We had so much fun this year for Halloween. Even though it landed on a Sunday it turned out to be a 2 day holiday.  Saturday we went over to the Linthorst's house to trick or treat. The rain was heavy but we fought through it and within an 45 mins it cleared. The kids had so much fun! Isaac couldn't get enough of knocking on the door and saying "trick o treat". Sunday we went over to Coleman's families house for dinner and indoor trick or treating bedroom to bedroom. It turned out great and the kids loved all their prizes. Brooke was a trooper in her ladybug costume. And Ike loved his fireman rain boots even though they were too big! I can't wait for next year when our little Brookie is walking! 



The Radford cousins, Ethan (skeleton), Hannah (firefighter princes fairy), and Ike firefighter.

Just have to leave you with pics of my little babes!

I caught Isaac outside with his tool box pretending to work on his truck. I was loving every minute of it!

And Brooke being Brooke, this little girl always has a smile on her face!

My Birthday Boy!

My big boy turned 3 on Saturday and through him a Pirate Party. We had all cousins and friends over to join the fun. We had coloring, playtime, a scavenger hunt, presents, and cake. Isaac talked about his birthday at least a month in advance. He asked everyday if it was his birthday and of course I always had to let him down gently. He got everything a little boy could dream of on his birthday. I just can' get over how big my little man is!

Scooter from Aunt Hailey and Aunt Amelia! He has been driving it around the house everywhere he needs to go! Oh and can't forget his super tricks on it  too!

I thought this picture was priceless. He couldn't stop smiling when the cake came out and everyone was singing Happy Birthday so loud to him!

Cute Boys!

Most of the gang!

Oh and I was so excited about my decorations. I made these cute pirate flags to hang around the room! Isaac is actually still enjoying them because I can't reach them to get them down, lol!

Fall

This is absolutely my favorite time of year. Especially here in Utah. I love having a cool, sunny day and seeing all the leaves turn color. And of course my favorite holiday being Halloween. We went out to our favorite pumpkin patch and picked out all our pumpkins this past weekend. Isaac sat on every tractor and we went on a hay ride. We are looking forward to Halloween and can't wait. This is the only time of year when I let myself splurge on all the chocolate. Gotta Love it!

Mid Smile!


Little Brookie loving to smile.

Oregon Trip

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to go back to Gresham for a family/friend wedding. We debated driving the long drive but in the end decided to fly with tickets cheap and not having to deal with a potty trained 2 year old and a 8 week old little girl. We got there Sept 23rd and stayed a full week. Of course the first 3days were strictly wedding events and organizing but got to enjoy a little bit of family time with each of my parents. We stayed with my dad...which was so gratefully appreciated. It worked out so well with two kids. I bet they were screaming for joy when we finally left to get their peace and quiet back. We were lucky enough to be there for two great events. Our good friends Jay and Heather had their darling little boy Oscar on Friday and it was so much fun to see them with the new addition. Isaac got some good playtime with Gwen and Sawyer. He couldn't stop talking about Sawyer after we got home and playing mailman. The Sunday we were there was my dad's birthday so we celebrated with dinner and a movie. Thanks to Page and Wes being there for the wedding also, they tended the kids for us. It's been along time since we've seen a movie just the two of us. We also got to spend time with my dad and his fiance Susan..we are excited for her to be part of the family! We love visiting back home and seeing all the familiar faces, especially on Sundays when we get to go to church with my mom. It was a great trip and had a lot of fun with everyone!














Of course can't forget an update on Brooke. 11 weeks this week and she's my chunky little girly!

Brooklyn's Blessing

At the beginning of September we had the opportunity to bless Brooklyn in our ward. It was such a perfect day, I couldn't have asked for anything better. We are so grateful for all the family and friends involved in Brooklyn's special day. We love you all!

My favorite visitor!

My bff Beth came to town at the end of August. It was so nice to have her there with her adorable little boy Beck. It was much needed girl time. She help me get so much accomplished, blessing dress, announcements, and family pictures. I haven't felt that productive in quite awhile. We were lucky enough to have her take Brooklyn's pictures and our family pictures. They turned out gorgeous and we haven't stopped raving about them since. We miss her and her Little boy so much already and can't wait for our next trip together. We had so much fun and can't thank her enough for all she has done. Here is a sneak peek at her gorgeous pictures!
















Isaac is already missing his new friend Beck!


I can't get enough of this little boy..he is going to be a lady killer. Look at those eyes!

Family Comes to Town

We were so excited because a week after Brooklyn's arrival, all the Linthorsts came to visit. Dave and Erin came into town first, following my mom, and then Ange and Richard. Trev came later that weekend. We had so much fun having my mom stay with us and having all the family over all the time. It was much needed family time. The new cousins finally got to meet and play. We also were able to fit a few activities even though I was quite distant with the new baby. We miss everyone already.


Frank got out his climbing gear and let all the kids repel down the tree. Ike loved climbing the ladder but wasn't sure about the repelling part.










Ike helped me make chocolates one afternoon!


Linthorst cousins finally all together!








Can't forget a picture our little Brooklyn!
