Halloween candy

Last night was Beggar's Night. Candy was on all of our minds! I guess that's why Austin forgot his joke and his flashlight and Ryan was ready to come back after 1 hour rather than 2 like he originally planned. Kaylee gave out candy to 40 kids this year and we had more left over than usual. Now what to do with all this candy! Ryan, don't you have a candy dish at work?

Pumpkin patch

I love this time of year! It's sad to see summer go but the fall season makes it all worth it. We've really had the perfect autumn weather this year to enjoy the outdoors a little more. We took a trip to Patch's Pumpkins & Honey Farm with some friends and their kids. I strapped Alexis to me dressed in her pumpkin costume and she slept the entire time.

We all had a great time riding the hay rack ride, picking pumpkins and taking in the beautiful day while the children enjoyed the fun activities. They played in the bounce houses, rode the cow train, ran through the straw maze, pet the farm animals and played on the playground. It was a full day!

1 month

At 1 month old Alexis is cooing like crazy and smiling a lot. Her daddy can get her attention just by coming into the room. She looks all around for him when she hears his voice. Austin gets right in her face when he talks to her. She doesn't seem to mind. She really loves listening to his stories. He told her all about balloons today and showed her how he likes to throw them in the air. He's a good big brother and is good at putting the binky in her mouth when she cries. Or telling me that the baby is crying and I need to feed her. Well, I don't have to feed her everytime but he thinks so.

2 weeks old

Alexis is growing so fast! These cute pajamas she has on in this picture don't even fit her anymore. I'm already having to raid her closet and get all the newborn sizes put away.
