Party @ Newpark

Ian had his 8th birthday party at Newpark.

I feel so bad! I didn't get any pictures. The party was like a blur!

Ian invited Sami, Christian, Skyler, Jacob A., Ryan, Sam, Emma, Megan.

They played lots of games like, No bears out tonight, Catch the Flag, Duck Duck Goose, Hid-n-go seek tag. The also had the bounce houses blown up so that they could jump. With all the space that they had many races where had. :-)

The Yard

Brent, Brian & Fergie are contemplating all the work in the yard......

Brent was totally into helping lay the sod. First rolling it out








And second stomping on it.











Fergie was ready, willing, and able to try it out.

Just in time for fall. Not long until it is covered in snow :-(

At the Pumpkin Patch

Park City Nursery has a really cute little pumpkin patch every year. I thought it would be fun to let the kids pick out their own pumpkins this year.


Lilly got right up into the pumpkins. She was serious about finding the right pumpkin.






Brian loved exploring, except he didn't really like his feet to touch the hay.

Picture Day!

I made up my mind that I would get fall pictures of all my kids together.  This project took weeks to finally put together. Getting everyone dressed and together is a miracle. 

My first thought was that we were going to drive to the barn and just snap one shot and leave. I had on heels!





But then I said lets just walk up a little further....

When we got up behind the barn there is a cute white house with a porch. I told everyone get up on the porch for a picture. Suddenly a flash back to my own childhood.... My siblings and I have a picture of us at some white house in Hollister! How Serendipitous!




The kids started to run around checking things out









We found so many picture spots.










The kids where climbing trees and having a blast.









We really had a great time.

Kangaroo Zoo

Kristy and Angela had a great idea of going to Kangaroo Zoo.

Brian wasn't sure at first. All he could do was sit still and look around in awe







Brent was happy to "jump" right in and play.










After a while Brian started to be more advent-urous....









But he was more than happy to stay on the floor and play with the table and chairs.

Brent made a new friend and had a blast.

I love Brian in the Frog towel

I totally love getting Brian out of the shower in the morning.

He gets all wrapped up in his frog towel

I can't get enough!

Brian plays wii

Brent and Fergie watching Brian play wii.

Brian knows exactly what that remote is for!

He gives a quick mug for my "Catcha"

Brian loves Brent!
The gang just chillin playing wii.

Fall fun festival

We went to the annual JRES fun fall festival. This year at least they moved it up so we didn't freeze outside! Brent was nervous at first....

...but soon he was all over the place! They had a great time.

Brian's point of view. Eating pizza in his stroller.

Lilly was in charge of the haunted house....I never did get a picture of her! :-(

Asleep at the table

Ian was cutting out an art project with Lilly late the other night. He didn't want to miss out on the fun. At least he got a pillow before he crashed!

Visit from the "Daddy Moose"

We stepped outside to go to the Dr. and look who came walking towards us! I had to hurry the kids to the car. He is NOT shy. Now we know who is responsible for those cute twins!
