Halloween in California

Adam and John had a long weekend right before Halloween, so we decided to take the opportunity to go to California. (It was also our last chance to get out of town before the new baby.) We got to go to the pumpkin patch and Halloween party while we were there- and the kids always love all the attention they get.

Grandpa Peterson let the kids go on this ride. They were so excited and had so much fun!

The Pumpkin Patch

We started our own family tradition of taking the kids to this pumpkin patch to get our pumpkin for Halloween. We love that there is a ranch in the middle of Las Vegas and that we can feed horses, bunnies, donkeys, sheep, pigs, and goats.
Feeding the horses.
April loved that the horses name was Barbie.
John was nervous about getting on the horse. He told April that she should go first. After she did he got on and had a great time.
Katelyn got to ride a horsie too.
Hay ride.

Katelyn's First Birthday

I can't believe my baby is a year old. We had a nice family party for her.

April liked to help open the presents.
Hugs for the dolly.
She LOVES her rocking doggy.
Katelyn's cake to destroy. I made a separate cake for the rest of us.
Happy birthday to you!
I love the little Hitler-stash. Too funny!
Isn't technology great? We were able to share Katelyn's birthday with grandma's and grandpa across the country.
YUM!
Messy baby = Happy baby
