nature Walk

Max is such an outdoors kid its kinda sad that he doesn't have more land to run and explore on so i told him we could go on a nature trail so yesterday after Church we went to mohawk nature trail and it was fun maycee bit of a slow poke because she sang as she walk " we go on a nature walk nature walk walk walk" all the way and max was the big man with dad leading the way max really enjoyed it and was really upset bc he didn't get to see a beaver bc i told him when i was a kid and went on a nature walk and saw a beaver but he had fun and we will differently be going on more! oh and on our way home we got see fighter jets land so we pulled over and watched them land it was really cool

halloween and pumpkin carving

I havent been able to post pics bc both the lap top and desk top have been sick but they went to the doctor and are much better so here are pics of halloween and our pumpkin carving maycee didnt like the smell of the pumpkin so she held her nose while max and i cleaned it out. i also learned that reason why my parents had us paint our pumpkins as kids because that craving stuff was alot harder then it looks.

Maycee was a witch are friend becky asked maycee if she was going to be a princess for halloween she said no i going to be a witch but i still a princess and Max was the every tuff Nijia we went to the trunk n treat at chruch it was both wards in our building so there were tons of candy and then my husband had me get extra candy for the trick treaters but we didnt get that many so we have tons and tons of candy! YIKES!!
