Pumpkin Patch

 

We went to the a pumpkin patch this year to pick our pumpkins. There was a corn maze and tractor ride and a lot of fun photo opts.

We met up with our friends the Ramsey's for some dinner after picking the perfect pumpkins.

Gardner Village

 

Tyson took the kids to Gardner Village to see the witches without me this year so I could do some homework. I hate missing out on fun family traditions.

 Our Ward Party

 

Claire's Preschool Halloween Program

She was adorable! Shy and silly!

She insisted on being a lady bug for this occasion so we went with it. 

I love her independence!

 I love this sweet and spicy girl!

Halloween

Claire likes to surprise people with her scary face.

Ava got to help Ms. Nixon lead the Halloween Parade line. Can you tell she was excited?

That night we put our pumpkins out and went trick or treating. The girls were really into it and could have gone all night but Tyson and I pooped out.

Having a one year old is so fun and those first few months of being one are filled with many "firsts". Here are just a few outtakes of some firsts for Talmage this month and some of the fun he had with his sisters (or the fun his sister inflicted on him).

 First Fudgsicle and Ava the Helper

First and so far only forward facing care ride.

 First sucker after 12 month well child check and shots. He loved it!

 The kids were playing house and they put Talmage in his "crib" to play. It was fun to see Ava coax him over there and shove him under. He didn't seem to mind and he played right along.
