happy fall

happy fall from these two adorable faces.  we've been super busy lately…..hence the lack of posts.  here's a quick catch up post!

allie enjoyed her first pumpkin decorating party.  she loved painting finger painting her pumpkin then adding glow in the dark stickers.  

jake got to help with his very first jack-o-lantern.  he drew a face on his pumpkin and helped take all the insides out.  (his exact words were "this is disgusting.  i need to go wash my hands!")

 from left to right:: allie's pumpkin, daddy's pumpkin, and jake's pumpkin

i think they all turned out wonderful and we sure did have lots of fun decorating and carving them together.

what's halloween without a pumpkin quesadilla?!?!!!  

(i totally got "you're the best mommy!")

 one of our favorite fall traditions is going to asbury hills with my grandma's church.  

here is allie with her great-grandpa (pa let).

my mom sure does spoil allie and jake.  they went apple picking, on a hay ride, and to a pumpkin patch.   i'm so glad they get to have fun opportunities and get to explore new things.

one saturday afternoon, josh and i took the kids to aunt sue's (a marvelous ice cream place). we leisurely walked around and just enjoyed God's beauty.  

needless to say, fall is my absolute favorite season.  i have so much to be thankful for.
