Fall Photos










Hey Everyone, fall is by far my favorite photo opportunity. I love the vibrant and warm colors that create perfect backdrops for gorgeous pictures. Here's a few we shot after raking the leaves in our yard.

Halloween Shalla!

This year for Halloween we dressed up as Muslim Indians and Ave was our pet Peacock. Our Halloween costumes were inspired by our summer spent in Houston, there were SO many Indians and they were WONDERFUL people. Jaimo spent ALL month growing out his beard to be just perfect for his part as Mr. Patel. He also spoke in his fabulous accent the WHOLE night.  Ave our sweet little Peacock was dressed to the hilt, I spent ALL month sewing and designing our costumes. It was definitely a labor of love. I learned to always buy extra material and that picking your stitches is horrible. I also learned that sewing without a pattern is almost impossible!

We celebrated on both Saturday and Sunday. First we went and visited some good friends and Ave got  Chocolate Chip Banana Bread and Spiced Apple Cider, which she loved! Then we came home and made caramel popcorn to bring to neighbors and the residents at Jaimason's work, Good Samaritan Nursing Home. That was my favorite part of the whole night, all the elderly residents went crazy over Ave. They just love Ave, and they all call themselves her Grandmas and Grandpas, so she has about 50 grandparents. HA HA!

Then that evening we really treated ourselves and got a pizza. We don't eat fast food very often so it is quite and indulgence to get a pizza. And boy did Ave enjoy her deep dish veggie pizza! She is so funny, she loves to share so she fed us all the toppings. Our little one is really becoming a silly little person.

Then on Sunday we got to dress up again and go to my parent's house to celebrate Jaydon's birthday. They made it such a festive party and made all sorts of "spooky" food. There was a meat head, eyeball meatballs, bloody fingers, and other fun stuff. We had a great time hanging out with the kids and playing. WE LOVE HALLOWEEN!

FALL PHOTOS COMING SOON!
