Pumpkin Carving

We had a pumpkin carving party with our two grandmas! This year we made a Cinderella Coach, Tinkerbell, a cat, and a classic pumpkin face. I was impresses by the efforts! Thank you Nanna and Granne for jumping on in!!!

Pumpkin Patch

This is our favorite pumpkin patch...Cottonwood Farms. Animals, mazes, fresh apples, hay rides and lots of pumpkins! We will come again to get pumpkins, soon!

Lion King 3 D

It was so much fun to go see Lion King with our friend Jack and mom Corinne...in 3D!!! The glasses were hilarious...as were their comments:

"That is so close!?" - Rylie
"The TV is so big!" - Jack
"This is my favorite part!" - Rylie, who has never seen this movie before
"This is so cool Ryree!" - Jack, multiple times

Kid Vids...

Willow is actually two months old now, but here is a brief video capturing her at 1.5 months…




Rylie is becoming a great big sister. She and Jaden can have the best time together. Here is Rylie “reading” a book to J…



J things it is so funny when we "repeat" what she says...

Good times...

Here is Willow meeting Aunt Cindy for the first time...




Rylie and Jaden have discovered a chore they enjoy doing...together...carrying the poop bag to the garbage. SO GREAT!!!




Jaden is VERY intested in potty time...but a bit early to actually learn. Here she is so excited about her froggy potty.



Rylie at preschool, learning about babies...

The past week or so...

Chad built an elliptical machine, we took Willow to her first CU football game, Jordan Winder came for a visit, the girls all had a picnic and a splashin the Boulder Creek, and our first (of many) visits to the pumpkin patch!

Butterflies

Jaden has been interested and excited about bugs lately...so Willow, J and I, spent a few hours at the Butterfly Pavilion. We met Rosie the tranchula, saw HUGE cockraoches, etc, touched a few star fish, had story time about bugs, and of course walked through the butterfly garden where we got "buzzed" by many butterflies! It was special to have that time just with J (and sleeping Willow).

Berry picking

Rylie and I did a first together yesterday...we picked berries from the vine. Delicious, educational, and fun! We road a tractor out to the fields, met the family farm pig, climbed on a tractor, and picked a few boxes of berries...and ate a few along the way. Berry Patch Farms was a hit!

Loving on Willow

Willow still is our sleeping Willow...but she does have a few more wake times now that she is 8 weeks! Time has flown. Oh how we love this little wonder. She even had dinner with us, at the table for the first time tonight...
