Pumpkin Carving Time

This is our gordita covered in food, I think more got on her than in her. Please don't mistake Enrique's face for a smile. He was not impressed by the gooey stuff inside the pumpkin.

My job was to carve the pumpkin, Seth's job was to take out the stuff I carved and Enrique's job was to scoop out the pumpkin guts. Seth ended up doing both his and Rique's jobs.

I think we bribed him with candy to keep scooping.

I should have taken a picture of the finished product, it turned out great.

Halloween is fun, trick or treating is great, but Enrique prefers handing out candy to the kids in our neighborhood.

This is our family all dressed up for Halloween at the bank.

Rora's a frog, Rique's the Karate Kid, I'm a Halloween cheerleader with pants, and Seth is a stay at home dad with my cabbage patch kid strapped to the front of him. This was taken before any of the festivities began, as you can tell, we are all full of energy and smiles.

Camera's in the car and I keep forgetting to bring it in

I feel terrible its been so long since I've posted anything (sorry mom).
I have been taking pictures and soon I'll remember my head and bring the diaper bag in from the car and put the pictures on the computer.

The other night, our home teacher came over and was teaching Enrique about President Uchtdorf and the lesson from the Ensign.
It went something like this...
"Enrique, do you know what a pilot is?"
"Yes."
"What does a pilot do?"
"Kill Jesus."
Our sweet son got things a little mixed up, I was amazed at how he put things together.
We quickly straightened things out and had him flying a paper airplane around the room.

Halloween package

Yesterday, the FedEx man ding dong ditched us. I opened the door and lo and behold, it was a package from Grandma and Grandpa Sandoval to Enrique and Aurora.

Inside were two perfect costumes, the Karate Kid and a frog complete with lily pad and flower. If that wasn't enough there were also two special goodie bags made and decorated especially for Rique and Rora with their own treats. This year, we let Enrique choose his costume. His choice was "Daniel Sun" from Karate Kid. My mom did an amazing job on the costumes. For Halloween, I'll have to take a picture of the artwork on the back of his top, its great!

Aurora is our baby, so we get to choose her costume. Knowing that the future will probably hold many princess costumes, we opted for something a little different and very comfy. Aurora is often referred to as our little "sapito" (toad). Grandma ingeniously added a lily pad, complete with flower to our toad to accessorize and show she's a girl. Isn't she so adorable?!

Enrique loves his "sapito." The costumes are perfect.
This is our sapito with Rique's pumpkin puppet fingers in the background.

They wore their costumes for the rest of the day. Rique likes Aurora's costume because it is so soft.

We love getting fun stuff in the mail. Thank you Grandma Sandoval.

As I was blogging, I heard some very sweet songs coming from my bedroom. Enrique was with Aurora singing "I am a child of God."

Rique Dances

As we were getting ready to take off in the car. I noticed Enrique on the sidewalk doing his thing. I asked him what he was doing and he said that he was learning how to dance. I loved that the camera was so available. I think its time we put this kid in dance, whatda think?

Vineyard Pumpkin Patch

Yepee! Seth had Saturday off, so after we slept in, we went to the pumpkin patch. Enrique asked his cousin, Adam, to join us and together they ran through the corn maze to eventually find their way out.
This is them after the corn maze. They ran and ran and ran. As you can see, Rique is wearing sweat pants and warm boots. What you can't see in this picture is how soaked they were with sweat.
This is our most recent family picture. Lucky for us, Ariela showed up at the pumpkin patch with Nicole. Thank you for taking our picture.

The pumpkin patch was right next to train tracks.

We took a similar picture with Enrique on his first trip to the pumpkin patch. I think his looked more magical, not Aurora's fault, I think Rique was three months older at the time.
