Fall Fiesta-ing

Conditions were sub-optimal.  Despite aggressive resuscitation attempts, Jack O. Lantern perished at 19:47

Tiny horse, big hero.

Jayden waited in line 90 minutes for this pony ride.
"Totally worth it"

Best buds

Mommy said she was tired of drawing cows for Jayden, so she decided to draw her own.
Not bad.

Ready for the dragon roller coaster at Lagoon!

That was awesome!!!!

Carter got a little nervous about this dragon roller coaster.  Luckily he had Uncle Spencer with him to help him be brave.

Ahhhhh!

 Jayden was too scared to go into the trick or treating attraction, until she saw this 50s dancer.  Then she ran in and danced with her.

Ready to tackle this ride alone!

Frosting is the best part of cake.  Why bother putting it on the cake?

Carter got a "Creation Crate" for his birthday.
He's in heaven

Party time!

Building 3-D shapes.

"Can we keep him? Pllleeeease?"

This wasn't a one time experiment.   He did this over and over and over.

Dancing with her pal, practicing to be a "dance-arina."

May we present Princess Jayden.

Little picasso

Jay got this little apple seed stuck to her face.  She tried and tried to get it off, but kept rubbing the wrong part of her forehead.  Finally, Daddy saved the day and got it off for her.

Halloween time is here!

"I'm not afraid!"

Not sure what to think about this baby dinosaur skeleton.

This girl loves to sleep with her shoes.

No, seriously.
On her feet, in the bed; one pair, seven pairs.

Even sneaking into our bed, the shoes are a must.

Carter prefers gloves.

Reading books early one morning.

Colors starting to show at Bridal Veil Falls.

Great day for a hike

"Be very careful, Jayden.  If you fall down off the trail...you could die!"

Daddy:  "Hurry up slow pokes!"

Ta-da!

Thank you random citizen for taking our picture :)

Jayden loved this Dr. Seuss plant.
Hopefully it isn't poisonous because she thought it was soft and rubbed it all over her face.

She was very offended when Carter picked a yellow flower for her.
She wanted to pick it herself.

Tailgate picnic.
Say chicken!

Today at church they learned the importance of sharing.
Good job guys.
