Grandma's Memorial


On October 3, 2010 we lost someone that meant so much to us. Grandma Airplane or as Ryan called her Granny passes away. We miss her so much. Ryan misses his nightly games, playing cars or helicopters and the great hugs she always gave. You were so special to us Grandma. This weekend we celebrated her life. we did this in Cali at her home town in which she lived prior to moving to Arizona. That is where most of her friends and best memories are. We had a great time talking, laughing and crying about the past.


About 60 close friends and family all came.
I got to see my best friend and introduce our daughters to one another who are only 11 days apart. You like the outfits? my mom thought it would be cute to dress them alike the first night so she gave theses to us for the girls.

Halloween

Halloween this year was so much fun. Ryan had so much fun going door to door. Even if it was only 6 or so houses. We did our annual everyone come over hangout, eat chili and pass out candy. It works out so well. I wasn't sure if Ryan was even going to dress up this year. We started off with a cowboy costume and ended up a construction work. It took a lot of talking to get him to wear a costume even. I was about to give up and just let him be a 3 year old. But once he saw his friends dressed up he got into it more.

I just can't get enough of her!!!

Preschool Party

So today Ryan has his first school party. Fortunately I was able to volunteer. It was so much fun. They got to make pumpkins and witches on popsicle sticks, decorate cupcakes, play outside, play games and of course read and sing many songs. It was so cute. I am so bummed I forgot my camera but I did manage to get a few on my cell phone.

Ryan showing me how he waters their garden. They have so many things growing right now.
Ryan doing what he loves....sliding down the pole on his way to a "call," just like daddy!

These didn't come out great but it was so cute watching the kids sing with there spider hats on.

Freeman Farms

We decided this year to try something new for a pumpkin patch. We left Friday night and spent the night in Prescott. And then woke up Saturday and drove to Chino Valley to Freeman Farms. It was a lot of fun. It was just fun do something new this year. The kids got to do so much-corn maze, hayrides, train rides, petting zoo, merry go round and of course the pumpkin patch. The weather was so nice too. I wish I had my camera Friday night at the hotel pool. It had so many fun things for the kids to do. And the best part was it was all indoors. We will definantly be going again. Sorry for the picture overload. I just couldn't narrow it down.


Crazy family picture!!!
