Amy's 11th Birthday

Can you believe Aimers is 11???? She is a smart, beautiful, talented young lady! And we just love having her in our little family!
 Amy decided to choose a friend party again this year. She had an "Artist Party"
 They painted canvas and made duck tape flower pens.

 Fun, crazy group of girls!

 Of course, Amy's birthday would not be complete without Chuck A Rama!
 Tyler made her a birthday treat and the waitresses sang her a song!

 Then she doorbell ditched a gift to a "special" friend that shares her birthday with her. As we were preparing his gift for drop off there was a frantic knock at our door. The kids ran to the door and on the doorstep was a 2 liter of root beer and a card for Amy from him! Ahhh the giddiness! I think she had a great birthday!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

Christian's preschool class spent a couple of days learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin and they finished up with a visit to the pumpkin patch. he had never been to one before and just had a grand time. He was in awe of the huge field just full of so many pumpkins!


Different kinds, different colors and shapes!
 We were watching Crayton that week!
 
 

The Maze!
 They had been learning about pumpkins and their plant cycle. His teacher gave them a little scavenger hunt of sort to find different kids of squash and pumpkins in their different stages. He had a blast!

Witches at Gardner Village

We took our annual trip down to Gardner village to see the witches! This year we took a few more friends!


 
Amy the pitcher and Riley the catcher
 
 


 
This year we fully participated in the Witch Scavenger Hunt. The kids get a yellow sheet of paper with ?'s/ clues helping them to find 15 or so witches throughout the property. After they complete it they take their paper to the bakery for a free cookie. Christian was so insistent on finishing- who would have thought?!


 
This year we got to see some live witches and their costumes were spectacular!
 




 

 
Brigham, was so sweet to get up on the stage and dance with Jess.
