Beautiful Fall!

I know that I have complained a lot about the weather here in Tulsa but I have absolutely no complaints about fall! The weather is beautiful! The trees are beautiful! I love it! I think the one thing I love most is all the excitement that comes with the fall. It means that holiday season has started. I have already decorated for Thanksgiving and I'm on edge waiting to break out the Christmas stuff!

Since the weather has been so beautiful, Asher and I have been spending a lot of time outside. His favorite thing to do is play football. We play a lot of football! We also decorated pumpkins. Asher was interested in painting about two pumpkins and then he was done. So much for that idea! Our small group at church went to a pumpkin patch the other week. It was so much fun. We all got pumpkins and they had a lot of animals there to pet. Asher loved feeding the camels. They slobbered all over him. It was so gross but he loved it! We also went for a hay ride with all the kids. It moved really slow but I think they liked it. This is just some of the fun fall stuff we have been doing!

Adam's surprise party!

Gosh I'm so far behind! It is going to take forever to update everything we have done but I'll start with this story first. Adam's birthday and my birthday are 8 days apart and Halloween is one day after my birthday. This has been like two long weeks of parties. Asher is still singing "Happy Birthday Momma" and "Happy Birthday Daddy!" He also thinks we must always have a "party cake" at our house so I've tried my best to make sure that happens with some cookies and cupcakes. But on to Adam's birthday... Adam didn't want to tell anyone at his work that it was his birthday. He said that he didn't want it to be a big deal. That was not a good thing to tell me. I started emailing his co-workers to tell them it was his birthday and that we needed to do something funny to embarrass him at work. But after a lot of thought, we just couldn't come up with anything. So around 3:30 my friend Amy emailed me and said "Hey let's throw a surprise party tonight at my house!" Yeah!!! Adam never wants to do anything fun for his birthday. I was really excited. Adam works with some awesome people and we have made some really good friends but it was so last minute I was afraid no one would show up. But they did! And I think Adam was really surprised. I kept having to delay him because people weren't supposed to show up until 7. We went to dinner and Adam was ready to go home at 6:30. I told him that we had to go over to Amy and David's house before we went home because I needed to pay her for some pictures. I had to buy time by begging to go to Starbucks. I had to hide inside Starbucks for 15 minutes so we didn't get there early and ruin the surprise. This really annoyed Adam. When I walked out of Starbucks he was pretty mad. But we finally made our way to their house and he noticed everyone's cars outside. His mood changed pretty fast after that! It was a fun birthday and I'm really thankful for all of our new friends!

I KNOW!!!!!

Ok so I am sooo far behind on my blogging. October is a very busy month for our family. We have had a lot of fun and I definitely will be making some new blogs soon. I have a lot of catching up to do. Check back!!
