Pumpkin Walk 2011

We continued our Halloween tradition and went to the Syracuse Pumpkin Walk on Friday night. My mom and her friend walked over and met Jon, the boys and I. This year they didn't have lines so that was nice.

My adorable pirate and parrot

Someone spooked the parrot

We started off by getting our pictures taken by the sign.

Weston had to pose by the pirate pumpkin

Isn't that the cutest tail you have seen?

So sweet!

Weston's 5th Birthday

Weston turned 5 last week. He has been wanting to have a race car/Cars party for the last 6 months so that is just what we did.

Here are the invites we sent out:

If know me and have seen other birthday parties I have thrown you know I go OVERBOARD but hey that is what mom's are for right. Here are the decorations for the party. On Saturday I went to pick up some last minute food and couldn't resist this balloon. I had to get it for my boy who LOVES balloons.

For the first time we got a cake from some where other then Dick's market. We got it from Winegars. Needless to say it looked great. Didn't taste so great. We will be going back to Dick's next year.

Since it was a car's theme and Weston's room is decorated in cars theme all I had to do was steal his decor. Here is the mantel I decorated.

This is the table where I put the cake the next moring.

Weston was VERY spoiled by all his generous guests. Check out his loot pile.

These are the cars I made out of boxes for our race car races.

Our first activity we did was the kids made license plates.

Here is Weston and his best buddy Ashton. Also check out that cool table his Grandma got him from a yard sale right before the party.

This is Braxton and my Casey Roo they are the future best buddies.

Our friend Trisha brought her 10 week old Tellame, and Cason was in love with her. After I got to hold her he wanted to sit and hold her. Trisha was sweet enough to let him. After that he wanted to be by the baby's side the whole time. I think its time for a sister hint hint Jon. :)

Auntie Kim had given this old raincoat to Weston months ago that Sean had used as a firemen costume. Well Weston left it up there over the summer. Auntie Kim fixed the tear and added:

These awsome rainboots and umberalla to match. He loved it. Go Auntie Kim.

Weston's license plate. I love the face ha

Presents, YAY!

These are a racers post race.

The racers getting ready to race. (YES, I do dress Cason) Weston refused to use a car. It was so funny but he was second to win and he started crying because he was so worried he wouldn't get the GOLD medal. Poor boy.

Here is Weston singing Happy Birthday to himself again in his own cake and ice cream.

Cake time.

The next day Weston dressed up Cason. Don't you love the tough guy look?

We had a great party and I am thankful for those of you who were able to come celebrate with us. I still can't believe my baby is 5 years old.

Labor Day 2011

For Labor Day weekend we went to Jon's boss' property at Swan Valley, Idaho. We had so much fun roasting marshmellows, eating, visiting, shooting guns, four wheeling, four wheeling, and four wheeling. Its always fun when we go up there and so beautiful I just wish it wasn't 4 hours away. Enjoy the picture overload.
