The PERFECT Christmas Gift for every Man/Boy

These are the best things ever. My awesome brother-in-law sells these Neck Ties. They are great quality and a great price. Everyone, man or boy needs one. Josh and Payton wear them every Sunday to church. I think they look so cute in them. You can buy matching kid and adult ties or buy different ones for each. They are all the same price $12.99. The thing I like the most is that the kids ties can fit them from 1 years old till they are 10 or 12 years old depending on the size of the kid. Also the kids ties are like adult ties you have you tie them. I know if Payton wears the zip kind, or the clip kind, or the velcro kind he can take them off easily, but with these ones he loves them and wears them the whole time. I am the one that makes him take it off after church so he doesn't get it all dirty. If you would like to order some, or if you are just curious what they look like or how many he has check out the website.

Pumpkin Patch and Halloween

This year we went to the pumpkin patch by our house. We had a great time. Payton mostly loved the animals. He even got to feed them. We went to trunk or treat at our church on Friday and went trick or treating on Saturday. Payton mostly just loved shooting his guns. He was a real trooper and we were very proud of him. He is just getting so big. He of course figured out that if he said trick or treat he would get candy. He had a long day and was definitly done by the time we finished.

We were all pretty tired to begin the night in the first place.

The Cake

I just wanted to post the cake my sister and I had for Paytons birthday. We were both shocked at how good it came out. We are honestly not very creative or crafty people. It was definitly a process to make. The ears where 3 layers and the face was 2. We filled the layers with chocolate pudding. He had to let it cool in the fridge after each layer before we put the frosting on. Even with the frosting we had to do two layers so the crumbs from the cake wouldn't show through. It's definitly not a cake you would see on 'Ace of Cakes' but we thought we did a pretty good job.
