Halloween 2011

This year, the kids all decided that they wanted to be superheros for Halloween. Cohen wanted to be Batman, Avery Batgirl, and Rylan was spider girl! Maely was a super hero butterfly!! (only because Mom had already bought the costume!). We went to our church the Saturday before for their fall festival and then Monday night we went out in our neighborhood. This year, we actually went in the back of our neighborhood because our area has only a few houses. We went with a group of friends and the kids loved it!! Cohen went with his best buddy, Brooks. They were so cute. Once they figured out that everytime they knocked on someones door it would result in candy, there was no stopping them. They would run to every door and if they could not reach the doorbell, they just yelled knock, knock! The older girls walked around with their friends and loved getting treats as well. They loved to make trades with each other so they were sure to get the treats they wanted. Maely also joined in with the rest. She wanted to walk like the rest of the group and get her candy herself. No Mommy helping her. Here are some cute pictures and I will probably make an album as well in my gallery!

The girls go to their first music concert!

Our sweet friends invited us to a Christian music concert. We both decided to bring our two older kids to see it. Brandon Heath and Brit Nicole were the singers. What better way to go a first concert and it would be a Christian one! We left at 4:30 so we could catch dinner before the show. We had a nice time listening to the music and dancing. Here is a picture of the girls outside the church.

Our Neighborhood Fall Festival

Couple weeks ago we had National Night our. This weekend our neighborhood had a fall festival. They had games, rides, and some foof for purchase. This time we just went up there and went some friends. It was not as fun as the last one we had, but the kids still had a good time. Here are some pictures!

We go to the Old MacDonald Farm

One of Cohen's friends had a birthday at Old Macdonald Farm so we went and had such a good time. The weather was perfect and each child got a pumpkin to take home since it was October. It is funny when I used to take the girls, they would always pick out the tiniest pumpkin take home. Cohen on the other hand wanted to pick the biggest one. Unfortunately they were all pretty small. Cohen also got to ride the train and a horse. He had a great time with his friend. Here are some pictures!!

National Day Out!

As part of National night out, our neighborhood had a National Day out where they had free rides, a helicopter, a firetruck, games, and food!! I took Avery and Rylan with some of their close friends. It was so much fun!! We were not expecting much but when we got there, they had a life-flight helicopter you could get in and then it took off right before our eyes. The kids thought it was so cool to be blasted with wind as it took off. The kids also got to get in a firetruck and jump in lots of moonwalks as well as get face painted. They had a good time and it was nice for Avery and Rylan to hang out with their friends!! Here are some pictures
