Pumpkin Patch!

Last weekend we met Grandma and Grandpa Carlson at a VERY cool pumpkin patch. There was SO much to do and to see!!!

Fun things to play on and play peek a boo with daddy through!

A VERY neat hay ride we went on.
It was a little cold, but it was sunny as can be!

"CHEESE!"

We even got to see giraffes!!

and TONS of other animals too, but the giraffes were Grace's favorite!

The girls went through a corn maze...

and one of their main highlights, they rode ponies!!!!!

Isabel holding on for dear life!

THANKS Grandma and Grandpa for coming with us. We had SUCH a fun time and it was extra special having you there with us to share in our fun!!!!!!

and inside where you can see their smily faces a little better!!

Halloween Cupcakes!!!!

The girls LOVE making things, especially sweet treats! We have made halloween cupcakes twice in the past few weeks. And they just HAD to be the very popular halloween colors,

pink and purple!!We frosted them, and then of course had to sing happy birthday...

I LOVE Grace's sweet face as she looks as Isabel and sings...

Round two...

This time, they got a little more into frosting the cupcakes (and their mouths!)

and then we sang again...

our car rides home

We are looking forward to a weekend around here after traveling the past three weekends. We love going away, but we are excited to do some things around here this weekend. Here are a few sweet pictures of the girls I took during our car rides the past few weekends.

Asleep holding hands. SOOOOOOOO sweet!!

and mirror images of each other!

Isabel

WOW!!! What a little beauty!! (even with food in her mouth!)

monkey see, monkey do

One day I looked over and this is what I saw...

They had gotten all the diapers, wipes, and hair things out and were changing their babies and making them look pretty. They LOVE to take care of their babies!!

They even need their nails cut every once in a while!!

bath time

I don't even remember what one of them did to make me think to put her in the sink for a quick bath, but of course, I put one in, so the other had to join in on the fun! They LOVED it and have lots of fun playing with each other.

Fall Fun

In addition to the exciting engagement this past weekend, Greg, the girls and I had a fun time enjoying a huge orchard just down the street from my parents house.

Isabel saying "cheese!!!"

They had a few fun rides, so of course we had to try them out! We went on the cow train...yep, Grace, Isabel and I ALL went together. The girls LOVED every minute of it!

and they waved

and waved,

and waved,

and waved to their daddy the WHOLE time, yelling his name as we went!

Then we went on an amazing hay rack ride.

all the apples...

Silly Isabel

Sweet Grace

TRULY a perfect fall day!
