Crafty

I saw this pin on Pinterest of how to make a serving tray, and I just happened to be wanting one of those.  I had to make it, and  it turned out so cute!  The things in the middle are candlesticks from the dollar store, and I got the plates at Ikea.  I like it so much that I have to leave it out on the counter. :)

Mikey's Wedding

Mikey and Christina got married on Sunday November 9th.  The wedding was at a Catholic Church in Tempe and The reception was at Rustler's Rooste.  Everything turned out so great, and we all had fun getting dressed up and taking pictures.  Caden was the ring bearer, Max was the Bible bearer, and Madelyn was a flower girl.  Welcome to the family Christina!

The slide at Rustler's Roosre.  I remember going on it when I was a kid!

The photo booth was really fun!

Spelling Test

I just have to brag a little about Caden.  He had his first spelling test and got 100%.  He also got all of his phonograms and math problems right.  He is such a smart boy!

Field Trip

I was lucky to be one of 3 parents picked to go on Caden's first field trip to the Chandler Schools Central Kitchen.  We got to see how they made all of the school lunches for all of the schools in the Chandler School District.  Caden was especially excited that I got to ride the bus with him. :)

Happy Halloween!

Schnepf Farms

We had a blast going to Schnepf Farms.  We loved the spooky train ride, the hayride, the carnival rides, and the pillow bounce.  

Donuts for Dads at Caden's School

Mother Nature's Farm

We have a tradition of going to Mother Nature's Farm every year since we lived right next to it when we got married.  We rode on the hay ride, jumped in the bounce house, played in the hay bale maze, fed the animals, and Caden decorated a pumpkin.

This picture was at the hay bale maze, and it was Caden's favorite part.  There wasn't really anyone else at the maze, so we had fun timing each other to see who could make it through the fastest.  Caden also decided that it would be fun to play hide and seek in the maze.  It wasn't very tall, so we had to lay all the way down not to be seen.  Who knew that hay was so itchy?

Basketball

Caden started his first season of basketball a few weeks ago, and Matt is coaching his team.  Caden even got to be Matt's old number.:)  He made a basket in the first game, and he is loving playing basketball.  Maybe he will be the "money jr" (Matt's nickname in high school because he always made his shots in basketball.).

Fall Break

We had so much fun during fall break getting together with friends that we don't get to see nearly often enough now that Caden is in school.

Caden had a couple of friends from school over.

We went to Riverview with Janeille and the kids.

We went to the I.D.E.A. Museum with Caden's friend Dallin.

We went to Jumpstreet with Reagan and Kade.

We even had a little fun making a Halloween craft.  It was good to have my little helper home!
