Grammy's Games and Craft Time Fun

The thought and time Grammie Cluff puts into her Halloween Birthday Bash make it a treasured event!

Instead of bobbing for apples the kids got to bob for Spiders donuts! It was so fun to watch the kids try to eat the donuts!

Go Logan

Then is was spray the spiders web.......very clever Spider Woman!

Not even close Logan but it looks like you are enjoying it just the same!

Katelynn hittin git right on!

Doyle is pretty serious with his aim!

Maliya got great help from her Daddy

Okay Rock Star Kaely showin' everyone up!

Way to go Kiersten!

Dustin with a very handsome Superman

We all felt very protected at this party with all the super heroes and ninjas!

Grammie always does a fun craft with the grand kids.

Seriously I often wonder if this lady sleeps! She never ceases to AMAZE me!

Grammie helping Kiersten and Kaely with their pumpkin spiders!

Hunter really enjoys making things......so this is right up his alley.

Jacob did a great job on his spider

The kids had to put beads on pipe cleaners to make their spiders legs.

The two oldest cousins

Good thing these two are great kids....

cause they have many, many kids looking up to them!

Maliya is a serious crafter! And a cute one as well!

Logan is always there for the fun!

The Curtis Clan getting serious about their spiders

The kids did really well with this craft. It helps that they are getting a little older and can do more without a ton of help.

Hunter is always looking for an opportunity for Uncle Chris to help him. He adores and admires his Uncle Chris. Uncle Chris is always a good sport and always willing to help Hunter.

The food was spooktacular!

Told you Grammie Cluff is AMAZING!

I love the details she puts into her parties. She is a woman after my own heart!

YUMMY!

I didn't get any pictures of it put Grammie put on one outstanding and first every Haunted House. I tell you what ......my kids RAVED about Grammies haunted house for days and days!

They talked about it so much and loved it so much they wanted to have their own haunted house a week or so later. Thank goodness Grammie was nice enough to let them borrow a few spooky things to help with their haunted house.

All in all Grammies Halloween Birthday Bash was a huge success.......not that it could be anything other then that.

Thanks Grammie for all you do to make such a fun night for all of us!

We love you and Happy 21st Birthday once again!

Who Knew Cups......

could be this entertaining?

Hunter LOVES to build towers with plastic cups....

Mostly, I think, because he then uses his prior Karate skills to knock them down!

Love this time of year because......

....our garage looks like this!

I love the fall in Arizona!

The weather starts to cool down,

It starts getting darker sooner which means you feel okay about putting your p.j.'s on at 6:30 because it's been dark for awhile.

It's generally NOT windy here!

I love decorating for the Fall and especially Christmas!

and a BIG REASON I love this time of year is.....

because we get out the quads and we ride!!

The kids ride almost daily!

I don't mind giving up my garage for the convenience of getting the quads out.

I love it!

School Field Trip

to Apple Annie's Orchard!

Not five second after getting out of the car Hunter was in HEAVEN...........there were these little black caterpillars EVERY WHERE!!! And soon enough they were all over him!

Logan was so happy to get to join the kids and I for their school field trip. He even conned Kendall into letting him have a piggy back ride.

Excited to go through the corn maze!

The corn maze always impresses me! The kids love it and I swear the corn plants were taller this year!

Reading the clues to know which was to go!

We had a great group of kids with us! Thanks Julie for being our leader......I just love her!

She has great kids and she is so fun to be around!

Logan, Kiersten and Hunter

Then it was off to the hay ride.

Lenae, Hanna and Kiersten

the hay ride took us to find the perfect pumpkin.

Logan found his right away!

Kiersten was more serious about finding a pumpkin "with character!"

Doyle and Hunter resting..the deal is you pick the pumpkin BUT you have to carry it back to the trailer!

Way to go Cowboys!

We then got a hay ride back to the beginning and had a picnic lunch.........which includes playing in the massive bucket of corn!

Kendall and Hunter being them silly self's!

Lots of yellow and purple Panthers.........go DPA!

Logan loved playing in the corn! He ate his lunch so fast so he could hurry and go play.

Kiersten and McKyla Bartlett

Such cute friends!

Hunter, Becky, Doyle, Logan, Kendall, Stacy and a little boy

My silly boys.........I said I wished Mr. Grant was there.........so Hunter being Hunter pretended to be Mr. Grant for the picture!

Kiersten rode home with her Aunt Kiki to help with Maliya!

Kendall and Stacy

Soooo funny story.........

there are these LARGE pumpkins and I told ALL the kids that were riding with Stacy and I to climb on the pumpkins so I could take their picture....

They had a ball....and I just snapped away!

Hunter and Logan or the HUGE pumpkins...

Oh yeah there was a sign right in front of me saying, "Please do not play on the pumpkins"

Guess I should be slightly more observant next time! Thank goodness not one yelled at us cause it was all me...........I made the kids get on them for the sake of a fun picture!

Seriously those are some fun, huge pumpkins...........so fun it's hard not to climb all over them..........ha, ha...
