Cookies....

I almost forgot to post a picture of a couple of candy corn sugar cookies I made for my Young Women. They were a hit.... I'm glad they were, because they took enough of my time...:) Thanks to Erika for the idea and the website!

Emily's 3rd Birthday Party!

Emily had her party this past weekend. She invited all of her best friends. Two were not able to make it, but we had a great time nonetheless. She LOVES her gifts. Thank you to Marisa and Gaetano for making our day and weekend! It would not have been a party without you guys.


I was pretty happy with the turnout of my cake. But, it sure took effort!

Eating lunch and playing games.

Parades and Pumpkins!

Two weeks ago we went to Swiss Days in Santa Clara. It is the celebration of the Latter-Day Saint Swiss pioneers who gathered here in Santa Clara. Emily and Audrey LOVED the candy. Emily, of course, was afraid of everything, so Ryan held her a lot of the time. I held Audrey most of the time. She thought everyone was out to get her, especially Sebastian, the crab from Little Mermaid.



Yesterday, we went to the Staheli Farm and Pumpkin Patch. Emily loved the "jumping pillow," which I am sad we didn't take a picture of. Audrey, on the other hand, not so much. I would say it was better than a trampoline. Emily pet the pony and other animals, while Audrey wandered off to the pigs.

Emily liked the corn slide, as long as Dad was there to catch her. They both enjoyed the large swings, and the cow train ride, which we didn't take pictures of.

We also went on a "wagon" ride to the pumpkin patch. Emily did not like the witch, but Dad decided she needed to confront her fears. So, he made her take a picture with her.
