Fall Fun

We had lots of fun in Fall 2009. Here's a sampling of some of the things we did...

A visit to Lombardi Ranch to pick out our pumpkins

Josiah and Micah had lots of fun playing on and in the large pumpkin


Ashlyn wasn't too excited about the Pumpkin Patch. But it was at the end of a week long fever and not feeling well, so that probably had something to do with it.

Joshua had a blast sitting on the back of the fire engine, playing with the hay!

Ashlyn was finally pleased when she found a little pumpkin to hold.

The animals were a big hit with all of the kids

Luv u cuz!

The highlight of Ashlyn's day was a nice cold slushee

The kids enjoyed running around Scarecrow Alley, even Josh and Ashlyn

Micah sure loves to spend time with his cousin, Josiah.

Ashlyn enjoyed the addition of a pillow to her bed this fall.

Here the kids are enjoying a fun morning treat!

Barbara and Erica
It was a joy to be part of Erica's wedding planning this fall. From showers to invitations to early morning Starbucks chats, it was a blessing to be part of all of it!!!! Thanks for including me Erica!

The culmination of assembling and addressing over 400 invitations!!

Micah has had fun with all of the crazy Sparks events this fall. This particular night was crazy hat night. Micah was clever enough to find this hat all on his own. He called it his drum hat, and he carried around a drum stick banging it while on his head. Yikes!!

As a family we enjoyed Menchie's free ice cream night. All you had to do was print off their silly hat and wear it into the store for 12oz. of free ice cream and toppings. We hope they do this again next year!


Ashlyn is getting bigger and bigger. She discovered how to push a chair over to the sink so she can "help" with dishes. This is one of her favorite things to do!


Mich and Daddy had fun making Micah's car for the Sparks drive-in moving night.

Ashlyn has discovered other Mama's shoes and loves to wear them around.


We had a great time with the Sedy family during our Harvest Party

We carved pumpkins

And had so much fun pulling out all that ooey gooey stuff!

Ashlyn and Zachary were quite content to play on the stairs

Next came the donut eating game. Who knew it would be so hard (and fun) to eat a donut swinging on a string.

Ashlyn decided it was much easier to just grab the donut and put it in her mouth!!

Bobbing for apples was the next activity.

Ashlyn thought it was great fun to stick her face in the water!

Micah liked it too! But unfortunately the bobbing ended with Micah when he bit into the apple and his loose tooth got even more loose (along with some blood to taint the bucket of water)!


By the end of the night the tooth came all the way out

And to finish off the night, the kids had fun outside with some sparklers

Brianna, Bethany, and Micah with their pumpkins

The kids and I traveled to Oregon for my Grandma's memorial service. Although they had fun on the plane, I was thankful it was only a 2-hour flight!

The kids had fun making a few Thanksgiving cards with finger paints



Ashlyn loves snuggle time with her Daddy!

We enjoyed having Josiah with us for almost a whole week! It was busy though, so I think this was the only picture we took.

Thanksgiving... we were so blessed to give thanks to God with some of our family and friends!

Auntie Vonna, Ashlyn and Dinanna

I love these ladies! I am so blessed to have them as a part of my life!

Ashlyn enjoyed her Thanksgiving dinner

The kids had fun in the attic with Daddy getting down all the Christmas decorations!
