Oh Christmas tree 2009

 
 
 
Last Saturday we went to cut down our christmas tree for the second year in a row. The kids love to do this. Well brett does anyways. It was 21 degrees and Analise wasn't liking it to much. We are glad we have started this tradition in our family. It is only 10.00 and the trees aren't perfect but they are unique in their own way. This year we took our niece Michelle with us so she could experience it with us. We always stop for doughnuts and then head into the forest. A good time was had by all.

Two cute kids

 
 
Grammy sent this beautiful dress for Analise's birthday, and so we had to take a pictue of it. the kids love going to church and getting dressed up. Analise is now even starting to sit in sacrament meeting and go to nursery, yea!

Halloween 2009

 
For halloween this year the kids actually wore there warm pirate and butterfly costumes since it had snowed. I bought the princess and knight costume but it was too cold to wear. So we dressed them up the day after and took their pictures. The pumpkins are the ones we picked at the pumpkin patch. They got some candy but not a lot. We were a little late going out. We had a potluck with the neighbors. We made homemade rootbeer, it was so yummy. then a lot of the houses were dark, maybe because it was icy and snowy. I slipped and fell on the ice but didn't break anything thank heavens.

A visit to grandpa and grandma's

 
After Analise's birthday we went to visit grandma and grandpa. The kids love going there. They enjoy being able to go to the park since the weather in the fall in Colorado is iffy.

Happy Happy 2nd Birthday!

 

It's hard to believe that two years have already gone by and my baby is 2. We had a small party with the Frazier's to celebrate. I made the ice cream cone cake for her. She got a few babies and carries them everywhere. She is really into opening things now so christmas should be really fun. We had ribs and baked beans for dinner. Those are 2 of her favorite things. Hooray for birthdays.

The great pumpkin patch

 
We went in search of a good pumpkin patch. We found a cute little one in Canon City called Diana's Punpkin Patch. You could pick you own pumpkin, go on a hayride, play in corn, and a corn maze. The kids had a lot of fun. them pumpkins were huge and it was really cheap. It was fun to spend time as a family.

It's autumn time.............

 
 
This year we went searching for the fall leaves, but didn't find too many. It had been really windy and a lot of them have blown off the trees. We found this spot near Lake george and had a picnic and the kids enjoyed cling in this old tree. There were also some wild donkeys that would just come up to the car and let you pet them. AThe kids thought that was fun.
