The Pumpkin Patch

Here we are at Carver Farms, the local pumpkin patch. Every year the kids look forward to coming to pick out the best pumpkins for their jack-o-lanterns. Sometimes we also get popcorn or homemade caramel apples, yummy!!

Our Trip to Yellowstone August 2009

This was a fun hike we took up to the natural bridge. We got to ride our bikes most of the way, then we hiked up the last little bit. The kids had a blast and it was beautiful!

Fairmont Hot Springs

On the way home from Yellowstone we stopped at Fairmont Hot Springs. I haven't ever been to a hot springs before and I had so much fun! It was like swimming in a giant bathtub, what is better than that? The kids had a blast going down the waterslide and even Cole loved being in the water because it was sooo warm. These pics are of the kids playing at the campground we stayed at while we were there.

Presenting.... Pinocchio!

At the end of the summer, Janna got to participate in a theater camp that one of my very talented young women did for her senior project. Janna had so much fun and loved every minute. At the end of the week, I got to enjoy watching their adorable performance of Pinocchio. All the kids did a great job!

Janna played one of Gepetto's dolls. She didn't have any lines, but I think she was a natural! And, of course, she was so cute in her costume!

Cole's Oreo Adventure

Here is Cole at about 9 months old enjoying a yummy snack of oreos!!

Is he the perfect poster boy or what?

Rub-a-dub! Time to get cleaned up!
