Sissy turned 24

Marisa turned 24 last week and we celebrated with a Halloween party. We had Gladis' friends over for cocktails, dinner, party hats, candy and cupcakes! Mia loved it so much!Here is Mia in time-out on the video monitor for getting into the candy too many times!

The relatives came.........

Last weekend my Grandma, Papa and Aunt Jami came to meet baby Ryan. We had a great time, we went to the pumpkin patch, played dress up and watched Mia entertain everyone! We miss them already and wish that they would come back :)

Pumpkin Patch with the Nennas

On Saturday we had the Nenna's over for some Halloween fun. First we went to the Pumpkin Patch (for our 7th year running) It was great with fun activities for everyone :)












Then we came home for dinner (mummy hot dogs)

Then we had Emy Rylee and Kobe over to join the fun! We made orange pumpkin shaped rice krispy treats for dessert.

Then we made these fun lanterns out of mason jars tissue paper and mod podge! It was a really fun big kid craft found on ourbestbites.com. Beware mod podge is really stinky!



Do I even need to comment on this picture?????


Playing catch up....

Mia is such a great helper......she sat here and cleaned this for 30 minutes! She is HIRED!!!!



She thought that Ryan holding lil Ryan like this was so hysterical.



We had our new play-group over for a play-date and Mia help me make these spider treats



So easy to make: Oreos, pull apart twizzlers, white frosting and red hots.

Blackmail!!!!!

I will seriously be using these pictures as blackmail when she grows up!!!!!




look who is 1 month.......



We were so lucky last weekend to have our second family come and visit! Ellie is just growing and changing so much it was awesome to finally see her in person. She is so much fun and has so much personality. It was also amazing to see my best friend (although we decided when we are done being pregnant and nursing we are going on a girls trip so we can have longer than a 2 minute conversation :) We took Emily Lori and Ellie to fall city farm and had a blast, the weather was great and the little girls loved the animals.


Here is my mom with the jack ass.......and little Ryan too.
We got to dig potatoes from the ground here is Mia helping my Mom carry the bucket







Sweet girls-although Ellie might want Mia to stop squeezing her ;)

Hay ride! (see Em, the girls will never know we didn't let them ride we just took their picture on it so it looks like we are Mom's of the year!!!!)
