Candy Corn Toss

We love DMU!! The Thursday before Halloween the school Michael is attending held a Halloween Carnival especially for families with little kids. So we got all dressed up and had lots of fun. Cali liked ring toss, bowling and painting her pumpkin. I loved it because they handed out cute little toys instead of lots of candy!!

Halloween at the Zoo

The saturday before Halloween we all went to the Blank Park Zoo for their fun Halloween Night Eyes event. Cali loved seeing all the animals especially the lions, monkeys and the pink flamigos. But most of all she loved seeing her two favorite princesses Cinderella and Snow White. She also meet Clifford the Big Red Dog, went through a haymaze with daddy and matched her hand up to a lions paw!! It was a fun day, filled with lots of animals and candy. Bradford had fun but mostly slept silly little bear.

My Halloween Cake

Trick or Treat

Oh, the treats we have at our house!! I can't believe the candy and goodies we have...Yeah but you all know I love them. Cali and I are going to be so sick of candy!) Well, we had a great time with Halloween this year. Calista was Cinderella (of course) actually she is Cinderella everyday. I really think that her costume was a great investment-she has worn it everyday since we got it three weeks ago!! Bradford was a warm snuggly bear.

Pumpkin Fun!

So fall is in full swing here at our house we have played in and crunched the leaves, gone to a pumpkin patch and corn maze, decorated halloween cookies (thanks again for the cookie cuters grandma and grandpa! Cali loves them). And now we have carved our pumpkins! If you can't tell what Cali's is it is Blue from Blue's Clues.

Oh, My little snow angel

Bradford is ready for the snow!

How cute is this snow baby!

Snow days?

Well, it was a shocker to see snow so soon! But we sure had it Saturday morning. First thing Cali wanted to go right out side and play in it, so after hot cocoa and snowpants that is what we did.

Cali is super ready and excited for snow but I definitly am not. I soon will be if this is how early winter comes here. Everyone keeps telling us that this year is going to be a very long winter! We definitly need to get more warm clothing-or just plan to stay in our warm little apartment all winter.... Hope you enjoy the pictures of the snow!

Beehive cake

Well, my cake practicing continues! I love it and am going to try and do a cake each week! So this week I did a beehive cake. Of course I can't eat all this cake-Cali would LOVE to though, so I took it to church to share with the youth for their Wednesday night activity. I hope they enjoyed it.

More Bradford

Just becaues he is sooo super cute!!! Don't you all just want to come and hold him!!

All about Bradford

Well, my little one is four months old now!! I can't believe he is getting soo old...hahaha. Lets see he had dark eyes I think they will look like Michaels, no teeth-yet, dark hair-but that is falling out :( I think it is going to come back in light like Calista's hair. I love his dark hair so I will be sad if it comes in blond. Also, he is wearing 9 month clothes... the little hunky chunk! At the doctors office Bradford weighted 18 pounds!! No joke here, he is a little hunk! Bradford loved to smile and blow raspberries at me and to grab at toys. He doesn't roll over yet. Oh, and he still loves to cuddle. Oh, he is my little sweetheart!

Corn Maze Adventure

This past Saturday we took a fun break as a family and visited a corn maze! I know who would have guested that Iowa had corn! Hahaha. We went with a group of students who also go to DMU and their families.We had so much fun getting lost and running through corn. Cali even made a little friend!

First day of Preschool

Cali's first day of preschool!! I know I can't believe it either!! My little girl is growing up way to fast. But isn't she soo cute with her princess bag? She had so much fun at preschool she didn't want the day to end and she definitly wanted to go back the next day. Here is how her preschool works: five other mothers in my ward got together and are doing our own little preschool with our 3 year olds every wednesday morning. We learn recognition and sounds of letters, colors, shapes, social skills, we have a fun craft and theme for each month. It is really fun! I can see why Cali likes it.
