead and see what groups they have coming! We made the best of it and the girls still had fun despite the crowds and the heat!

I wanted a picture of us by the pumpkin patch sign but the girls were not having it. I should have stood there myself holding a pumpkin by my belly but I didn't want to make a scene! Our baby boy by the way is estimated to be 5 lbs, 2 oz. - he will gain an ounce every day until he decides to come meet us!

Our 2 little pumpkins!

The girls had fun riding the train... well I don't know who had more fun - Daddy or the girls! 

Then we went on the bounce pillow. Bryce went on with them to make sure the big kids weren't too rowdy!

Hi Mr. Goat!

We got the girls a snow cone to help cool us off & Brooky told us she wanted purple - so that's what she got. Well, she then decided she wanted blue like Brynn and threw a fit on the grass for about 5 minutes. After that, she snapped out of it and decided to join in on the fun. 

She's so hot and cold!

Brynn had BLUE!

They love the slide!

That time down must have hurt!

Once the school kids left, we let them go jump on the bounce pillow one more time!

Then we picked out our pumpkins. Brynn's is a little big! Where's Daddy?!

Brooky picked out the baby...

Our annual family pic

A good time was had by all!
