Pumpkin Painting

This year I thought it might be fun for the kids to paint their pumpkins instead of carving them. Neither one of our kids is very excited to "pull out the guts" and are bored when "we" are carving their pumpkins. So I thought why not paint? Well it was a hit! The kids had a great time. We did it at Great Grandma's house in the back yard.....yea for very little clean up! So until they are big enough to do it themselves this might just be our new tradition!

Joseph's new toy

Well Joeseph finally got a motorcycle, as you can see he's as happy as a little boy on Christmas Day. He's talked about his desire to have one for a few years now. He finally found the style he wanted at a great price so now he is the proud owner of his very own Yamaha Classic. I'm not very crazy about the idea, but how can you not be happy for him when he can't stop smiling. I'm glad he has something that makes him so happy, what will make me happy is if he can keep himself from getting killed :)

Here are the rest of the pictures

Pumpkin Patch

Last Sunday we went on our annual pumpkin patch trip. We really like going to Hillcrest because the kids love their train and big swing. We had a great time, now for halloween! Enjoy the pictures.

Thomas the train....oh I mean Amtrack

Today Joseph's parents treated the kids to a ride on a "real" train. Tyler and his cousin Isaiah LOVE trains. Mostly they know about Thomas the train, but any train will do. So today they got to ride "Thomas" to Hanford and then we walked to Superior Dairy for lunch and fabulous ice cream. If you've never been you have to go at least once. So after filling our bellies we boarded the train back to Fresno. It was the perfect trip! Thank you Gramma and Papa for a great day!




I love Tyler's expression...priceless











Who doesn't smile when having yummy ice cream?
