Carving Pumpkins

The girls had a good time gutting and carving the pumpkins.  Addysen hung in there and participated the whole time, Ainsley lasted maybe about 10 minutes...

guts, EWWW! 

Addysen thought the innards were AWESOME!

The finished products!

Fun in the Back Yard!

This past summer we had a new swing set built.  This time we had the post set in concrete, so hopefully, this one won't blow away in any storms....  It's not quite done yet, but the girls are really enjoying it! 

our toothless girl!

loving her new monkey bars!

Swinging higher than the bar!

sisterly love!

she's a monkey!

I asked Ainsley what she was doing, and she said she was the mom watching her kids:)

Still working on becoming Taylor Swift!

When Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kelli came home in October, we got to meet the newest members of their family, Johnny and Gavin, for the first time!  They are very sweet, nice and special boys!  We are so happy that they are part of our family.  Since they were home for only a couple of days, we tried to spend as much time with them as we could.  We had a family dinner on Saturday night, a big wiener roast with all the family on Sunday night, and a pumpkin patch trip on Monday afternoon!  We all had a good time and were happy to spend so much family time together.

ready for our tickets Grandma!

It's too sunny!!! We can't see!

Addysen picked the smallest pony there;) - I think because the thought she was going to be able to mount it by herself, but there were no stirrups.

and Ainsley had one of the biggest, which she loved!

Addysen and Gavin ready for the cow train.  I think that Addysen enjoys being the oldest cousin and taking care of the others...

Anna and Ainsley ready for the cow train! They were going to ride together, but decided that they could do it on their own.

Getting 6 kids to all look and smile at the same time, is pretty much impossible;)  Good thing they are all cute!

Grandma Sharon and all her crazies:)

Johnny, Gavin, Addysen and Ainsley ( with popcorn in her mouth - typical Ainsley:) )

And Addysen found 1 too!

Me and my girls. I'm a lucky Momma!
