Too cute!
Ian showing me his STRONG muscles 
Ian was so excited, he's had a rough time containing the excitement all week!
Aww, the price of beauty. Putting in curlers and sitting and waiting for Mommy to do my hair was all worth it.
The finished product, bring on Prom and other dances...I think I will definitely be ready to do the hair thing by then!
Audra's all ready to go!
Audra loved to scoop out the guts of the pumpkin, Ian hated it and kept flinging his guts all over on to everyone! (In case you're wondering Audra is in curlers in preparation for her Halloween costume)
We had the Peterson side of the family over, and everyone had a lot of fun. A new family tradition in the making...
Ian is pretty proud of "his Spongebob" (even though Brandon did all of the work). Ian did pick the pumpkin out at a farm on one of his field trips.

For some reason I couldn't get this picture to turn out better, but it is a perfect Minnie Mouse.
Ian's favorite...Spongebob
Darth Vader 
This did say Happy Halloween, but unfortunately one of the kids who call themselves "Not Me" got to it :(
Brandon took this picture of the kids and I because they wanted to get their picture taken by the "BIG pumpkin".
Audra loved having her face painted!
This is the first time Audra has ridden a pony. The last time we came (2 years ago) she was too little. She loved it!
Ian loves to ride his horse "like a cowboy".
We had a lot of fun on the wagon ride around the farm too!
Here's Audra on her first day of preschool. I thought she was going to have a hard time adjusting, but she just jumped right in and loves it. Her teachers already knew who she was from coming to pick up her brother, so that definitely helped her adjust. She seems more concerned with being studious than social, which is completely opposite from her brother. Audra loves to tell me about the things she learns like "the little girl and her sheep that followed her to school" (Mary had a Little Lamb).
Here's Ian on his first day of school. He is still adjusting to having to go every day, but he loves it. It's amzing to us how much he has learned in just a month, and how much his writing and counting has improved! We just love his teacher, and we can tell she truly loves what she does. Brandon and I couldn't have asked for a more patient and kind person!
Ian didn't ride much of the rides this year, unforunately he had some sort of stomach bug the day before, but he still tried to have some fun.
Audra was our little dare devil, she wanted to ride everything she could, and was disappointed when she was too short for the rollar coaster rides.
Driving a car is their favorite thing to do every year!
Audra loved the dinosaur drop, the only thing she thought was scary was the dinosaur noises. Not the drop LOL...
Ian and Audra had a lot of fun riding the rides together. They are so cute and the best of friends. We are very blessed to have such wonderful children!!!
