mmmmm..... cookies!

We had our annual sugar cookie baking day with MeMe today. Haley loves to make cookies, we usually frost the cookies and then let her decorate them, but this time we opted for less mess and just let her sprinkle sugar on the cookies before they were baked. She didn't even know the difference, ( and she still managed to make a mess!) the cookies are so cute and really good. I can't wait until Christmas so we can have more cookie making fun!

MeMe is very patient with Haley.
She was trying so hard to get it just right!

Pumpkin Carving

Haley and Ty got up early this morning to carve a pumpkin before Ty had to go out of town for the night. I, of course, took this opprotunity to sleep in. Ty was a good husband and took some pictures for me! It looks like they had a lot of fun.

I really don't think the 4 year old should have a permanet marker, and she has the black on her fingers to prove it :) They kind of look alike, huh?!

To put the finishing touches on the pumpkin, they went out and collected sticks for hair. Very cute pumpkin guys!

Halloween fun with the cousins

A couple of weeks ago Haley got to go to her Nana and Papas house and have a fun sleepover and go to a Halloween party with her cousins, Blake and Lauren. They had so much fun! They are finally all at a age where they will stand still for a picture and smile! They are so cute!

Apple donuts, pony rides and pumpkins....

Me, Ty and Haley went to Apple Hill On Sunday and had a really good time. It was the perfect day, not to hot or cold. Our first stop, of course was Rainbow Orchard for their famous apple donuts and cider. I think Haley ate 1 and a 1/2 donuts, and she loved every bite. It is so fun for me to see her excitement over a silly donut. I know it sounds wired, but my Grandma and Grandpa used to live about 5 min. away from Rainbow, so it was always a tradition for me to go and get hot apple donuts and just the smell of them makes me think of my Grandpa and Grandma. I love making those memories with Haley.
Haley thought this gourd was really funny to pick up!

Then it was on to our next favorite place, High Hill. We had to park way out in the apple orchard, but that was okay because Daddy got Haley a special apple out of one of the trees to eat on the way. It is so funny because the apple really wasn't that good, but you would of thought that it was the best apple ever. It just goes to show you that Daddy really is, "the apple of her eye"

Haley had a lot of fun there she made a beautiful candle and got to ride a pony, lucky girl!

One more stop at Boa vista, for pies and pumpkins. Haley picked 3 little pumpkins, which she calls, "the triplets" and one, "big sister" pumpkin. By then we were all exhausted and ready for home.



My stomach is so big that Haley can almost hide her whole face behind it!



she wasn't really unhappy, she was totally doing that for the cameras sake!


I can't wait to do it again next year!





Fun with Tim the Piano Man

I am a little behind on my blog, so I am going to try catch everyone up on some of the fun things we did last week.

On Thursday me and my Mom took Haley out to Quarry Ponds in Granite Bay to a event that was being put on by the Roseville Moms Club. They always put together a really good time! This event was to break a world record for the longest time to read out loud to a child. Brian Hickey came out to read Corduroy to all the kids, and they got to take a book home! That was fun to be a part of, but the highlight was Tim the Piano Man. If you haven't seen the piano man I would highly suggest it, he has great Cd's too! We had a blast! Thank you Mom for telling us about this and coming with us. Here are some pictures of the fun. They are not very good, I was sitting a little to close. If you want to see some better pictures look for Haley and my Mom in the Press Tribune....

We LOVE the Piano Man!!!
