Photo shoot!

So We got to have a Mini session photo shoot with Dyan the other day. We went to this Japanese Shrine and the pictures just turned out beautiful! She did a wonderful job! It was hard to get a pic of the two of them together cuz if one was smiling the other was running away or eating shoes or whatever! but she got some beautiful portraits

Ok, when we first started Dyan first started taking pics of just aj and this japanese lady walked up and stood next to him to have her friend take pics of her with him. we seriously could not get her to go away! this is mia sad cuz the yellow tooth lady is ruining her photo session!

Mia spent at least 50% of the photo shoot like this! She was drawn to them they were jsut so shiny!

Aj: Im an Angel

Mia: Yeah right!

So sweet!

So there are tons more but thats all i could fit on, dont worry they will be going out in the christmas cards this year!

Huis Ten Bosch

Our friend Naoko was so nice and took me and the kids around HTB today. it was a lot of fun. there we so many pretty flower gardens to see (i cant imagen how pretty it will be in the spring!) lots of shops and tons of food to try! I got a passport so now that Naoko has shown me the ropes i cant wait to go back again and again! (we live right across the street from it)

This is the big clock tower behind us. we can here its pretty music from our house all day long. i love it!

Huis Ten Bosch is a Dutch theme park so they had these shoes everywhere and you could even buy some! i even had a meal mixed with dutch and japanese food it was kind of funny but good!

They have a merry-go-round in one of the villages and aj Love it! its free with our passport so i think we will be going on that a lot. he was a little scared at first but then i had a hard time getting him off of it!

More shoes you can try on for pictures, sadly the kids didnt corporate at all and this was the best pic we go

I guess they are always having different themes going on throughout the year. right now it is of course halloween. they had a parade going through the street in the afternoon. they would even give you capes and pumpkin hats so you could follow and be a part of the parade too!

The parade ended in the big square and they danced and then you could take pics with some of the characters. im not sure what he is suppose to be but i told aj he was a pirate (looks kind of like a pirate to me) so of course aj wanted to get his pic with him. he even waved to him and talked to him a little (a huge thing if you know how shy aj gets around people in costumes...i think it has something to do with a mishap with giant teddybear we tried to take a pic w in yellowstone!)

Pretty fountain

Mia was asleep in the back!

We just had a blast today. it was so nice to get out and do some sight seeing too. Im soo glad Naoko invited us and showed us around! She is such a sweet friend!

Carving Pumpkins!

Sorry you know me I always do my pics backwards! here is the finished product. Mia's didnt get carved cuz she was hungry so I tried to draw a crying face on it to match her owner...I'm not an Artist Ok!

Aj playing with the seeds. He wouldnt stick his hand in the pumpkin, i made him once but he freaked and made me wipe his hands (he has this thing with getting his hands dirty). but he happily played with the seeds with the shovel. He is saying EWwww

Mia helped me hollow out my pumpkin with her teeth, must have tasted good cuz it kept her busy for a while!

Before we started!

Earlier that day at the park. They love the swings and would stay on them all day if I let them.
