Clayton Valley Farms Pumpkin Patch

Last Saturday we went to the pumpkin patch. We went last year and the kids (and Logan) couldn't wait to go again this year. It's divided into two areas. The first area has hundreds of pumpkins and the second area is a play zone for kids (and Logan).

More Soccer

Collin loves going to soccer each week. His team is quite good and he scores a lot of goals. It's fun to watch!

Handsome boy!

Warm-ups

Dad helps coach.

Best part of soccer . . . after game snacks!

Ahhh Nuts!

I know this is a late post, but oh well.

The boys happily watching the BYU vs. TCU game last week.

The boys sad and grumpy when they realized BYU was going to lose.

Six Month Check-Up

Hunter had his well-baby visit today. He received four shots, including a flu vaccine, and an oral one as well. The current stats are as follows:

Weight: 20 lb 1 oz (84%)

Height: 2'5.6" (99%)

Head Circumference: 44.7 cm (72%)

For my own journaling purposes, Hunter got his first tooth (bottom front) on September 14th. A second one shortly followed. He's a happy guy and I love him so much!

This picture if for my mom (she knows why).

Hunter tasted his first 'real food', rice cereal on October 5th. He didn't like it at first, but has since changed his mind!

The Boo Brothers

The other morning I told the boys I had a Halloween surprise for them. They ran upstairs to find new shirts to wear. We went to the gym after getting dressed and the ladies at Childwatch said they saw their clothes and decided to call them the boo brothers (the shirts say 'Boo', but you can't see it in the pic)!


Carter doesn't have pants on because he didn't pull his pants down far enough while going potty at the gym.

We Wanna Go Back!

The boys still talk about Disneyland all the time. Collin bought a pirate treasure box there (with his own saved-up money) and Carter and he love playing pirates.

Before going to Disneyland, I wanted to help the boys make autograph books for the characters to sign. I always want to do craft projects with my kids, but time is a factor, the leftover mess is a factor, and me not being too crafty is a factor. Some day I'd like to think I will be a craft master, but for now, this is what we made. It was pretty easy for the boys to do and inexpensive, only $1 (I got the books at Target and used old scrapbooking stickers I already had)! Collin and Carter enjoyed having the characters sign them and part two of the project will be pasting the pictures of the boys with the characters next to the appropriate signature.

Disneyland!

We went to Disneyland for the first time with the boys from September 20th-26th. It was so much fun! It had been over ten years since either Logan or I had been and it's still the 'happiest place on earth'. Just ask Collin. The other day he said, "Mom, when can we go back to Disneyland? That sure was fun."

Anyway, we got a 5-day park hopper pass in which we spent 3 full days at Disneyland and 2 afternoon/evenings there (we went to the beach on those mornings). I think we rode every ride at least once. Collin's favorites were Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, and Pirates of the Carribean (he rode that one six times). Carter's favorites were Tigger and Pooh and the trains. My mom came out for three days to help us with the kids which was great. It allowed Logan and I to go on some rides together as well as some with Collin when Carter was too short to ride. Thanks mom!

Other highlights included hanging out with our good friends the Evansons, going to a character breakfast with Minnie and friends, going out to eat and having tasty treats, playing at the beach (pictures coming in the near future), and just spending good quality time together.

Each night the kids were wasted and would fall asleep in the stroller on the way back to the hotel. Hunter was a trooper considering he was dragged from one place to another. We had a great time!

Here are a few, well 50, pictures from our trip.
