How can you not!?
My wonderful husband goes right along with it ;)
I feel like my "inner-Utah self" has to be buying a pumpkin and wearing fall clothes!
Seeing people run around in shorts at a pumpkin patch just doesn't sit well with me! HA!
The nights are luckily cooling down slightly.. but days are still over 90 degrees here in Houston!
Needless to say, we waited until the sun went down and the weather was cool enough, dressed for fall for about an hour ;) and the boys were in heaven!



I say this every year but holidays with kids... THE BEST.
I will be honest and say that Aaron and I weren't the biggest Halloween lovers..
until we had kids.
Now because of them, the excitement of the season is totally getting to us!
I am 99 percent sure Aaron was actually having fun while carving a shark pumpkin with Ry last night haha! ;)

Luke walked around pointing to every pumpkin saying "ball!" while Ryan exclaimed multiple times,
"Halloween is the best day ever!"
Wait until Christmas buddy! Keeps getting better and better ;)

Our little Lukey turned ONE!!

Luke is the sweetest, BUSIEST babe and we can't imagine life without this little squirt! ^^

He's up and down and all around and you can likely find him with a bruise on his head at all times :)

Because we obviously love all things ocean over here...

I figured why not do a whale birthday!? 

So here it is.. "Our little squirt's first birthday" 

Navy and green is one of my favorite combos EVER so putting together this party just made me happy!

I always fail to get a good picture of all the kiddos who came to the party!
We have the best friends ever and I love their sweet kids!
I did manage to get one of cute Sawyer going at his blue candy like no tomorrow ;) ^^

If you have followed my blog for a little while now, you will remember Ryan's Shark Party from last year...
Low and behold this year came and I asked him what kind of party he wanted to have...
It came as no surprise to Aaron and I when Ryan suggested Shark Party ROUND 2!
SHOCKER!


I obviously wanted to do it a little differently than last year just to change it up a little :)
One of the new additions to this year's party were these blow ups! ^^ Each child took home their own blow up shark! ^^















To the sweetest 4 year old ^^ - Happy 4th birthday!! We love you so much!
I secretly hope I get to plan yet another shark party for next year ;) Please don't grow up so fast!
