Happy Birthday Calista

Calista and her cousin Carson turned 3 last week! Since they are

less than 24 hours apart we have celebrated there birthdays

together. It's so fun to have them so close! I always like to try

new things for my kids birthday cakes, so I decided I wanted

to try my first fondant cake! I got my sister in on it so she made

Carson one too. It was a very time consuming project, but it

was fun! I have to say it didn't turn out quite like I had hoped,

but it turned out okay. If anyone is wondering if it looks lopsided,

it is! I wanted to off center the two tiers, but then I wished that

I hadn't and just worked with it! The party was a success and

everyone had lots of fun! I still can't believe my baby is 3!

The birthday kids!!

make a wish!!

Home for Halloween

In my last post I said that we hadn't been home on a weekend

in almost two months. Well after 2 1/2 months we were home

at last!! I thought that after school started in August things would

settle down a little, but in our case it just got crazier!

This year we went to hurricane to this fun street! Its really

is cool, they close the road and almost every house is decorated

with spooky things, music was playing and everyone is dressed

up. There were a few haunted porches that the kids had to go

in to trick or treat. They had so much fun! We will probably go

there again next year, if we can.

SCARY STUFF!

Ready to trick or treat!

Monday night we went to Grandma & Grandpa

Browns house for family night. The kids carved

their pumpkins and played some games.

The kids got these cool suckers so they were

showing me how scary they could be.

there was smoke in the air from the outdoor

fire pit. sure makes for a spooky picture!
