Pumpkin "Patch"

We found a new Pumpkin patch this past weekend. It was a cute little family farm with pumpkins, gourds, squash, corn maze, a few trees full of apples you could pick for free and some fun play. We had a good time. And, I've been enjoying the 20+ pound Blue Hubbard Squash that I bought!

 

 They had goats, chickens and a peacock. They also had some kittens that the kids had fun petting.

 Dad and Kate playing in the corn.

 

Wes enjoyed a nap while we were there!

 They had fun playing on the teeter totter. Morgan made a friend and enjoyed playing with her on the teeter totter because they were more weight compatible than her and her brothers :)

 The kids had fun rolling around in this pipe!

Morgan showing us how she twists her tooth. She lost it on the way home!

Katelyn got a haircut.....

thanks to her loving brother, Garrett. "She wanted her haircut, Mom!" he said.  Thought they were playing nicely so I went to take a shower. And before I left I specifically told Garrett to put the scissors away! Did he listen???? Of course not. I came down and saw a chunk of hair on the floor...and then another...and then another. And wisps of hair all over!! He took nice chunks out of one side of her hair. Of course we were in a hurry to get out the door and Katelyn had a dirty diaper. In changing her diaper I realized Garrett also cut the pretty off the brand new shirt that I just bought her yesterday! And, I only bought it because of these cute skinny pants I saw that matched the shirt and probably wont match anything else- and that I paid more than I usually do for pants because they were so stinkin' cute. So there. I'm not happy and Gar is in deep trouble :)
UPDATE: Garrett got home from preschool and I realized he cut his brand new shirt, also. Nice job, bud.

General Conference

We watched General Conference all weekend! It was fabulous....someday I'll actually be able to sit and listen and watch, uninterrupted. But, the kids did pretty good listening and doing quiet activities while we tried to watch as much as we could. Here are some of the activities the kids did...

Made homemade jello playdough--grape---yum. Katelyn enjoyed playing with it! She wanted to eat it since it smelled so good.

Enjoyed doing iron beads...I just realized none of them ended up getting ironed. They just ended up all over the floor :)

Fruit loop necklaces

 

 

 Slept :) Unfortunately, I didn't at all. Just little Wes man.

Morgan and Garrett went to play at a friends house. Had to snap a picture of them holding hands as they ran there!

 

 

 Tinker toys

 

Hangin' out

 

Homemade hot fudge sauce (and braided bread)

 

Theron "dressed up" for Sunday session. Someone PLEASE steal this shirt from him. It makes me nauseous every time he puts it on with his workout pants

 .

Dressed up like Batman

 

Batman did puzzles online

 

This was the next day, but I had to snap a photo. Katelyn is wiping her dolls bum :) 

 

 

The weekend ended with puking by two kids. One ALL over the new couch....lasagna that is :( So bad it was dripping when we pulled it off the couch. We pulled off the cover and Theron hosed off the cushion and I threw the covers in the wash. Do ya think it's ruined???? I'm scared to put it back together and find out!

 

Love how Katelyn always puts her shoes on the wrong feet. She' so silly. I'm sitting here while she's looking at her shoes and saying "yucky" and asking me what's on the bottom of her shoe. Here's our conversation:

Kate: Mommy, poo poo?

ME: No, I think you stepped in gum.

Kate: Pung?

No: Gum

Kate: Mung?

Me: No.... gum.

Kate walks away. she just can't get it :) She's still learning to talk and some sounds are coming really slowly :)

Happy Berry Picker

Best Auntie. Doesn't she look like she wants to be hired?

 

First Day of School!

I'm not claiming to try and catch up, but was going through pictures and wanted to post first day of school pics! Karsten started 4th, Morgan 1st and Garrett is in his last year of Preschool! Garrett and his buddy/neighbor, Talon, go to school together.

How did he get so big already!

 

Little Wes man is 2 1/2 months old !! He's so easy going and so happy (and so cute :) ). We love this kid!
