Well, I never really got why everyone loved fall so much, because in my mind it was always the begining of winter, but this year I understood what all the fuss was about! We had about two months of 70 degree and sunny weather and plenty of fun fall activities.
Ivory turned one year (separate post on her birthday celebrations to follow) but she is getting so big and wanting to do a lot of the same things as Tristan now
We did hardly any hiking this summer and fall, so we went on a little hike on one of the last really beautiful Sunday afternoons we'll probably have for a while.

Finally stopped to see Mater which was fun until we had to leave.
Ivory is going to be a reader, I just know it, I find her like this all the time
I made the mistake of mentioning the library was going to be having Halloween puppet shows at the beginning of October within Tristan's presence and that was all he could talk about doing for days unfortunately they didn't start until the week of Halloween, so there was a lot of days of me telling Tristan we couldn't go to the puppet show today. I have learned my lesson not to tell him about anything fun until we are literally walking out the door to do the fun activity. He did love it when the time finally came and even got his pic in the local newspaper!
She's just so cute! She wore this shirt on Halloween day, which says Wild Child but she so is not, which I love about her!
We went to Corn Belly's for Penny's birthday celebration and it was a blast!
We did a pumpking carving night for family night but what actually happened was Ivory went to bed early and me and Tristan watched Halloween cartoons while Ryan carved the pumpkin and this pic is totally set up ;)
Tristan had so many cousins/sister birthday parties this fall! At the twin's birthday they had this zip liner which I was sure Tristan would be scared of doing, but he wasn't in the least! He absolutely loved it and did it about 10 times. Finally with no more birthday parties in the horizon Tristan wakes up a lot of mornings telling me it is his birthday, I think he feels like it has been everyone else's birthday so now it should logically be his turn.
This was a fun little bean bag toss, Tristan waited his turn and finally when it was his turn instead of throwing the bean bags from the line he ran up to it and threw them in, like duh, why stand so far back? He cracks me up!
And finally the Grand Finale! Trick or Treating Halloween night! I don't think there's a better holiday for Tristan, he loves dressing up and he loves candy and he loved seeing all the other kids in their costumes! He could've trick or treated all night it was us who got tired and Ivory, who was the cutest little mouse there ever was!
