Pumpkin Patch!

Saturday morning we went with our neighbors Alyssa, Ben, Vaughn and Issac to the Denver Botanical Gardens at Chattfield to get pumpkins and take some pictures of the kids.

Avery was a littl tired after the big party.

Two Best Buds. They were holding hand b/c they were in the parking lot.

Our Little Man is 3yrs old!!

I can't believe how fast 3 years has gone. Brayden is such a good little boy. He's full of mischief and adventure. Every night after Brayden goes down for bed, Joel and I talk about how amazing he is. He's using such adult little phrases and says the sweetest things.

Friday was his big birthday! He wanted a Monster Jam birthday and so I made him his cake and when he saw it he told me, "Mom, this is the most awesomest cake ever, good job!". Although it wasn't my best he loved it and that's all that matters. We had quiet the exciting day. At 4pm guests started to arrive. We started out with Moster Jam tattoes, moved outside and decorated pumpkins, jumped in the bouncy castle, ran around, ate pizza and spaghetti, cake and ice cream, opened gift......exhausted!!! We didn't really plan on getting as big as it did. And thank GOD the weather was an impeccible, 75 degrees! We had 20 kids (including my 2) and probably close to 30 adults!! Yikes.......we went through 6 pizzas,3 packs of spaghetti noodles, 24 garlic breads and 1 1/2 cakes! Crazy, Yes! But it was a lot of fun and Brayden told me how much fun he had at his home. We might do it again...we'll see.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart! We love you so much and thank God everyday for you!~ You are a true blessing!

The trick candles were a hit! Thanks, Nana!

Avery's 11 months old!

My Little Goofball! She loves putting things on her head.

Avery is such a sweet little girl. She's 11 months old and walking, talking, climbing,and lighting up our lives with her sweet little smile. Here are some pictures of the last week:

Is this a glimpse into our teenage future?? Busted! Wasn't me, Mom!!

Beautiful Fall!

Saturday we headed to the mountains to see the beautiful colors. We ended at the Moffatt Tunnel and into Nederland. We were trying to get some good pictures with the kids but it just wasn't in the cards that day. Within 10 minutes Brayden was a little pig pen and Avery was so tired that all she did was cry the entire trip. We still did manage to get a few good pics in. The best news of the day, Miss Avery took her first steps! She was so cute!! She took her steps and was so proud of herself that she couldn't balance very well. Good job, Sweetie!!

Brayden had to be the leader on the trails!
