Halloween Party

Cousin Katie hosted a Halloween party for the kids. The kids played pass the pumpkin, pin the nose on the pumpkin and played. The kids had a lot of fun. We each brought goody bags and the kids were able to go around and trick or treat. She also made a fantastic dinner! Thanks Katie.

Write from Katie's house we went to Avery's pre-school Harvest carnival. All she cared about was getting her face painted. Avery was a butterfly princess and Kasen was a knight.

I think they actually did a pretty good job.

Pumpkin Patch

Pahrump's Pumpkin Patch! An organization was raising money for disabled children so we thought it would be nice to donate and also fun. The kids had a blast picking out their very own pumpkin. Kasen of course wanted a big one, Avery wanted a cute one, and they thought Kamden needed the tiniest one they could find.


They had a maze made out of bails of hay, Big tall mounds that the kids could climb and jump off of, petting zoo, hay rides and the fire department was there giving tours of the fire trucks.

80's Murder Mystery

We were invited to our friend Erik's 3o b-day party. It was a 80's murder mystery party. We had a lot of fun finding and dressing up in our costumes. I was an 80's Valley girl and Nick was Mork from the show Mork and Mindy. ( Most of us thought he looked like Billy Ray Cyrus). It ended up that Cyndi Lauper murdered Crocodile Dundee. It was fun!

Roos N More

My mom took us to a zoo out in Moapa. The owners are husband and wife veterinarians. We were thinking it might be a little hokey but after going it was the best petting zoo I have ever been to. They let you hold almost every animal there. There was not many people so my kids got an enormous amount of time with the animals. Avery couldn't get enough, and Kasen was a little more apprehensive. They had a really cute monkey that the kids held. He liked to play peek-a-boo in Avery's shirt.

It was really neat for me as well because the variety of animals were huge. They had animals that I have only seen in pics like the armadillo. As soon as Kasen held it, it would roll in a ball and when he put it on the ground it would open. I noticed that they had really hairy legs. Kam didn't really want to share his stroller with the monkey and kept giving him the evil eye. The camel they had ate a carrot right out of Kasen's mouth. He just started to laugh.

This place had goats, tortoises, otters, guinea pigs, kangaroos, Zebra, Zedonk, opossum, monkeys, animals that I can't even pronounce their names. The trainer sat the kangaroo down and lets us see in the pouch and feel it. It was so cool. I could ramble on forever, but in short we had and amazing and fun experience with the animals.

Kamden 1st Birthday

Kamden 2 weeks 6 months

I can't believe it has been 1 year since my baby was born. Time has gone by so quickly. I love the baby stage and wish I could bottle it up and save some for later. I love this little guy and our family has been blessed to have him. He is very happy and loves to smile. Kamden enjoyed ripping the paper off his presents and playing in his cake.

Kams favorites: Kasen making him laugh, playing chase and peek-a-boo, mommy rocking him to sleep, saying uh-oh, throwing his sippy cup and laughing, making high pitched screeches, waving goodbye to people, and getting into EVERYTHING!

Kams least favorite things: NAPS, car rides

Kamden loves to be in on the action and just follows Kasen and Avery around. He is taking a few steps, but is much faster at crawling. Kams is funny and loves to tease. I have cherished every moment spent with you. I love you! Happy 1st birthday!

Harvest Festival

Avery performed at the Fall Festival, and was cute as ever. After she danced we went over to the carnival and rode some rides.

Kasen only rode a few of the little kid rides this year. We ran into Avery's little friend Alina and she rode rides with her and had a blast. I was not able to get a lot of pics of Kasen because he was riding the rides that went SUPER fast. His favorite was this one that he had to lay on his stomach and his feet and legs were dangling. It made my stomach turn just watching it. The kids had a great time and the next morning we enjoyed watching the parade.
