i never eat october snowflakes...

i don't know if fall has left us for good yet, but this is what we woke up to today.

needless to say, the kids were enthusiastic about it.

i'll miss you fall!

ah fall!

don't you love when the trees start changing colors? we get to look at this beauty out our front door. not to mention the beautiful mountains flecked with red trees. love it. thought you'd enjoy this mom.

we've done everything fall this week that we could do. we made halloween cookies to share with friends...

good decorating afton!

this is blurry, but you get an idea of how messy tucker's face got.

we made carmel apples...

and since we don't have apple hill out here, we made our own. we got invited to jordan's grandma's farm for apple picking.

tucker even brought one of the carmel apples we made so we would really feel like we were at apple hill.

i love this picture. tonight...apple pie!

mia's birthday part 1

because of her undying love of all things sweet, this year mia wanted a cupcake party. we had the party at a cute little place called chocolate dessert cafe. the girls got to decorate their own cupcakes. we made cupcake hair accessories for everyone to take home.

annie is happy. tucker is diving in face first.

cute friends.

this was only the beginning of afton's cupcake decor. i think she piped on another cup of frosting and added so many sprinkles you couldn't make out the color of the frosting.

i had kind of wished there was more...like gumpaste flowers and other demonstrations. but it was just pipe on some icing and add a few sprinkles and eat. had i known that, i probably wouldn't have gotten the room for an hour and a half. oh well. mia liked it.
