Carving Pumpkins!

We had Nana & Papa over to help us carve our pumpkins tonight & we all had so much fun!  Livvy is still a little unsure of touching the "guts" of the pumpkin but liked to scrape the sides & try to sneak the little carving knife...:)  Brady was really into it this year & he & Daddy did a really cool skeleton one & then he improvised on the pumpkin on the bottom that didn't turn out as planned by putting the "M" from my pumpkin in there so that was awesome!  Lots of fun memories made & we were so happy to have Nana & Papa there to share them with us this year.

I almost feel bad for Papa's pumpkin here...quite an aggressive stance!

Liv's 1st Haircut!

I took Livvy in for her 1st haircut ever today & it was a pretty fun little girls outing for us.  Jeff and I love her hair so much so I promised Daddy it would only be a trim, if that.  Just like with Brady, we had my friend & hair stylist Jamie do the honors--Liv felt really special sitting up in that chair & the little trim evened out the ends & looks really cute!

...And After! (I forgot my camera so had to take all my pictures with the phone...)

She loves giving "thumbs up" :)

Maze Time!

We headed to The Maze with The Johnsons a couple weekends ago & the kiddos had so much fun!  It was such a beautiful fall day and we all had fun making our way through the not-so-easy haybale maze, then Brady tried the reverse bungee & all the kiddos and daddys went on a little train ride through the farm.  It is definitely something we will do each fall (in fact we took our kids again on Sunday! :))

Maddy & Liv are pretty good little buddies--it's so cute to watch!  Each time Liv would run into a dead-end she would say "uh oh, we got a problem!!"

Our fearless leader

The picture is a little fuzzy but I was trying to catch his expression when we made it to the end!

Brady REALLY wanted to try this reverse-bungee deal which was awesome because he can be a little cautious sometimes--he had a blast on it & wanted to go again on Sunday.  Mama wanted to go too so we went together & had so much fun (no pictures of that though!)

Getting all strapped in!

Just like his mama--very attentive to the directions!

I love the look of anticipation here as he's starting...

Happy Boy

Family Photo Ops!

Stealing smooches

When we went back last weekend, a Chronicle reporter interviewed Jeff while Brady & I were on the bungees--here's the link to the article. :)

Happy Birthday Grammy!

In honor of Grammy's birthday today, I wanted to post some fun pictures of their Yellowstone Adventure with the kids while we were in Vegas!  Many, many fun memories were made on this trip & the kids have been talking about it since they got home! :)  The pictures are a bit out of order but very cute.

On their way!

Swimming at the hotel's pool the first night--Grampy looks a little outnumbered in there!

Stinky hot pots!

I think this is my favorite one

Kisses for Grampy!

We love you, Grammy & hope you had a great day!
