Halloween/Birthday/Thanksgiving

I'm catching up just a little bit. ha ha!

I went my sister-in-laws to the Black Island Farms pumpkin patch. This is almost all of the grandkids on my side of the family except for Ben, he was too cold and bundled up in a blanket with his mom.

They have lots of stuff for the kids to do, including these fun slides. Ben had just broke his collar bone, so we needed to be a little careful with him.The hayride was fun, but cold.



This was the awesome animal train ride!

Jaxson didn't want to get off so he got to go twice.



The next night we went back with Jon and our friends Ben and Kelsey.
This was the biggest slide I have ever been on. Holy Cow! Scary!





Jaxson was a dragon. It was a lot of fun watching Jaxson figure out this whole Trick-or-Treating thing. He got way too much candy.





These are the amazing pumpkins Jon carved. Unfortunetly they were stolen off our front porch about 2 hours later.



I made this "incredible" birthday cake for Jaxson's 2nd Birthday. He did not even eat a bite. He was too excited about the cars on top of it.


This is the GeoTrax train set Jon's mom and us got him for this birthday.


THANKSGIVING!
We flew up to Jon's parent's house in Vancouver WA the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
This is Sam. Cute huh?!
We had loads of fun playing all sorts of games.



"FORKS" HIGH SCHOOL!!
This is in Kalama. 30 minutes away from Jon's parents house. This is where they film the outside scenes of the high school in Twilight and New Moon.



This is where Edward saves Bella. In New Moon they must have added pine trees.

I was soooo excited! But I felt like such an idiot running around taking pictures, because school was going on and Jon's family was waiting in the car watching me. But it was worth it!


Jon's parents have a lot of little cars to ride on but as usual Jaxson likes the pink and purple car the best. We go to Toys 'r us and he goes straight to the barbie car. He got in a fight with a girl the other night over it.


The day before Thanksgiving we went on one of my favorite hikes in Oregon. Look at all the moss on the trees. I felt like I was in a fairy tale.



Jaxson didn't like the water spraying on him. Plus it was loud.

All 9 grandkids went on the hike. All of Jaxson's cousins are pros.


Jaxson and Bethany on their date.

Jaxson is pointing us where to go.


Jaxson is getting to be quite the frequent flyer, so my mom bought him this suitcase for his birthday.

Sorry this blog was soooo long. Hope everyone is having a great Christmas season!

It looks like you guys have been having lots of fun. You will have to tell me where the pumpkin patch is for next year. It looks great.

Jaxson makes a cute dragon :)

I'm glad you got to go see the "Twilight" school. I am sure you are not the only person who has gone there. They are probably use to it.

Sorry I have to leave another comment. I went back to look at the pictures and I realized I forgot to say something.

Those pumpkins are awsome. Jon must love carving pumpkins. It is too bad there are stupid people in the world who can't just enjoy it. They probably took them to their house and got all of the credit.


Jaxson is so cute :)

I totally would have taken pictures of forks high school! I can't believe how grown up Jaxson looks at the airport. He looks like a little boy. We need to hang out.

What a great Thanksgiving! We really had a good time with you while you were here. I would have gotten out at the high school but then Bethany would have had to get out too and I didn't want to make that big of a scene while the kids were in school. I'm sorry you felt like an idiot but glad we all went. It was fun! I love the cute animal train ride. How fun is that!? My kids would have loved something like that. I also love the pictures of you in the hay maze. Jaxson is so cute. We are missing him up here. Bethany is still asking about him.
