Every fall we go to the pumpkin patch. This year we went to Linder Farms.
The kids LOVED the swings!
Little Abby
Caleb was pretty tuckered out.
We met up with Malerie, Michael, and Millie and had a great time!
Cute little cousins!
Most of the kids enjoyed the barrel rides. I love Leslie's hair in this picture, by the way!
This doesn't really capture it, but Abby was screaming the entire time!
The bounce house!
We finished off the evening by playing in the corn box.
3 sisters
A few days later, Leslie's class went to the same pumpkin patch. Here are Leslie and Abby with the pumpkin they chose. I guess it was just too cold to smile!
Did you say birthday??
Yay!!
Awesome!
Wait a minute, really??
Yes, buddy, have some taco soup!
You even get your own candle to blow out.
Really?
You said chocolate cake with rainbow chip frosting? I'll give it a try...
A little messy, but it looks really good.
I think I like chocolate.
I better try some of that frosting stuff.
A little different, but I'm willing to give it another try.
Okay, so that was really good!
Can I have some more, please?
Presents?? For me??
I like this ribbon stuff.
I might need some help opening these.
Birthdays are really cool!
I leave the room just for a second and come back to a yogurt covered baby. Caught in the act! He just looks guilty...
A week after we moved to Boise, we took the kids to the apple orchard to pick apples. Everyone loves picking apples!
Gala apples have always been my personal favorite.
Going to the apple orchard is one of Greg's favorite fall activities that we do every year.
We have the coolest dad!
The best part of apple picking is...Greg's apple crisp!!
On Saturday, September 21 Emily went to her cousin, Caroline's birthday party!
They went to the zoo and Emily loved every minute of it!
Caleb is getting so big and started standing right before his first birthday.
He knows he is cute!
It's so fun to dress him up on Sundays!
His smiles brighten my day!
New favorite cereal: Honey Nut Cheerios!
"Little Rookie"
On October 1st Leslie went to her first day of Preschool. Finally it was her turn! She was beyond excited!!
It's been a magical summer living in the Teton Valley.
At the end of August Greg's parents came up for a visit. We went to Jenny Lake and everyone liked it!
We went on a really fun boat ride across the lake.
It was the perfect way to end off the summer.
When we got to the other side of the lake, we hiked up to Hidden Falls.
Some of us didn't know we were going to be hiking, so we had on flip flops, but we still made it!
"Mom, take a picture!"
On Tuesday, September 3 Emily went to her first day of school at Victor Elementary. She got the teacher she wanted and her desk was by all of her friends. She was one happy girl.
Leslie Loraine, 4 years old
Abigail Love, 3 years old
Caleb Ray, 11 months old
Sisters!
This is what four kids under the age of 7 looks like...
Greg got offered a Branch Manager position in Boise in August. It was hard to leave Victor, but it was an opportunity too hard to pass up. So on Thursday, September 5th we loaded up the U-Haul and moved. That makes two moves in less than a year! On to our next adventure!
