Fall Fun Picture Round Up 2009

Fall. My favorite time of year. I love everything about it. Sweaters, honeycrisp apples, soups, staying in, being domestic...speaking of which, those of you that know me, know that I DONT bake. So when I baked my first peach pie, it was photo-worthy event in my life!

And with Fall, comes Football! Cade LOVES watching football with dad.

True beaver fans.

We have loved watching the leaves turn colors...here we are heading for the park and stopping often to stare at leaves...

Cade and Dad take a break from swings and slides to let me take a picture.Here we are on a family hike through Silver Falls. Cade walked alot of it so here he is rehydrating.




After our hike we decided to drive into Mt Angel for some Oktoberfest brats and beer. Here is a little video we shot of Cade:

At the Pumpkin Patch

Here are Cade, Olivia, and Wes hanging in the patch.

Our sweet little pumpkins :)


Here is Wesley, feeling a little introspective.

Ava telling Cade secrets. Ava just turned 1 and we had a fun time celebrating her birthday at the pumpkin patch.


Cade was obsessed with the super slide at Lee Farms.

FALL HARVEST PARTY

We had so much fun hosting a fall harvest kids costume party that we just might have to make it a tradition! Here is Ava, aka Snow White.

All the kids were so cute in their costumes. Props to Sarah for making Parker's Charlie Brown costume. It was just a cuteness parade.

Great shot of sweet victoria's baby lady bug wings.



Ava, Galit and her boy Abie, and me.

Cade had a great time playing with his best bud Evan. They hid out in the game room together for much of the party. These boys are going to be trouble (wait a sec... they already are!)

Here is my good friend Ashley's son Reed, giving me his "flirty" look...so cute.



Chris trying to corral these little pals.

And finally some of the party details (all taken after the party, so all very much disheveled :)

Cupcakes and stuff.

Ati Pam's Birthday Party

We had a fun birthday dinner for my sister Pam at one of her favorite restaurants, the Alexis.

As the birthday celebrant, she wore the pirate hat of honor. We each decorated a birthday stick for her and she read them aloud as we waited for our Greek deliciousness to arrive.

Apu and Cade.

Finally, one of our new traditions that we started this fall, is going out for sushi train every Friday. Cade is really getting into sushi. Here he is enjoying a house tuna roll.

Hope your fall is happy and filled with fun!
