Trick or Treat!


On our way to find a costume for Blu, we asked him what he wanted to be.  Immediately he answered, "Cow."  Honestly we were just hoping to find a costume that would fit him, since we were a bit behind schedule.  When we got to the store, we hit the costume rack.  There WAS a cow outfit, and it was the ONLY one in his size!  How exciting!  


Blu took to Trick-or-Treating quickly.  He wheeled right up to the people handing out candy, picked one from their bowl, and put it into his little bucket. 


Once and a while he would approach them, and then give them a handful of candy from his bucket.  Such a generous little dude!

3rd Annual Pumpkin Carve


The Pumpkin Carve this year was a great success!  We hosted it in our new house, where there was plenty of room for everyone to visit, eat, carve, and play. 




We enjoyed seeing the "Regulars" (Bing Bong, Pappap/Grandma Kate and Cole, Grammy, Auntie Alicia and Hayden, Auntie Jaz and M&M, and the Leathams) plus some special visitors including: Stephanie and her twins, new baby Justin and his parents, and Haylee's best friend Sryiah. 



Many great pumpkins were carved that day!

Roloff Farm


To prepare for our 3rd Annual Pumpkin Carve we drove out to the Roloff Farm in Helvetia to gather pumpkins.



The Roloffs are the members of the family in "Little People, Big World."  While we were there we had the opportunity to chat with Amy Roloff (the mom).  She took an interest in Blu and asked us a lot of questions about his condition.  


The farm had a petting zoo area where we fed llamas, goats, donkeys, and sheep. Blu was intimidated by the big animal lips on his hands, but he loved watching Daddy feed the animals.


There was also a creepy pumpkin family house.  As you can see, totally creep-ola!

A Morning at the Park


Playing at parks is one of our most frequent activities.  


Blu is getting really good at climbing and maneuvering around the play structures. 


Haylee enjoys "Challenges," which involve getting from one end of the playground to the other, without touching the ground.

Haylee's 10th Birthday!


Haylee entered the double digits this year with a fun celebration at Bing Bongs!





Daddy may have enjoyed Haylee's new toys more than she did!
