Halloween Toy Story Trio

 Happy Halloween! 

The kids have been so excited about their costumes this year! And to be honest, I've been pretty excited too! The kids love Toy Story! Nash's favorite toy is his Woody doll, if anyone asks Ridge what his name is he says Uz It-ear (Buzz Lightyear), and Brynlee has really been missing her Jessie doll that we lost at a campground so needless to say, the costumes have been a huge hit! I'm sure we won't be putting them away anytime soon!

 The boys were ecstatic that they got to wear their costumes to school. Ridge ran around pretending to shoot his laser at everything and Nash kept telling everyone "I Woowee"

 I love the boys preschool, their teachers are fabulous! Ridge is in the AM class and Nash is in the PM class so we they got double the fun since they both got to go to each others party!

 Throwing the Velcro ping-pong ball at the ghost was of course a favorite of these two

and so were the snacks!

 Nash can always use another pair of glasses!

 

 Wow! They even had slime bowls in the Sensory Table

  

Buzz Lightyear wants to have an arm like his dad!

 Brynlee also had a fun Halloween party! I only got a couple pictures of her because I had to stay at my station. She had a fun bobbing for a doughnut, making popcorn witch hands, reading a Halloween story, having cupcakes, and playing games! Celebrating holidays at school is so much fun!

 Let the Trick-or-Treating begin!

 We have some super spooky houses on our street! Brynlee and Ridge weren't too sure about all of the flashing lights, scary sounds/music and ugly decorations but it didn't even phase Nash!

  

Ridge gave it his best shot but didn't make it to most of the doors, Nash collected candy and helped his sister to be brave!

 Nash wasn't waiting for scaredy cats!

 Brynlee summoned up all of her cowgirl courage and got in and out as quick as she could!

 Once Nash got the hang of it he was on fire, running as fast as he could with his bag open from one door to the next!

 

If people didn't answer quick enough, they got a little peeping tom!

Brady and I have never had more fun trick-or-treating!

It was an awesome Halloween! And just for the record, Buzz Lightyear didn't like wearing his helmet but since his dad was wearing a hat he had to wear his too!

Preschool Pumpkin Patch

When the leaves start changing we get so excited for all of the fun fall activities! This year both of the boys got to go on the preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch as students. (Which means we got to ride the bus, how fun is that! Ridge just started preschool last week and loves it!)  Cutest boys on the bus!

   They started with a little cow ride around the field

We got to play on the playground

Jump on the bouncy pillow

And of course, pick pumpkins from the patch!

 This little punkin' loves pumpkins and he gives such a great cheese!

 Happy Autumn Everyone!

Going On A Bear Hunt

The pictures for this post really start at the bottom and go up. I got them on here backwards and can't get them to switch them around, but you get the idea. On Saturday Brady asked what I wanted to do. I said go on a hike. Somehow that hike turned into more of a bear hunt. Either way we had a great time!

Ridge is such a daddy's boy! He loves to imitate everything his dad does. Brady is so happy that Ridge is "taking hunting so seriously" at such a young age.

Well, maybe not he's not totally serious about it!

Nash was happy about the sand he found on the mountain

Who who?

For now we can still fit the whole family on the four-wheeler

Brynlee is a good little spotter too

Ridgie Roo wasn't too happy about sharing the binoculars

Peanut butter and honey always tastes so good when your in the mountains

Bryn kept herself entertained by teasing Brady

What cute boys I have!

Brynlee the slow speed monster

The boys loved being able to throw as many pine cones as they wanted down the hill without getting in trouble.

This was the "hiking" part where we walked about 200 yards away from the four-wheeler. =)

It's so peacful and delicious to hear the wind blowing through the trees and smell the pine. Glad we had a beautiful day to do it!

We didn't see any bears, but we did see some deer, elk, grouse, hawks and hundreds of butterflies!

We are blessed to live so close to these amazing mountains!

And here we are starting out on our adventure.

Ridge was reeving to go!

We had to test out the boys endurance in the meat packers before we went. They didn't last too long. Luckily we never had to use them, for the boys or a bear!
