Things have been pretty crazy around here! The month of October was a busy one for us! Look below to see what we have been up to!
Here is a picture of Kennedy from September, sooo cute!
And here she is again with a big, happy smile! She is such a happy, sweet baby! She smiles a ton and laughs a lot too. She loves being tickled on her tummy!
At the beginning of October, we went up to northern Arizona to visit my family. we got to go apple picking and made/canned a bunch of applesauce. In the above picture you can see Ben with Grandma by the apple trees. Below, you can see me with Kennedy picking apples.
Here is Kennedy smiling really big for Grandma!
In October, we also went camping with my family up by Payson in the Tonto National Forest. Benjamin had a blast being outside all day. Although it was a little chilly, we bundled up both kids really well and they slept just as well as they do at home! Above, you can see me with Kennedy as we went for a walk and below you can see Ben hanging out with his dad by the campfire.
In October we also checked out the carnival in town. Benjamin got to eat a Funnel cake and a big pretzel. He also went on his first carousel ride with Dad. You can see him in the picture above. He was too scared to ride one of the carousel horses, so they hung out on the bench.
And here is Corey with both kids as we leave the carnival. Kennedy was a good baby and didn't mind the stroller.
Here is another cute picture of Kennedy! Such a happy girl!
Towards the end of October, we took Ben to Dewitt Stables in Mesa. Ben went through the hay maze with Corey.
Ben also got to check out the petting zoo. He was fascinated by the goats and sheep.
We then went on a wagon ride to pick out a pumpkin. Ben needed help from Corey to carry it.
Here is Corey and Ben carving the pumpkin once we got back home. Corey did most of it! ;)
Here is the pumpkin all done! So spooky, right?
Here is Kennedy all dressed on Halloween day!
And here we are as a family for Halloween, all ready to go trick or treating. Corey and I were graham crackers, Ben was a Hershey's bar and Kennedy was a cute marshmallow, so as a family we make a s'more! Ben really liked getting all the candy, but wore out after about 40 minutes. And then of course, the next day his diet consisted mostly of candy!
And finally, we ended October by signing Ben up for an intro to sports class for little kids. Here is learning the basics of basketball!
Kennedy will be 4 months old in 6 days! I cannot believe how quickly it has gone by. She is so big now and Benjamin is getting bigger too. They both keep me busy! Corey has started a new job, which we hope will be a good fit for his future career and I hope it allows him to work a little less. It will be nice to have him home around 6pm instead of as late as 7:30 or 8:00. It also means we will be staying in Arizona for now, which I don't mind. Gotta love all the sunshine!
