Happy 30th Casey!

Casey is my best friend from Newton. We met in 7th grade and I was her matron of honor is July.

Her great husband, Joel surprised her with a party on Saturday night. It was lots of fun. She was surrounded by friends and family, good food and an adorable and delicious cake!!

I hope you had a fun night and happy 30th!

The Morning of Halloween

Grandma Gwen gave Carter some money for Halloween when we saw her on Saturday (the day before Halloween) at Megan's baby shower. I asked Carter what he wanted to do with his money, and he wanted to go buy Halloween sprinkled donuts! So we all went on Sunday morning to the donut store. And yes, he got Halloween sprinkles on his donut.

Carving Our Pumpkin

Daddy and Carter carved our "happy pumpkin"- Carter did not want a scary one. Last year, he did not like touching the inside of the pumpkin. This year, he liked getting messy!

Ella and I watched while she had her bottle. She enjoyed wearing her comfy Halloween PJ's!

Megan's Baby Shower

Mommy and Ella headed to the baby shower

Her shower was so fun with a chocolate fountain and the most DELICIOUS cake!!

Megan, we are so excited for you and Dusty and can't wait for the arrival of Baby Colt!

Haunted Forest with Brody

Carter the fireman with Brody "Nemo" the fish

As we walked up to the haunted forest we saw a firetruck sitting out on display. A fireman came up and went on and on about Carter the "fireman in costume"...he invited Carter and Brody to come and sit in the firetruck and gave them a fire safety coloring book. Carter felt so special...

Meeting the fire dog

Carter's costume is reflective...so it glows in every picture! The Haunted Forest was in Lenexa at a local park. They had different spots through the walking path decorated and then little plays, puppet shows, or storytellers performed for the group to enjoy. I think it will be a tradition for us to enjoy each year. The air was chilly and really blowing, so Daddy and Ella stayed home. Hopefully they can come with us next year.
