Carving Pumpkins

We carved our Halloween pumpkins last night. Even though Kiley didnt get to do much with the "carving" part, she still had a ton of fun.

Shawn's pumkin is on the left, mine is in the middle. It's hard to see, but my pumpkin says "one love" We didn't carve Kiley's small pumpkin.

Kiley's 3rd Birthday

Kiley had her 3rd Birthday on October 11. We celebrated with dinner over at Mom and Dads. We had Kiley's favorite, Spaghetti! She wanted cupcakes instead of cake. She ate 2 cupcakes (well, she ate the frosting off 2 cupcakes)



Dinner Guests: Mom, Dad, Me, Shawn, Kiley, Grandma Ford, Stephanie, Vic and Troy



Kiley got a whole bunch of gifts: V-tech reader, clothes, dress-up clothes and shoes, bath toys, movies, a homemade princess blanket (from Teri) and even a gift from Uncle Ryan...an alien from Toy Story. She also got a princess castle for her room.



I love this picture of Kiley kissing Grandma Ford to thank her for the Barnes and Noble gift card.

Thank you everyone for all the gifts and for celebrating with Kiley on her birthday.

Bates Nut Farm

We had such a good time last year at Bates Nut Farm that we decided to go again. We had Shawn's parents, Stephanie and Vic, and his brother Troy in town. It was pretty fun, but it got kinda hot.



Kiley searched and searched and finally found a pumpkin she could carry.



We went on a hayride and Kiley road a pony named "Cowboy" The whole ride she kept saying "you-ha" (supposed to be yee-ha). Kiley also painted a ceramic pumpkin.



I realized I haven't seen a picture of just Stephanie and her two sons. I suggested taking a picture of the 3 of them and the boys thought they were some sort of comedians...so I made them take a nice picture also.

Disneyland

Sorry this post is so late, I'm just trying to get caught up on blogging.
When Melissa, Mark and Ashton were in town, we went to Disneyland. Kiley and Ashton had a blast.

We went on a Wednesday and Thursday and basically walked on every ride. Practically no lines! It was a whole new experience taking kids to Disneyland. I'm used to going with adults/teenagers so I wasn't expecting to have to wait in line to meet all the characters, but Kiley and Ashton loved it.



We met Mickey Mouse!



Dad took Kiley and Ashton on Dumbo. not too sure Ashton enjoyed it, but Kiley loved it.



We got to meet Tinkerbell! We had to wait in line for 30 minutes, but Kiley was so happy. This was the only time she was comfortable enough with a character to get out of her stroller. She made me hold her, but at least she got out of the stroller.





Kiley's favorite thing to do was ride the carousel. She rode it 3 times while we were there.
She also got her face painted...just a little something to cheer her up when she found out she was 1/4 inch too short to ride the Matterhorn.
Thanks to Melissa and Mark for letting us crash your Disneyland adventure.

Bombs Away

Some people may not find this funny, and those people are probably calling CPS right now, but seriously, this IS funny. This is a game invented by my dad called "Bombs Away" Ashton hates the game, but for some reason, Kiley likes to play it.

I'm posting this video due to popular demand.

Kiley Jumping Rope....sort of

This is Kiley and her new jump rope. This is so funny it makes me laugh.
