Fall, Fun and Family

For the Halloween weekend, we drove up to Wichita to visit the Amey family and had a great time playing with cousins, playing in piles of leaves and trick-or-treating! The boys are still a little young to actually play together, but the girls have lots of fun!

Pam and David

Wyatt with Mommy

One of their favorite activities to do at Grandma and Grandpa's house is to spin in the office chair. You can tell by Lila's hair that they reach some pretty good speeds!

Hang on tight!

Now it's time for Kaelyn and Britton to spin.

Fun times.

Kaelyn and Britton helped make sure Wyatt didn't go too far on the stairs. (He LOVED climbing the stairs!)

We spent at little time at a nearby park, then we went home and piled up the leaves for jumping.

Britton - almost 6 years old!

Kaelyn - almost 4 years old!

Lila, 3 years and 3 months

Rachel, 3 and 1/2 years

Stuffing leaves into a pumpkin-face bag

Wyatt didn't think much of the leaves. He preferred to be held by Grandpa.

That night we went over to Brian and Pam's house for supper and trick-or-treating. While we were waiting for supper, the girls decorated plastic bottles with stickers for pumpkin bowling.

Wyatt found a sit-n-spin toy.

When it got dark, we went trick-or-treating to just a few houses. Britton dressed as a bride, Lila was a mermaid and Kaelyn was Babar the Elephant. Ben and Wyatt dressed up too - and handed out candy at the door.

David was a lion and Rachel was Cinderella.

It was Lila's first time to go trick-or-treating. This was her expression the whole time! I'm not sure she knew what to think. When we got back home, she finally said "trick or treat!" to Ben (she didn't say anything at the other houses).

After trick-or-treating the girls played with some play-doh.

Time to say goodbye.

Halloween 2009

The Jolly Green Giant (Ben), his helper Sprout (Wyatt), the Chicken of the Sea mermaid (Lila) and the Sunmaid Raisin lady (Colette). I put an image of each food mascot below our photos. A huge thank-you to Ben's Mom for her help in making our costumes - we would not have looked half as good without your help!!
