Lovly Leaves

I think the leaves in fall are so much fun. I wanted to post these fun pictures a long time ago back when I took then around Halloween, but my computer was having issues. I just want to give a shout out to Ryan. Thank you for helping our poor computer. It is working better.
I always liked playing in the leaves as a child. My brothers and I use to make trails and mazes and play tag in the trails. It was a lot of fun. My kids aren't quite big enough for that yet, but they definitely know how to jump in a pile of leaves like champs.

Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun this year we had a last minute party with some of our friends and then Kara and Jake invited some of their friends. It was fun to have a night without the kids. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from that party Kara was the photographer that night.

The sunday before Halloween we had a big Halloween party with Rusty's side of the family. All the kids had a great time. There were all sort of fun activites for the kids that Rusty's cousin had put together for the kids. It was fun to see everyone in their costumes. Above is a picture of Grandma Hughes with all her grandkids and Kara all dressed up in their costumes.

Jordyn had a lot of fun playing with Great Nanna and Great Grandpa Forest. She is such a love bug and will play with anyone that will show any attention.

Here is aour family in our costumes. For those who can't tell what we are, we have Indiana Jones, Bo Peep, a sheep, the Headless Horseman and I was a Ridell High cheerleader. This year a was feeling domestic and thought I would save a few bucks and make the girls costumes. I was very excited with how they turned out and I think I might give it a try again next year depending on what they choose to be for Halloween.

This is the cake that I made for the Halloween party. I was very happy with how it turned out so I wanted to show it off.
The kids had a really good time trick-or-treating. Some lasted longer than others. The girls had a great time going around in my mom's neighborhood. Alexis kept saying "I want another" so we would go on to the next house. But she didn't last too long once we met up with Carter and Daddy at home. We went around our neighborhood with the neighbor and that was a lot of fun.
