This year, Brinley was very excited about "punkans," as she calls them.
We escaped the 100 degree Phoenix "fall weather" and headed up to Heber
the second weekend of October. We went to the pumpkin patch in
Snowflake, AZ and picked our own punkans...Brin loved it!

Emmy's shower, Oct 22nd, was a Halloween party for all the little ones.
The kids dressed up in their costumes and had lots of fun decorating cookies,
bowling with baby pumpkins, and eating lots of sweets!
Watch out...Brin's behind the wheel and loving every minute!
Halloween- our mini Steeler's cheerleader...Daddy's pride and joy:)
Brin's first successful trick-or-treat experience...and this was probably
our 10th house. She would run up after her cousins but she was so slow that
they would be walking away by the time she made it to the door, so she would just
turn back and run after them empty handed. Daddy had to go up with her so
that she could finally see what she was going up to the door for!
Picking up bones from the neighbor's "graveyard."
Brin says "CHEESE!" Needless to say
that doesn't get us a very good picture!
One of the highlights of our zoo trip...Brin and the giraffe getting aquainted.
Brinley feeding her new friend:)
The petting zoo was a big hit too. She didn't need any time
to loosen up in there...just ran right in and started hugging animals!
(She was pretty sure the deer and goats were dogs,
despite all our efforts to convince her otherwise!)
A brief pause in action, one of only a couple
pictures where she's actually looking at the camera.
Daddy helping Brin feed the deer. What a great day:)
