Arizona

As if October wasn't busy enough, we decided to throw in a trip to Arizona at the beginning of November. We were so glad we made it out there even though it was a short trip. The kids had a great time starting with the plane ride. We were a bit worried about how Andrew would do but he entertained himself by making friends on the plane and saying "uh oh" every time someone went into the bathroom. We got to spend time with Aunt Jes, Uncle James, Hayden and Papa P!  Uncle James put the kids to work on his fire pit immediately and we even got the surprise of snow on our last morning there. We can't wait to see everyone again.

Jacob got right to work on Uncle James' fire pit.

Hayden and Rachel watching some TV

Fun in the bath!!

Can you see that Hayden doesn't look all that impressed with Andrew's cheesy grin? 

James has done an AMAZING job with his backyard. Nathan is already foaming at the mouth with what he can do with our backyard. Check out that fire pit!

We surprised Rachel and took her to get her ears pierced. She was a little nervous but did awesome! Now she really looks like a big girl. 

UNO!

The cold weather didn't phase us at all because we got to build a great fire and have smores every night!! What an awesome treat...thanks James and Jes!

This is what we woke up to Monday morning. Very exciting for everone. Here are Hayden and Andrew still in their "footy jammies"

Great snowman guys!

Hayden and her Daddy

Jacob and Hayden hit it off immediately. They were two peas in a pod. 

Halloween

Happy Halloween!!  At 47 degrees and raining, the weather didn't cooperate to well with us this year but we still had a spooktactular time! The kids could hardly wait to get into their costumes and freeze outside : ) The morning started out with Jacob's preschool Halloween parade. Is there anything cuter than 4 year olds in a parade? 

Argggghhhh Matey! 

Luckily Rachel is tracked out during Halloween so she got to see Jacob's parade as well

 Jacob and his classmates

Notice the "loafers"...he loves his "Daddy Loafers"

 On to Halloween...the pirate, witch, and spiderman are ready for action!

Hope you had a great Halloween as well!!

5 Little Pumpkins

It was time for our annual Cesarz Pumpkin Picking and Carving night! We've had a great time doing this every year and the kids seem to get more creative each time. It was a very cold day the day we went to pick so we weren't out there for very long but I think we got the best ones : )

 Brrrrr......it was a cold day

 I will say that Nathan looks a little TOO comfortable with that knife....

NC State Fair

What a busy month October was. We love the Fall around here in the Cesarz house! It brings with it so many fun activities!!
First up....the NC State Fair.....good food, fun rides, and lots of interested things to see. The best part was Aunt Meg got to join us this year!! We think here favorite was the Kettle Corn....of course we didn't get to see the worlds biggest rat which may have been her favorite but we'll never know.

We all know Jacob LOVES a hot dog.....

Oh, and he also likes pretty blond girls....thank you Margaret for coming with us!!

Good think Rachel learned to milk a cow at her Kindergarten field trip last year....her skills were tested....
