Hailee's 1st Birthday!

Jocelynn's friend turned one and we went to her princess themed party! She really enjoyed the cake!

Jocelynn thought the bouncer was very relaxing . . .I think she almost fell asleep :)

Here are the kids from the party!

Here is Princess Hailee with the princesses in front of the castle!

Here's Jocelynn in her dress. I changed her once we got there so she could play.  We can't believe you are one! Happy Birthday Hailee!

What we've been up to. . .

Today I had to wake Jocelynn up from her nap because she went down later and I wanted her to go to bed early. She was still tired so she was relaxing on the couch with the puffs for a long time. I thought it was pretty funny because sitting still doesn't happen often!

This past week we were busy cooking. Rachel got this apron for Jocelynn last Christmas. Jocelynn loves it, notice the pocket is full! She loves helping mom cook! What a big girl!

Jocelynn's cousin, Christian, turned 3 last week! Happy Birthday Christian. There were 10 boys and 2 girls, Jocelynn had a blast! She didn't want to leave so I left her there with Katrina, thanks Katrina!

A couple more pictures . . .

Mellissa and Shelley also came (cowgirl, and superwoman)! Thanks for coming!

Costumes!

Saturday night was my first Halloween party! It was a lot of fun but also a lot of work! I decided to post three separate posts of the night because I had so many pictures! We had a great time! Here's all the people that came! Thanks for coming and sorry many of you couldn't make it! You missed a great party! :) (Jessica and Keven, I missed taking a picture of you guys somehow)?

Games!!

Gummy worms in flour. Jessica got the most gummy worms out the fastest! She was the winner! I don't think I will play this game again because two of us were choking and my mom got flour in her eyes! :) It was so much fun  . . . even if I couldn't breathe!

I made a pinata with candy and 10 one dollar bills! Dave got $8.  

The guys seemed to be a lot better at this then the girls! Whoever took a bit of the apple first, without using their hands won! Tyler was the winner!

Eyeballs and flies were in spaghetti. Each person was timed and you had to get the most flies!

Decorations!

It's hard to post everything but this is just a little sample of all the decorations. This was the best part!! The decorations is what makes the party and sets the atmosphere. Spooky music was playing outside and you walk through the side to the backyard. In the dark it was much better because lights were going off!

Witch's Brew!! You have to have this at a Halloween Party!!

This is the side where everyone walked down to enter the backyard! The backyard had RIP signs in the grass, cobwebs, Frankenstein lumineers, and scary people everywhere!

This was hilarious! James, Keven (brother in law), and my sister were sitting in the front like dummies. There is one dummy, can you tell which one?? They would scare people when they would walk by! So fun!

If you look closely there are little spiders everywhere on the rocks also!! It took us 3 hours Friday night and all day Saturday to decorate. Thanks so much mom and Jessica for helping! I really could not have done it without you!

Pumpkin Patch

These pictures are in reverse order but that's okay! We went to the Pumpkin Patch Friday and it was so much fun. There was so much to do and to see. My sister in law, Rachel is working there, taking pictures. The last two pictures she took! Thanks again Rachel!

The first picture the Turkey was getting a little too close to Jocelynn and it scared her. 

This is the Turkey that was eating off my hand. You could tell by my face that he/she caught me off guard. I decided to be a bumblebee this year. I haven't dressed up since before High School so it was a lot of fun! James was a bee keeper! He was a good sport and surprisingly, liked dressing up.   That Turkey was pecking my hand hard!! It took this ice cream cone right out of my hand, that's when Jocelynn got scared!

Jocelynn liked the goats. She thought they were funny. I think they reminded her of dogs.

Here's the good shot Rachel took of my little bee. Jocelynn loves her costume, which makes it even more fun!

James had a big bee on his back and a hat with bees all over it! We had so much fun!
