Autumn Leaves

We have this beautiful tree in our backyard that just dumped a bunch of leaves all over the ground. Ethan was so excited to rake them up but I said, no way, lets get some pictures in them first. Three weeks later we finally got some pics...

Happy Halloween

We're off to Neverland!

Happy 1st Halloween Austin! Doesn't he look thrilled? At first glance you may think that he is dressed like a lion, but actually he is a lost boy from Peter Pan, dressed like a lion. As you all know, I like to have family themes for Halloween and this year, inspired by Megan's sudden love of Tinkerbell, we were all characters from Peter Pan.

Thank you Jennifer for letting us use Kaelyn's Tinkerbell costume. Megan was so happy to wear it.

Here is my home-made version of Peter Pan... I did sew the hat myself.. thank you.

Not pictured is Joel and myself. I was Wendy and Joel was Captain Hook. We had lots of fun at out Ward Harvest Festival and then took the kids trick-or-treating around the block in our neighborhood.

I made 72 cupcakes in less than a week this Halloween season. For the school bake sale, Ethan's class and then the Ward cupcake walk. I decided to get a little more creative this year and this is what I came up with.
