A Halloween Party

We had a small Halloween dinner party with some close friends of ours. We enjoyed, soup, salad, rolls, and some of Kate's fancy desserts. I was able to snap a few pictures in between holding the babe, playing games, and enjoying our company.

The Pumpkin Patch

Our annual outing to the Country Mercantile for pumpkins was a blast as always. We enjoyed delicious food, fun tractor rides, animals, hay bales mazes, pyramids and more.

Athen had a blast searching for just the right pumpkin. I told him I wanted a white one, he found the perfect one.

Today I was inspired by my SIL Emily to play catch up... So enjoy your reading while I take a shower, feed the baby, and take a nap.

"Do The Puyallup"

This year our family of four enjoyed our annual outing with the Dormans to the Puyallup Fair. We had an entertaining time enjoying the animals, food, & rides. This year was definitely an experience for Athen.

The Dormans :: The Harris'

Jackson :: Athen

As we entered the barn to see the cows we heard a loud scream. It was Athen. We thought maybe the stroller or his cousin Jackson had pinched him. Nope, he was terrified of the cows, he jumped out of the stroller into Tim's arm screaming to leave... We calmed him down and then he really enjoyed the animals.

Afraid to get an airbrush tattoo :: he settled for a sticker

Athen on the Motorcycle ride :: giving us his thumbs up ::

half way around the first time he lost it and cried the rest of the ride. Is it sad to say that he had all the adults in an uproar of laughter from the expressions on his face?

Athen sure enjoyed the Giant Slide and climbed all 100 stairs to the top himself.

Grandma & the boys

Tim & Brandon on the Wild Cat Rollercoaster:: they rode it 3 times

Birthday Surprise

We headed to the west side this weekend to surprise Grandma Dorman for her birthday.
