Birthday Girls & the Pumpkin Patch

Okay, so this blog needs some serious updating.  Since it's super late at night and I want to go to bed, we'll start with October.  Kaylee and I share "birthday week" together.  It's fun to have our birthdays close, it's almost like a week long party.   

Austin helped me blow out my candles.  Yes, those are making the numbers 2 and 9.  It's the last year of my twenties and it's going to be amazing!

Kaylee's lady bug cake.

Kaylee's lady bug smash cake & full cake.  It was fun to make!

The birthday girl loves cake!

She really dug in!

Her cousin wasn't quite as into the cake as Kaylee was, but it's the birthday girl's prerogative to eat as much cake as she wishes.  Spice cake and cream cheese frosting were apparently a good choice.

Kaylee sitting in her rocking chair reading a lady bug book, all birthday gifts.  She loved getting presents and still loves to play with, sit in, and read them.

Hanging out with my girl at the pumpkin patch.

Austin loved this "train" pulled by a tractor.  It was his favorite ride by far.

Austin & daddy went down the "noisy slide."  It turned out Austin wasn't much of a fan.

Austin rode a pony!

We picked a pumpkin fresh off the vine.

Austin sitting in a bunch of corn where he dug for small toys.  He loved it, but I guess he wasn't too fond of feeling corn between his toes.

Of course, Austin had to have one last ride on the train.  I think he rode it 3 times that day.

At the end of the month Austin helped us carve the pumpkin.

He liked to watch it glow in the dark.

We were Goldie Locks and the Three Bears
(Although we sort of looked like mice... maybe Goldie Locks and the Three Teddy Bears?)

Kaylee trying on her wig... made from tying thick yarn through the holes of a woven headband.  It was awesome! 
Too bad she didn't really keep it on.

My sis and her baby came to our ward Halloween party as Winnie the Pooh and a bumble bee.

Here's our Austin Bear all ready to go trick-or-treating!
