{Mary's Baby Shower :: Baby Maxwell}

Mary is my dear sweet friend and I am so excited that we are having babies so close to one another. Sweet baby Maxwell is going to be Mary's third baby boy. I love hosting parties and when Brady and I bought this house one of my favorite parts was the layout and how perfect it was for parties. We can't wait to meet you sweet Maxwell. 

 I had so much fun putting these flower arguments together. Fresh flowers make me so happy and look so beautiful. 

{Lyon Family Farm Take 2 :: With the Carr Family}

This family photo turned out WAY better than our first trip this year. We were lucky enough to get FREE bounce back passes so we headed back on a Saturday to play some more. Because who doesn't need to go to the pumpkin patch 3 times. The weather was AWESOME again but man I am sure glad that we usually don't come on a Saturday... it was a ZOO and we are not used to having to wait in lines to do everything. 

 The coyote mountain was a BIG hit again. 

 We made it into the corn maze this time and these crazy people of ours had a blast running and attacking the corn. 

 Feeding the animals.... they were pretty full because there were so many people here today and Ollie kept pushing handfuls of food in their faces saying "here here eat it" he was getting so frustrated that they would not eat it. 

 This was our first time holding chickens. They even caught them on their own.

Happy Fall Y'all 

We enjoyed every minuet of it. We partied hard and now I am ready for this baby to get here so we can slow down for a minuet. 

{Trunk or Treat :: Halloween 2016}

Happy Halloween!

We Want to Suck Your Blood!!! 

 My little vampires had so much fun at our ward trunk or treat this year. They did such a great job with all of the games and activities. 

 Seeing my tiniest vampire run and his cape flapping in the wind was the cutest thing you could ever see. 

{Eye Blacks}

We had black contact paper scraps all over as we were putting up our spooky fence and tree and the boys decided to cut out some eye blacks. Too much football going on in this house right now. 

{Witches Convention :: Halloween 2016}

 My little vampire. 

These witches on our porch were a new addition this year and the boys have LOVED them. Especially Ollie. He would walk outside and say "Hi witches!" and watch them for a few minuets and then say "bye witches!" and walk back inside. I am kicking myself that I never took a video. It was too sweet. It makes my heart happy that my boys love Halloween like me. 

 Too much belly here but what can ya do. I think the only thing that would keep me from hosting this party would be if I were in the hospital. I have hosted it with a 2 week old baby and now at 36 weeks pregnant. 

 So happy that Selina came down to party with us. 

 A few Witchy friends. 

I was super impressed most of the mama's came dressed up this year although by the time I got the camera out most had shed their hats due to it being SO HOT. 

 Sadly we didn't get a photo of us until the party was over and it started to rain at the very end so we are all sweaty and rained on and not as cute as we started out... 

Sadly this year I don't have very many photos because Tenly was not able to make it and she usually grabs my camera and play photographer for me while I run around doing all of the games with the kids. We took it a bit old school this year and played monster, monster, zombie {duck, duck, goose} you would be surprised how many kids had never played before and red rover - now that was a HUGE success for all of the kids. My boys said this was their favorite Witches lunch to date. Hearing them say that makes all of the work and tired feet worth it. We had quite a crowd this year about 15- 20 mama's and close to 40 kids I think.
