Happy Halloween

This past weekend we went to Columbus, Ohio. Ronn went to talk to the Grove City UMC pastors. So they invited the whole family up for all there activities. We went to the Columbus Zoo. Sunday night they had Trunk or Treat. They had about 200 cars lined up in there parking lot. The kids had a great time! Tegan could not resist he had to pop a sucker in while he trick or treated. :)
Tristan dressed up as Yu-Gi-Oh, Tiffany is a Spy Kid, Tegan is a Ninja. I will have more pictures of our Halloween night later. :)

Picking Pumkins

We took the kids on an outing. First we went to Memory Lane Farms to check it out. This is a new orchard close to our home. Wow, it had the best apple cider!
We then headed to Jacobs Family Orchard. The kids had a great time!

They had a haunted house bouncer. I thought it looked scary to go into, but the kids had no problem.

The rule for picking out pumpkins this year was they had to be able to carry or hold it. If not we would have brought home the biggest pumpkins they had. :)
We ended the day with an old fashioned bottle of root beer. Homemade apple donuts, Carmel apples and our pumpkins. I already can't wait for next year!

The Kids New Fort

The kids have a new fort out in the woods.

I tried to get pictures so you could see how big the area is. It is a really neat fort, put together with brush and a tarp. Two large tree stumps are areas in their house.

I have loved watching the kids use their imaginations. I also love that they still need us for a little longer to be around and help them. I know the time is coming when they will no longer need us so close by.

Here's the little man. This is the mood he was in that night. He looks like he doesn't feel well. He didn't play with with his siblings. He more less just stood there. He helped daddy with the fire. He loves to help get the fire going.

Butter Anyone?

That's right when this little guy gets quiet he is usually doing something he shouldn't. In this case it was the butter. I had left a brand new seal still on the butter. I didn't think he could even open it. I was wrong. His skin is nice and soft now. :)

1 More Blanket

I need to add one more blanket. This is Tristan's other favorite blanket. He sleeps and wears this one around the house. Aunt Tammy gave this to Tristan at one of our Christmas's. I can't remember what year though. I think it was it 2004. He loves it! He has been asking me if I think Aunt Tammy will make him another blanket this year for Christmas. Hint, hint he would love another blanket Tammy.:)

Blankets

Blankets are a big part of our lives around here. This is Tristan's blanket, he became attached to it when he was just 6 months old. It was a gift at Tristan's baby shower from Aunt Connie and Uncle Tom. Tristan had recently misplaced the blanket and had everyone searching for it. He begged Grandma Oren to make him another one. It was hard to tell him it's not that simple. We did find it. It was in Tiffany's room.

Here is Tiffany's purple blanket. She attached herself to this blanket at 3 months old. This blanket Grandma Sorensen bought her.

Tegan has not attached himself to a blanket or anything. He has attached himself to me. :)So with his upcoming surgery I thought it would be a good idea if he had a blanket to help him through this time. We took a special trip to town so he could pick out a blanket. He thought this was a good idea. It was difficult for him to decide until he saw this one. He loves balls and once he saw this he loved it. I do hope this will help comfort him.

Pancakes
