Trick or Treating

I took these pictures after I posted the last Halloween post and thought these were really cute. They were so tired when we got back from Trick or treating.

Happy Halloween

This picture is suppose to be at the bottom, but for some reason I can't figure out this website. Hayleigh brought her pre school class to grandma's work to go trick n Treating to the people that live at Harvard Square

Happy Halloween! Hayleigh is sleeping Beauty and Gordon was a lion. I wanted Hayleigh to be Dorothy, but I guess she has her on opinion now, which I am not liking. Her Grandma Peck made her this really cute snow white dress for her Birthday, but she wouldn't go for that. She was set in her mind she wanted to be sleeping beauty. Lucky for me a co-worker gave me a sleeping beauty dress about 18 months ago, and I was so happy when I found it in the closet. I had forgotten about it.

This is Gordon and his really good buddy Daniel. We went to Grandma's work this morning and went trick n treating to the residents of Harvard Square. It is really fun to see the smiles on their faces.

Great Grandpa Barnard and Great Grandma Donna

My Grandpa and Donna came to Denver this last weekend for Jason's Homecoming. It was so fun to see them and spend some time with them. They haven't been here since Gordon's 1st Birthday. My Grandpa is one of the funniest people I know and taught me all of my basketball skills. Well some of them. It has been awhile since we played. I think he is afraid that I am going to beat him. We love Donna. We are so glad she is there to take care of our Grandpa!

I thought these were cute of Jordan, Tyler and Blake,
I just had to throw this one in, Gordon was laying on me and I thought he looked so cute. I love his eyes.

Pumpkin Patch

This last weekend I took the kids to a pumpkin patch. As you can see Gordon picked out the biggest pumpkin he could find. I actually bought him two because they were so small. I think the funnest part for them was washing them.








Grandma and Papa came with us, but thanks Uncle Jordan and Blake for coming too. Well Blake was tricked into coming. He was soooo Happy to be there. But he got a pumpkin out of it

Fall Leaves

Our favorite thing to do this fall is going to Papa's and Grandma's and playing in the leaves. I am sure my dad loves that he works so hard to make these big piles and we spread them back out for him. But the kids love it.

This last time, I bought some of those Pumpkin bags, so we could help clean up our mess. I think the kids had as much fun picking up the leaves as they did playing in them.

Welcome Home Jason!

My cousin Jason just got back on Monday from serving a 2 year Mission in Mexico. It was so much fun going to the airport to welcome him home. Here are the Winters/Garls that were able to go.

The Hammonds-We missed you Jeff and Tara, But I guess if your having a baby in a week it is understandable.- Kind of. JK
While we were waiting I took Pictures of Hayleigh and Luke. Here are a couple of them.

Dishes

My kids love to do dishes. Every Sunday at Grandma's and Papas, we have to do dishes as fast as we can, before Gordon realizes it. He loves to do dishes. But he always figures it out and wants to help. I guess I should be grateful, but it is such a huge mess. At least it is a Grandma's house and not mine. He does like the empty the dish washer for me at our house. I had to take some pictures to remind him on how much fun dishes are for when he gets older.

Grandma Peck Came to Visit

Grandma Peck came to visit us this weekend. We were all so excited to see her. All Hayleigh could talk about was the crafts that Grandma was going to bring. Friday was such a nice day we decided to go to the zoo.

The Denver zoo had two new baby animals a Giaraffe and a Zebra. The Zebra was the newest of the two and the mother kept it as far from the fence as possible, but here is a picture of the baby Giaraffe. It was really cute. So those that live here you should go check it out.
This last picture shows my two cute kids holding hands at the zoo. They have been so good with each other. I am so gratful that they have so much fun and get along. Hayleigh has been such a good big sister even though her brother is such a tease. It makes me smile every morning when Gordon gets so excited to see Hayleigh when they wake up.

Happy Birthday Gordon!

Today was Gordon's 31st Birthday! I asked Hayleigh what she thought we should do to celebrate Daddy's birthday. She always has good ideas. First she wanted to make him a princess cake. I had a long talk with her through out the week to make sure we were both on the same page that Daddy wouldn't be eating the cake, but he would love the thought. She kept saying "I know mom" But she really wanted to do it. Her and Grandma Peck made the cake and than She had this great idea to take the crown from her project she made and put it on top. So we truely had a princess cake.She saw a commerical for the circus and that is what we decided to do and then we went to Gordon's favorite place to eat. Texas Road house. The kids got Balloon animals and loved it! Over all it was a good day. I wanted to do something fun and I think we accomplished that. We are so truely thankful for our Daddy and to celebrate his life!

No more Diapers

Gordon is now offically potty trained. I am so excited. I would post a cute modest picture, but I broke my camera tonight. Hopefully I will get it fixed soon. I was going to just wait til he was three like I did with Hayleigh, but he has started showing interests, So I decided what the heck, I am not doing anything else. JK It was so easy to potty trained him once I forcused on it. He really did it by himself. I just kept taking him to the bathroom Friday and Sat. He never had an accident except if he had to go number 2. Even Sunday at church I decided I wasn't going to risk it and I put him in a pull up. By the time I got to my parent's house 4 hours later he was totally dry. I was shocked. Tonight he figure out number 2. So we are good to go. I am sure we are going to have accidents but No more diapers! Yea! We all celebrated with Ice cream tonight. It amazes me how fast he is growing up. He is talking so much. Yesturday Hayleigh kept saying she was a princess, and he kept saying back "No Hayleigh your a big girl not a princess" It was the dumbest aurgement, but it was very entertaining.
