Halloween 2012

Halloween this year was a bit harder than I thought it was going to be.  Allen had to end up working late so I ventured out by myself and the girl.  We went to the bank where Allen's sister works and trick or treated there...which I hope to do that every year...so easy and warm. (this year didn't matter for the warm part...it was 65 degrees until the sun went down, crazy)  Then headed over to the neighborhood trunk and treat to say hi to everyone!!!  

 She got to where she new what to do if now one was by the bucket...help herself of course, but I had to watch her to make sure she only took one or Two!!!

 Addie was running to every bucket of candy. 

 Livi was tuckered out and fell asleep on the way home.

 This is a rare picture because Addison never likes to take pictures.  She actually looks like she's enjoying herself.  This is a treasure for me.

Pumpkin Patch 2012

 The pumpkin patch was a lot of fun this year.  Addison had so much fun picking our her pumpkins, yes she got two small ones and Livi got 3 small ones,  because I also needed them for my 4th Sunday Lesson for church.

Livi had a great time riding in the wagon by herself.  She is sitting but really unstable at times so we came prepared with the bumbo!

Gammy and Pops......

It was fun to have Gammy and Pops come and visit us in the big truck.  They brought Addison's rocking chair and she loved it.  She wanted to rock in it all the time with her babies and blanket.

Lately she doesn't like to smile when she see's me get out the camera.  So I guess there going to be a stage that is without smiles!!!

It only took a few hours for Addison to remember her Gammy!  Then they were best buds!!

Allen had a long week and so he and the puppy decided to take a Sunday morning nap!!


Addison wanted to take Pops on walks around the house.  It was pretty cute.

 We were sad to see them go, but can't wait till they come back. We definitely had winter weather, but didn't mind it much!!!  We canned the two pumpkins I had left, then did some black beans and then mom had to leave and I finished up with the pinto beans. 

Pumpkin Patch

I think I was more excited to go to the pumpkin patch than anyone. As you know I love the fall and all that it incorporates.  It was going to be so fun to take Addison, let her ride in the wagon, and find some pumpkins.  It was such a beautiful day and right when we got there, you guessed it, the wind kicked up.  It wasn't to cold just annoying.  Once we found Addie one just her size she made sure it was right there with her.  It was really cute.  She had the cutest smile on her face the whole time.  I love seeing her so happy.  Well that only takes her being outside.  I'm kinda sad winter is coming...It's gonna be a long one!!!

Jackson

Yesterday Allen and I decided to take a drive to Jackson to see all the colors and breath the mountain air.  It has snowed the two days before and had melted just for us.  It was still on the mountains and on the peak before coming down into Jackson Hole, but everything was so beautiful.  FALL Really is my Favorite time of year.  We ate lunch, walked through the shops, got a parking ticket...which we are not paying because we were not in the wrong, and had a treat at our favorite little bakery (cherry pie and Ice cream).  I was a very nice day and think we're going to make it a tradition to drive to Jackson every year to see all the fall colors!!!!!!  We might have to take a different car so not to be impounded or something like that...

Fall Weekend at Home (new mexico)

We were able to go home for a few days...I wish we didn't live so far so we could go home more.  When I was living in Utah, it was only 6 hours, but now add another 3 hours to that and a baby and the drive seems forever.  FALL is my favorite season......the warm sun with the crisp air, the smell of apples or something being canned, homecoming,  and of course pumpkins!!!!

Kallie (my sister) was nominated for Homecoming queen, so we headed down to participated in all the fun activities.  We made Navajo Tacos (homecoming isn't homecoming without them), created all different kinds of caramel apples, and carved pumpkins.  The weekend was so enjoyable. 

First, the parade and then the game and the announcement of THE queen.....Kallie didn't win but she should have!!!!!

I had to stand in the shadows of the stop sign so Addie wouldn't get sun blasted. 

First night out with the baby.  She was all bundled up so you can't see her but we had fun. 

Sofi(my niece) wanted to ride the tractor around the track, but she settled for pretending!!

Pumpkin carving was so much fun and not as much work as it looks like. I have never used a pumpkin cutting kit before, but I won't leave home without one again.  It worked really good.
