Happy Halloween Cousin Style

This was a special year for Halloween.  Mamma planned a special get together the Sunday before Halloween for all the cousins.  She even made special arrangements for all the kids to visit the neighbors for some trick or treating.  With the special handy work of Mr. Walter, I have a fun video to share.  Enjoy!


Hope you have a fun HALLOWEEN!

A Sea of Orange


Whoa, has this been a busy October!  It seems that every weekend has been spent on the go.  However, we did manage to capture a few family memories along the way.




Earlier in the month we took a trip to the pumpkin patch.  This was Brooke's first real trip to the pumpkin patch and we were excited to see her play.  Grandma Claudia and Grandpa S. joined us for this family adventure.













We took a bumpy tracker ride out to the pumpkin patch.  Morgan wants to make sure I'm close by but Brooke on the other hand wanted a seat all to herself. 


















Lucky for us we went to the pumpkin patch early in the season and the fields weren't very muddy.   This also meant we got a great selection of pumpkins.

Brooke was a little hesitant to venture out on her own.


Grandpa came to the rescue to bring her closer to us. 

So many good pumpkins it was a challenge to find the perfect one!  If you can carry it, you can take it home is our motto.  Well, I suppose that only applies to the kids.  Casey always carries my pumpkin for me.


Hey, doesn't everyone go to the pumpkin patch with a tiera on? 

Another first for the this weekend was Miss Brooke's first pony ride.  She spotted these guys almost the minute we got there.  I wasn't sure if she would actually get on, but she did and LOVED it!











Morgan is a pro at riding the pony.  I can only imagine she is making a plan as to how she can have one at home. 






















Some time feeding the goats is always entertaining.














 And last but not least ICE CREAM!!
