Halloween

Halloween is here!! We did our annual pumpkin picking and decorating.  This year, you didn't need the biggest pumpkin which was kind of nice as the big pumpkin leaked his guts in the carpet last year.  hahaha  Also, the pumpkins were not that big this year, lots of them but average size.  


So silly

Awesome scores B-RAD!! 

Halloween was a lot of fun this year.  The Ware's came over, had pizza and you all went out trick or treating.  It was super cold so I think you went round the block.  Then, came back for some candy exchange.  What was really nice? You didn't have school the next day.  Wha???? yup, smart thinking from the school.

I love you so much Brad o lee!! You are kind, smart, energetic, have a six pack and I don't want you to change.  And you have a sword and you're ten.  Thanks for being YOU :)

MEA trip - Disneyland

A little bit of a last minute trip, for MEA we decided to go to Disneyland.  It's been a few years since we have gone and mama was wondering if you would still have a good time.  Well, you had a great time.  Different kinds of fun.  There were things you still enjoyed and things you got to try out more because you are older now.

Lots to bring back to the room 


 

This was a super fun trip!! You enjoyed all the rides.  Matterhorn was a favorite, along with the spiderman ride.  Due to baba's planning, we got to ride all the rides we planned and spent long days and nights enjoying the park.  

You were always on the lookout for stitch items for your brother, so sweet.

Love you so much Bradley!!
