Grant's 1st Birthday Party

My brother & sis-in-law kindly let us Keeney's hitch a ride to Clarkston this weekend for my 2nd Nephew's 1st Birthday Party. We headed out of town around 9am so we would have a few hours to hang out before the party at 2pm. We decided pretty quick that we were all hungry and ready for some Pizza. Last time Ginger and I took a trip to Clarkston we ate at an Italian place called Fazzari's, so we headed back there with our boys. We hit some shops downtown and just by luck they were having an outdoor/street Octoberfest thing!! Fun for the kids, crafts and a jumpy house. My oldest sister Nadine hosted the party at her house, we all had a great time with family and friends. So great to see our little Grant, who is getting really big. He's already walking, has been for a few weeks now, way to go Grant. Just an FYI, I stole some pictures from Ginger (shocker) so the order is a little messed up.

Making Pumpkin Bread

Had a fun Friday with my boys this week. We went to Jump & Bounce in the morning for an hour before school. I dropped off Gavin, then headed back home to make pumpkin bread with my Garrett. He has so much fun measuring stuff and dumping it. I put on my apron to protect my clothes, and he said "where's mine Mommy?" so cute. The bread turned out really good, of course that might be because the recipe calls for a whole bag of Chocolate chips, Yum-o!! I gave some to my friend Lisa who dropped by on Friday to give the boys their Birthday presents. Then I took some to Lewiston on our trip this weekend, gave some to my sister Nadine.

Giving me a grrrr face!!

Pouring in all the chips.

My little helper, and he looks so cute in his apron.

Carver Farms

We took a trip to Carver Farms this weekend for our annual Pumpkin Picking day!! Had so much fun hanging with my favorite people. We searched the pumpkin fields for awhile, then let the boys run through the corn maze. After the great times in the back of Travis & Ginger's pick-up we headed in for some yummy caramel apples. The boys picked the girls some flowers and just enjoyed one another's company. Because it was Gavin & Ginger's Birthday we went back to their place for some dinner and fun!! Thanks for another great time guys. Hanging out in the pick-up.

Garrett had so much fun picking out little pumpkin treasures to take home.

Travis found the "one". Hee hee

Oh Garrett your so cute "but we can't take them all home". :)
