Carving Pumpkins

On Monday for family home evening we carved Pumpkins. We had our friends the Salisbury's over to help. It's a good thing they came because we were not preparedwith the right tools for carving.

The kids weren't really into carving. It was more fun for the adults.

Yesterday we celebrated all the October birthdays for the Aplington family. There was Angie, Parker, Ashley, and Sydney. It was fun to see everyone. I took this picture of some of the grand kids. We were missing two of them; Easton and Seth. So there are 10 grand kids total.

Sydney, Tandi, Maggie, Ashley, Libby, Allie, Adam, and Parker

Here is Maggie and Tandi.

A fun Halloween Party!

On Saturday we went to a Halloween party. It was a Murder Mystery Dinner. It was so much fun. Everyone dressed up and here is our costumes.

I'm a Doctor and Heath is a lady in labor. As soon as he put that wig on I couldn't stop laughing. He got sick of wearing it after awhile and took it off. What a good sport. The only thing missing was some boobs. I know he wouldn't wear a bra, so I didn't even ask.

Happy 4th Birthday Parker!

We had a Halloween Birthday Party yesterday for Parker. The kids all came in their costumes and had a great time.

I made these spider cup cakes.

This picture cracks me up because Parker looks like he is missing a tooth, but it's really chocolate frosting.

All the kids at the party. The boys are outnumbered. Thank you for those who came and for making Parker's birthday special.

Happy Birthday Nate and Parker!

On Sunday we celebrated Nate and Parker's Birthday. Nate's birthday is on the 19th and Parker's is on the 20th. It's fun that they get to celebrate every year together. This year was extra special because Nate turned the big 30!

Snowman in October

Yesterday after church, Parker kept begging to go outside. Well after 15 minutes of playing outside with Daddy this is what happened. A snow man in October. Although he is quite cute, I hope he melts real fast.

Parker's Horse Ride

Last Friday Parker had another field trip. He got to ride a horse named Sue. Parker went right up to her and was ready to ride. I thought he would be little nervous at first, but he wasn't. Tandi on the other hand didn't want to be near her.

just some pics

I can't get over how fast these two are growing. They love to hug each other in the morning when they wake up and in the evening before bed. I just love it! I also know that someday when their teens and they can't stand each other, I will have to show them this picture to remind them of how much they really do love each other.

Tandi showing her sweetness.

My baby girl and me!

I love this picture because she has her arm around the back of me and she was squeezing me! She is so huggy and I'm sure part of it is because Heath and I made her that way. I'm always asking her come hug me and to give me a kiss.

Borther and Sister

I love to watch these two play together. And now that Tandi is older they like to watch movies together. I had to take a picture of them like this.

Nature Hike

Last Friday Parker's preschool went on a little hike for their monthly field trip. All the mom's came along too. We went up city creek and it was so beautiful! I love fall! The kids had a great time.

I think he is so adorable!

Soccer Time

So Parker started Soccer and he loves it! Yesterday was his third game and he scored three goals. The last two games he has scored 2 at each. He is definitely competitive and hates to loose. I think he gets that from his Dad. Anyway I am now officially a soccer mom. I love to scream and yell on the sidelines.
