Fall FAVES

Here are a few of the many Favorite things of mine that we do in the Fall. 

Jumping in the Leaves! 

There are so many memories doing this as a child and I love to see my kidlets have so much fun doing it too!!  We only have the two kids to rake leaves for...My dad was raking leaves for hours of fun for all 10 of us, but of course he never complained or seem to get tired. I think Ry and I were tired after the first few rakings. 

Mr. and Mrs. Bones

I LOVE bone jammies!!! It gives us tons of glow in the dark giggles...the best part is the headless dancing that goes on in the dark!

Our Annual Pumpkin Paint-Off

We started doing this the first year that we had Kayla, we thought it was fun for her to paint and a lot more safe then carving. We always have Kayla judge who wins out of Mommy and Daddy and I always happen to be the winner. (I painted the cat)

Pumpkin Carving Contest

I can't wait to have carved pumpkins out in the front yard...the yummy smell is the best! Once again we have Kayla judge our pumpkins and of course I am the winner! Ry carved the headless horseman and Sawyers skull and I carved the haunted haunted house and Kayla's cat.

Pumpkin Patches

This year we went to a few Pumpkin Patches and Bates Nut Farm was our favorite, it was so awesome! 

  

Halloween Time in Disneyland

Two of my favorite things...Halloween and Disnyland, can it get any better then that? Even Better...spending the day with my family in this enchanted place!

Making and Decorating Sugar Cookies

Whenever we would decorated cookies when Kayla was little she would put her hands in front of her and wiggle her fingers back and forth (like sprinkling shredded cheese on a pizza) and say "Sprinkles". She never was into the frosting as much as she was into putting a ton of sprinkles on each cookie. Sprinkles are still her favorite thing, they just don't end up on the cookies anymore.

Sawyer had so much fun spreading the frosting all over, we replenished his supply every couple minutes but it still wasn't enough. By the time we were done he was covered and so was everything around him within reaching distance.

Carmel Popcorn

Every year when I was little my mom would make the most Yummy carmel popcorn. It was always so fun to do, Mom would drizzle the carmel in cold water and we would eat spoonfuls of the carmel to "test" it to make sure it was good. Of course it was delicious but we would have to taste it at least a few more time to make sure. Kayla and Sawyer had spoonfuls of their own while it was in the making, they couldn't seem to get enough of it!

My Creative Husband

Ryon just decided to make a Haunted House out of cardboard and it turned out really cool! He always has such fun and creative ideas.

My Family

Fall is my favorite time of year and with it comes so many fun and excited feelings, emotions and memories! It was 7 years ago that I met Ry and we went on a Haunted Hayride and spent such a fun weekend with his family.(it was meant to be, meeting my favorite person at my favorite time of year) So everytime Fall gets closer not only am I looking forward to so many fun activities but I always think of how lucky I am to have met Ryon and to have him in my life!! Without him we wouldn't have these two Blonde haired, Blue eyed Babes! 

Our Haunted Halloween

GO BIG RED!!!  

 

Herbie Husker, Lil' Red, The toughest football player Nebraska has ever seen (besides his daddy), and the most Drop Dead Gorgeous Cheerleader.

Our Trick-or-Treaters!!

We had such a fun Halloween Party with our friends...Since you probably don't recognize them because of their killer costumes...Tommi, Russ, Noah, and Grace (not pictured, she was spent after all the trick or treating fun), Steve, Liz, Trey, and Mason.

Don't drink the punch!!

We had bloody bandaged fingers and eyeballs for appetizers. For dinner we had chilli in bread bowls, cornbread, and veggies.

Bones, spiders and more eyeballs were fun sweet treats.

Happy Halloween

Beach Babies

It is fall, making beach days much more chilly especially for our babies. We had to take one last "swimsuit" beach trip before the beach becomes to cold.

We had such a fun day and Sawyer kept putting sand in his mouth and didn't even care...he just kept shoveling it in.

Our little Mermaid... Ryon makes the beach so much fun for Kayla!!

Diva even had fun!!

Family Pictures

A few weeks ago we had our family pictures taken at the beach and we decided to take a couch along with

us. I think that the pictures turned out fun with the couch as a prop.

I love sunset at the beach! 

I keep looking at my "babies" and I can't believe how big they are! I wish they would stay little forever! I love my sweet little lady and little man, they bring me so many laughs and smiles all throughout my day! 

Sawyer's Stats

I forgot to let everyone in on Sawyer's big debut...he was born three weeks early (thanks bud!) on March 21, 2009. He weighed 7lbs 4oz and was 19.25 inches. 

Mr. Sawyer Ryon Bingham

I am a Mommy all over again!! Two weeks ago I was a fat and sassy Prego woman that loved my baby bump so much, I loved every hiccup, kick, and punch. Any time I would feel my little man moving around it was as if everything around me no longer mattered...I had a healthy and strong little boy growing inside of me. 

I was once again AMAZED at how so much can change in a second of time in a delivery room.  I was blown away by the instant unconditional LOVE that I felt the moment that Sawyer was born. Even though we have only spent a little over 9 months together (most of which I could only dream of seeing his face) I love this little guy so much and I can't wait for every second of fun and laughter that he will add to our little family. 

It has been so fun to have Kayla helping me every time I need anything, she tells me what I am doing wrong or what Sawyer does and doesn't like. She knows everything! It seems that she went from a three year old to a teenager once we brought him home from the hospital. She seems smarter, more mature and so HEAVY. 

I am so grateful for my sweet husband who does EVERYTHING for me, Kayla and Sawyer. It is almost as if I have fallen in love with him all over again! I love to see how patient and loving he is with Kayla and the transition she is going through. I also love to see my huge husband holding his teensy Sawyer, it really is histarical to see. Whenever I look at him I am reminded of how lucky I am to have my best friend for my husband and how blessed we are to build our lives together with our two beautiful and healthy babies.
