Let's bake some cookies!!

The kids and I went to Michaels the other day and they had all their fall and Halloween stuff on sale. We found this bottle of sprinkles for 20 cents, so we decided to get them and go bake some cookies. Aiden had a blast. He loved putting...or pouring the sprinkles on the cookies. The ones he decorated tasted pretty much just like sprinkles, but the sprinkle free ones turned out pretty good.

Pumpkin Patch!!

We met up with some friends from Chicago who ended up moving about an hour from us to go visit a pumpkin patch. This was the biggest pumpkin patch I have ever seen. There were hundreds of pumpkins everywhere. There was also another really big pumpkin patch just beside this one. The kids had a blast. Aiden loved the hay ride and playing with the pumpkins that were for sale. He wanted to bring all the little ones home. We did end up buying a few little ones and two big ones. One of the big ones will be made into a dessert and the other is for carving.

There was a train ride that Aiden really wanted to ride on, but the line was huge and so we didn't wait for it. He was a little disappointed, but there was no way he was going to be patient enough to wait in line for his turn. Poor kid.

Visiting our sons

October 31st was a really sad day for our family. It has been one year since the passing of our twin sons, Alan and Thiago. It's hard to believe that they are gone from our lives. They stayed very little time with us, but we treasured every minute we got to spend with them.

We went to visit their burial site in Oklahoma. I still have not been able to pick a headstone for their grave, but I am determined to pick something really pretty for them soon.

The funeral home we used put a really nice little plate to mark the site and so we were able to leave them some pretty flowers. We did not take any pictures of it this time, but my sweet aunt Gayle went to visit them a few months ago and she also left them some pretty flowers. She did take some pictures of it and so this is the one I posted here. Our sweet angels in heaven will be forever in our hearts.

Let's give it a shot.

Ok, I have no idea of what I am doing here, but I decided to try to make a blog for our family so that we can keep our family and friends on what is going on with our family. We'll see what happens. I will probably have the most boring blog on this website.
