Trick or Treat!

What a fun night we had last night! Allyson was dressed as Hello Kitty who was dressed as a Butterfly! She looked so ADORABLE! I was worried she wasn't going to keep the costume on, but she was totally into it! She was meowing all the way down the hill - it was super cute! We started the evening off by having my mom over for dinner. We then headed down the hill to Tom and Peggy's house and hit the houses in their area. I wasn't sure how Allyson would do if she would be scared or go for it? She has been practicing her "Trick or Treat" all month. She did so great, except she would not say trick or treat to the people handing out the candy, but would say it right after knocking on the door. She did say a very big THANK YOU after getting the candy in her bucket! She was SO excited to be getting candy from everyone.
We ended the evening at Tom and Peggy's house visiting with them as well as Mary, Tony, Ella and Parks. So here are a few photos from our night!

This one's for you mom!

OK, so this just shows how much Allyson pays attention to her surroundings! My Mom is a Reflexolagist and when she is in town, she always treats us with a foot rub!

So one day when Larry was kicked back in his chair Allyson decided to work her magic on Daddy! PRICELESS!!!

Lot's to share!

Well I guess I will catch you all up with what has been going on here!

First bit of fun new is that my dear husband found me my very own HOT ROD! We have been looking out (I should say Jim and Johnny) for a 1963 Ford Falcon Convertible for some time now. Well Johnny came across one on Craig's List up in Tacoma. So Larry headed off to take a look at her. Much to my surprise after Larry was done checking it out, he called and told me he made and offer! We found out the next morning that the offer was accepted! We headed back up to Tacoma (along with Johnny) and picked up MaMa's HOT ROD! I think Larry is looking forward to having another car to work on. The other night he hooked up the battery and we dropped the top down, I was giddy like a school girl! Ally thought that it was pretty cool as well.

Here are a few photo's of her!

Next, we had my sister and her family with us for a great visit at the end of September. It was so great to reconnect with her and just catch up. I got to meet my new little Niece Alysha and Ally got to play with her cousin Bryce. Allyson still calls for Alysha every day! Thanks Toe for hanging out with us!

I have been all decked out for fall around here for some time, but have a few photo's to share from that.

I used my circut to cut out the letter for the pumpkins in the wheel barrow. I used Prima Flower's cyrstals on the fake pumpkins, and Making Memory sparkle letters on the little pumpkins.

Next on the share is from today. I wanted to get my annual fall photo session at the lake. I almost waited to long. I took these photo's in the Japanese Garden on one of the Islands. Allyson of course was not interested at all and Larry was not thrilled, checking his crackberry every two minutes to see the football scores! But I wanted those photos!! I LOVE the one with Ally in the tree! OK, must sign off for now. Thanks for making it thru this long post!

Last years Pumpkin Patch Visit

So I have been scapping like crazy! Not only have I been busy doing Fall layouts, I have been creating something for my sister. Which I will share once I give it to her!

We had so much fun with the Johnson Family last year when we went to the Pumpkin Patch together. We met at a patch in Olympia. This is the layout that I came up with for it. Not crazy with how it turned out, changed it a dozen times, and decided to let it be!

Also posting some cute Hybrid Cards that I created by scraplifting out of the October's Paper Crafts mag. and finally a Hybid layout of my photo session with Allyson from last fall.

Hard to believe it is the first day of fall, I filled Allyson's p00l up with water so she could play in it today!

Halloween Village

Happy Fall!

I can't believe that it is FALL already! This is just my favorite time of year, the changing leaves, crisp evenings, trips to the Pumpkin Patch and Pumpkin Spice Latte's from STARBUCKS!

The best thing about this time of year - all the great photo ops. outdoors! Here is one from last year, that I added some digital elements to. Chow for now!
