Coffee anyone?

I just got a new coffeemaker. It is so cool! The place we stayed in CO had one and it was so neat, I just had to have one. It makes single serving of coffee in about 2 minutes! I can't wait to have people over to try it! Come on over and have some coffee!

Birthday dishes!

My mom, my aunt and my mother-in-law all pitched in to get me the lovely dishes I wanted for my birthday. They are scarlet Fiestaware and I LOVE them! I have a place setting for 12 now and two serving peices. I am so excited to be able to use them for our Thursday night dinners. The pictures are from yesterday. We had spaghetti, fettucine alfredo, rolls and a salad. It was very yummy. Thanks so much for the dishes! I love them!

This means trouble!

Trick or Treat!

Pumpkin Family

Darin carved his pumpkin on Tuesday afternoon while he watched the kids. So here is our whole pumpkin "family."

Mickey and the alien

These are pictures my friend Keri took. You will have to wait for the rest until tomorrow. I left my camera in the car. We had a fun time trick or treating. The kids were really cute and they have LOTS of candy now!

And at night

Why do we do this to the pumpkin, again?

Pumpkin Patch

Today we went to the Hillcrest Pumpkin Patch in Reedley. It was such a fun time for us all. We went to the pumpkin patch and rode the train and looked all around the farm. We even had a homemade corndog and a shaved ice (it was really hot...)
After picking out pumpkins, we went to our favortie Mexican restaurant in nearby Selma. Yummy! Finally we ended the trip with a visit to Super Walmart in Dinuba, which is never a highlight of any trip, nut we did restock our groceries.
The only slightly negative things about the day were the that Lily got carsick on the way down, but I managed to get her out of the truck before she threw up. Also Darin hurt his back this morning and was feeling sore. It was a really fun fall day!
