Corn, Corn Everywhere!

Nana and Papa paid us a visit over fall break....YEAH! We decided to take them to CORNBELLY'S....YEAH!
Our kids LOVE Cornbelly's and beg us to go every year. (Good thing it's only here once a year.) This year we made McLay family history by going through all 3, yes 3, corn mazes at once (we started in the Kiddie Maze)!!!! We are amazing I know. If you ever want us to help you through a corn maze let us know...we have mad skills! Ben wasn't to sure about standing in the haunted creatures mouth for a picture but, he later told us that being "pooped out its bum" was his favorite part.
Two hayrides, shooting paintball and corn guns...what kid doesn't love this place. Not to mention the slides, swings and all the other toys to play with!
Ben is too cool to pose for the "corney" picture!
Sam and Will rode bikes while Ben climbed on this train and drove the firetruck. Our kdis are so cute aren't they!
Their favorite thing is the jumping pillow. We need a new trampoline in the spring so I am thinking about upgrading to the jumping pillow. Donations to the McLay Kids Jumping Pillow Fund can be made anytime during the fall or winter!
THANKS Nana and Papa for coming to play....we think you should come more often! (Sam, Will, Ben and Sophie)

R U A good WITCH or A bad WITCH?

Our friends the Harper's joined us for a witching Saturday at Gardner Village. Our kids loved the ride with the witch and the tour of her house, trying to collect all the witches autographs and the candy!
Dave and I loved watching the kids in awe of the witches, being with our friends and the candy!
I love fall activities and being able to get out and spend sometime with our kids. I am not a fan of the kids and Dave being gone most of the day five days a week so being able to do something fun with them when they are home is tops in my world!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to....all our kids

Well since I am so behind on this blogging thing.....wait I am also behind on the laundry and cleaning....I think being behind has become one of my hobbies. Also one of my new hobbies..getting distracted so back to the point of this post. All of our kids had birthdays since I last posted so here is the run down.

SAMANTHA
Samantha Elizabeth McLay turned 8 and in a lapse of sanity we decided to get her the present she has being dreaming of for almost all 8 of those years.
Welcome SOPHIE to the family!!!
Samantha spent her big day bowling with her BFF Kiley,
playing with the family at Incredible Pizza and watching Despicable Me!
Samantha also choose to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

WILLIAM
William David McLay turned 6yrs old! Will only wanted 2 things to make his birthday perfect: his own razor scooter and the Star Wars AT-AT vehicle. I was OK with the scooter and somehow Will put his cute dimples to work on Dave and he got his AT-AT vehicle. According to Will his birthday was "AWESOME"!

For his big day Will choose to go to Jump On It, Olive Garden and see Alpha and Omega!


BENJAMIN
Benjamin Scott McLay turned 3 but still insists that everyone call him baby! Ben LOVES fireman and firetrucks. For his birthday we took him to the fire station and he was in heaven!!

All Ben wants in life are guys, guys, firetrucks, motorcycles and guys. Thus for his big day we added more guys, firetrucks, and motorcycles to his already extra large collection. Good thing he is cute or I would have not added more "crap"to my house!

Ben wanted to go to the Children's Museum and to Chuck E. Cheese. He could sit and watch the dancing Chuck E. Cheese robot all night!

In my very biased opinion I have the cutest and greatest kids in the world. I am so thankful for all that they teach me and for their presence in my life!
