Too many fun things in one month :).  On top of a big conference, and a Cali trip, we…

….Went jetskiing through beautiful canons with our friends!  Punkie kept shouting, “I’m freaking out!!!!”

….Went to our favorite Pumpkin Patch, and ended up in a huge hail storm!  We had a fast, fun time before the storm hit, and it ended with us all soaked and muddy!  We made a memory :).

This might go down as the most hurt and frustrated I’ve seen Punkie in his whole 3 years of life.  He was so determined to drive these cars, but they were too big and heavy for him to do a lot about it.  He would hop from one car to the next, every time leaving with a broken heart.  He sure put his all into this though.

…Went to this cute little area in Scottsdale with a cool library and a fun courtyard.  We were soaking up the time that Asher was still out of school from fall break.  We had so much fun this day, and spent about 3 hours hanging out reading books together in the library.

….Celebrating our first.  Asher turned 8 years told, and we can’t even get our arms wrapped around that monumental number.  He’s so big.  Soccer, friends and family, and pizza are his favorite things in life.  So what better way to celebrate this love of ours, then to wrap them all up into one afternoon :).

Asher got to take home the birthday bag at school this week, with lots of fun prizes for him to choose from, and he added his wish to the classroom birthday journal.  “If I had one wish I would be in Minecraft in real life and I would be building my own home under water now that would be cool.”

Last night as a 7 year old!

Asher’s favorite part about being 8.  No more booster seat :).

….Went to the Hotair Balloon Festival!  So pretty and quite magical being that close to these balloons!

….Kicked off Halloween 2015 with a pancake breakfast and airplane rides over the city!  Beck and I went together, and Asher and Daddy were together.  Beck’s pilot was literally hands off for the most of the flight, except for take off and landing.  It was a little alarming how much, ha!  He kept saying, ok let’s give Mommy a tickle in her stomach and push fast on the steering wheel…and then he would laugh, ha!  Beck had a blast :).

Looking for Daddy and Asher in the sky, ha!

Trick or Treating around our neighborhood!

….most mornings begin with a nerf battle.

….have been enjoying the beautiful weather!

….went to the season closer of the D-Backs!  We love taking the boys to these games!  They’re so family friendly and exciting!  The most hilarious memory…last time we were at the game we missed seeing Baxter, who Beck calls “Pastor”.  He cried because we didn’t get to see him.  This time, he cried because he saw him and realized he’s terrified of him, lol!!  It was awesome.  It required about an inning of convincing him that he didn’t need to be scared, and he found the courage to stand in line again with Asher :).
