Halloween

The cutest pirate ever with Lady Bug. Lil Bug is getting over a fever and does not want to be in pictures.

Playing with the cousins before heading out.

Pirate Fifi.

I caught Police Officer Brody putting sprinkles on his Donut.

Go-Go dancer, Alice and a Bug. How cute are they.

Police Officer Brody so happy. Going crazy with his whistle.

Just about to head out.

Lily just standing in a daze.

This was a great Halloween. Brody's first time going door to door with his cousins. Clara really showed him the way. Brody would try to be patient while they were passing out the candy, saying "Excuse Me...Excuse Me....Mooove!" By the end of the night Brody's bucket was becoming equal to his own body weight, but sill wouldn't let poppa dump it. Lily only walked about 5 minutes and by the end of the night my arms were jelly. But I loved every minute of it.

The Egg Lady

Getting ready to head off too Debra's house. Or as Brody calls her "The Egg Lady." Which is partially correct. She is a lady and we do buy our eggs from her.

Once a week we make a special trip to Debra's home to get eggs from her happy, cage free chickens. Its a special time the kids love and I love as well. It reminds me of Iowa and seeing the kids so happy in turn makes me just as happy.

Our new thing is saving out table scraps and feeding it to Pig 1 and Pig 2.

We love seeing them grunt and gobble down our old food. No wasting in this house.

Walking over to see all the sheep, goats, ducks, turkey, and llamas.

All the animals are anxiously awaiting for their food.

Poppa and Brody herding the animals.

Smile for the camera Brody.

Yea, Momma is here too. We can't leave her out.

I think more than seeing the animals and watching the pigs, Brody's favorite thing to do at Debra's is to pick tomatoes in her garden and then eat them all before getting home. He has earned his nickname from her as "Tomato Boy" It's only fair. So here we have The egg lady giving Tomato boy tomatoes.

Yes those are tomatoes in his cheeks!

Our favorite big man "Jo-Jo" we love him.

Here is a close up of Jo-Jo.

I'm Sandwiches the Turkey.

Please pet me too.

Ok. I get the 2 finger rub.

Back out front to the pumpkins. Debra grew about 14 huge pumpkins and we were so lucky to get one from her.

She carved love into this one while it was growing.

Going to pick some more tomatoes in her secret garden. I absolutely love this place.

Goblin Garden

We finally made it to Goblin Gardens. With the kids in tow and my camera ready we're off to the pumpkins.

Brody finds the little car and wants to go through the kiddy maze with poppa.

Little sister is always wanting to do what brother does.

Finally made into our wagon and out to the Patch.

Poppa with kids in tow.

Momma was here too!

Lily trying to walk around the pumpkins.

Sitting down for less than 1 second. Enough time though for me to catch this shot.

Big Brother and Baby sister.

I love his Cheeses.

No smiles though from little bean.

We made in on the hayride. Brody was in heaven.

On top of the pyramid.

Little half smile from Lily.

Brody says "too heavy."

A great day with the family. Lets end it with some In-N-Out Burger!
