Leo's Birthday Party and Happy Halloween!

Birthday party in Philly and back home for Trick or Treating, what a whirlwind day! Leo's Bounce U party was a great time for everyone, we all got in on the big slides and bouncy houses. The kids all bounced themselves into a big nap!

Cousins!

Birthday Boy!

Loving the big slide!

Lauren made her own car.

Grandma was nervous, so Lauren took her down the slide!

...Aunt Marie too!

Cake!

 Now some trick or treating. After her 2 hour nap on the ride home Lauren was ready to hit the pavement and get some candy!! Boy it was cold too! Three layers, a fleece and a costume, plus we pulled out the gloves..now we're ready! Our cute little monkey!

"Let's go!"

"Trick or Treat!"

We found some friends to go door to door with!

Trying to hold up that tail!



Pumpkin Carving

We had a great afternoon for pumpkin carving and it was more fun because this is the first year Lauren is big enough to really help. She loved every minute of it...until we opened the pumpkin and found it was moldy on the inside. So we let Daddy clean out the yucky seeds and then we cut out the face.

Cleaning out the seeds from the lid.

 

"This is the scoop we use to clean out the pumpkin."

Daddy did the hard part.

Mommy and Lauren made a picture of Lauren in the driveway while we waited.

Lauren planned the face very carefully

All done!

Happy 1st Birthday Ryan!!

No more Baby Ryan! Ryan turned one and celebrated in style, at least in style for Lauren! She loves herself a DJ Dance party!!

It's my party!

Lauren and Maddy testing out Ryan's present.

They all found the box for Ryan's present to be way more fun.  Look at the muscles on Skylar!

DJ Dance party!!!

Happy Birthday, Ryan!

Colonial Springs 2010!!

Our annual pumpkin picking trip to Colonial Springs Farm was awesome as usual this year. And boy what a difference a year makes!! Last year, Lauren was just beginning to do all the activities by herself. Maddy was off and running and Ryan was just about a week old! This year Lauren and Maddy took off and hit the slides, corn maze and trikes like nobody's business! Ryan even got into the action a little.



Lauren and Maddy on the cow train. Somehow I think they will need thier own car next year!

 

She does it all by herself now.



Loving that horsey swing!


 

Out she comes...
