TOFW

What could be more fun than spending the weekend with friends being spiritually uplifted while stuffing our faces and having tons of laughs? Not much. Jason held down the fort this weekend while I enjoyed Time Out For Women. Cant even pick a favorite moment. It was really great.

Pumpkin Patch

 Although it was 80 degrees at the pumpkin patch this October, we still had a great time. Nana came along and we played for a few hours and enjoyed our cider slushies before going out to scour the fields looking for the perfect pumpkins. Some took WAY longer than others (ahem, Andrew). We finished the day off with some much needed Mexican food. I love traditions

Disney on Ice Surprise

So I took Leah on a surprise date to see Disney on Ice. I loved having some alone time with her and giving her clues all throughout dinner. Even when we walked in she was still confused. She had never been to anything like this before. We had a great time and she loved the show. Although she was a little distraught that I wouldn't buy her a $20 snow cone and cotton candy. 

A...P...P..L...E spells Fall.

We went to Apple Hill with Grandpa and Crystal. We tried a few new places that will hopefully become tradition. We tried some made after ordered amazingly delicious doughnuts at Rainbow Orchards. We went to Dan's for some u-pick apples. We went home with a 20lb box and spent the week making caramel apple cake, apple sauce, and all kinds of apple goodies.

Happy 2nd Birthday Evan

 

Cheerful, playful, adventurous, active, sport loving, candy obsessed sweet boy.

1st Day of School

Andrew began his 3rd grade year. Leah started kindergarten. Evan will start preschool this week.

Look who is raising her hand the 1st 10 seconds of Kindergarten. I think she'll do fine.

Andrew settled in quickly and is getting embarrassed of the pictures.

Andrew's Birthday

To celebrate his birthday Andrew chose to go to six flags. We left Evan behind with Nana.

 It was a great day and we had so much fun.

We also celebrated his actual birthday at home with a bunch of his buddies. We made ninja stars, had a ninja obstacle course and ate lots of ninja food.

Andrew's Baptism

In preparation for Andrew's baptism, I took him to the temple for his photo shoot.

 He was a great sport considering how much he dislikes taking pictures.

 We are grateful that Andrew is setting such a wonderful example for his little sister and brother.

 

Andrew's baptism was beautiful. He planned the whole thing. 

 He had many there to support and love him.
