Trick or Treat!

What a busy Halloween day we had, with so many outfit changes! We started off with our festive outfit, then surprised Grandma and Grandpa Gast as a pumpkin!! Later, helping pass out candy to all the trick-or-treaters, we had a little bunny rabbit that was too cute for words!!

See for yourself...

Her first cupcake...it was one of those mini ones...she needs the practice for her birthday cake!! I hope everyone's Halloween weekend was as fun and special as ours. We had a lot of family time and enjoyed the beautiful weather together. Although, I'm sure Ashley is glad to be back to one outfit a day, it was a real treat!

Fall has come...snowbirds to follow

Arizona may have a different definition of fall (really, all seasons in general) but you can definitely tell it is no longer summer here in the desert! The next few days we will be having 60 degree weather, not normal, but have been enjoying beautiful days in the 80s!!! We took Ashley to her first fall festival this past weekend, and had a great time! Her Grandpa Gast and Aunt Julie joined us for the festive day, we all enjoyed homemade lemonade and kettle popcorn, and even took Ashley on her first ride!

Couldn't pass this up...

Ashley wouldn't stop looking at her grandpa!

It's been a great start for fall so far! We are looking forward to Ashley's first Halloween, first Thanksgiving and...her FIRST BIRTHDAY!! Can't believe it, it's right around the corner! And don't worry, I will be there with my camera every step of the way!

6 Years...

and counting. I'm a few days late, but I still thought it was important to say Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband. Thank you for all the surprises, not only this past weekend, but over the years, and for being you. You don't know how fortunate I am to have someone bring so much life and laughter into my world. We have made so many extraordinary memories and it is still just the beginning. Our life would be impossible without you and I'm looking forward to the next 60 years together!
