Pumpkin Patch 2012

 One of our most favorite times of the year
is the Fall...and Along with the Fall
we have our fun afternoons at Pumpkin Patches.
Yes, Pumpkin Patches....the boys like to 
go to as many Patches as we can explore!
The more Pumpkins the better!
Here is a few pictures from our
adventures through the 
Pumpkin Patches!


I just love Pumpkins and the color Orange is just so happy!


Brooks is such a handsome little man!
Brooks doesn't miss a Fall at the Pumpkin Patch!!


Brody all smiles with the Warty Pumpkin!!


Brooks chose some Small Pumpkins
for some Fall Craft Projects!
We love a Project!


Brooks and Brody were on such a hunt to 
find the best Pumpkin!


Brody was so excited about all the Small Pumpkins!
So...we bought 9 Small Pumpkins for Projects!!


Farmer Brooks with his 1st Place Pumpkin!


And of course, Farmer Brody with his 1st Place Pumpkin!


The Farmers had such a great afternoon at
the Pumpkin Patches!


And the fun just kept going...


And the Winning Pumpkin is...
...Ta Da...this very unique white and orange Pumpkin
that looks amazing with all our Fall Decorations!!
Great Pick Boys!!

Happy Pumpkin Hunting!!

 Not quite Fall in Tampa yet,
however it was an annual event

We spent a lot of time checking
out all the Class's Booths
this year! Most of our time
was at the "Freeze Dance Booth"
since it was Brooks' Class.
Here is a glimpse of the Fest!


Brooks was so into the Freeze Dancing
with Props and All he was having a Blast!!


Brody was so all about the Hair Painting Booth!
Yes, both of the boys had Blue Hair!!
It was super fun!
Wishing for some Cooler Weather!!

Happy Fall!

Mustaches and Mozzarella

 It was a Pizza Party
with a little Layne Pepin Flare!
My little Brody turned 4 on September 13th
and what a special little man he is
....so excited about a party and birthday!
Just like his mom!!
We had a very small intimate celebration
this year, but with a lot details!
Isn't it always about the details?!


Let the Mustaches and Mozzarella Begin!


Mike was into this theme...sporting his Mustache!!

The Dessert Table with my Signature Pennant
in the Party Theme Colors:
Red, Green, Yellow, and splash of Black!!


Brody's Invitation was the start...
of a cute little Pizza Party!


Simple Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes
but I made the "Mustache Toppers"
with a Stamp from Stampin Up!
The Vanilla was my favorite! Yum!!


Each of my little Chefs 
had a little Mustache Apron
that I made with Fabric Paint and a Stencil!
Just adorable!


The "Chefs" Table


My favorite little Chef Rabbit
was in uniform for the special event
with Mustache and his #4!


Each little Chef had their very own 
Red Pizza Board, Mini Rolling Pin, and Pizza Dough Jar.
I had some terrific finds at Amazon, Dollar Store, and favorite Craft Stores!
It's those details that made it Super Fun for all my little Chefs!!


Let the Chef's Begin!
Let's make Pizza!!
Great Job Brody!!


Brody's Best Buddy Wyatt making Pizza!


Look at those Italian Boys

The Party was not short on Good Pizza!
Delicious!
