Pumpkin Patch

Last week we went on a little field trip with Clark's joy school to a really fun pumpkin patch. It was so fun and our first time really seeing HUGE pumpkins. We took a hayride out to the field and picked pumpkins, went on a train ride, went to the petting farm, Clark enjoyed the Coyote Mountain slides, and we mined for marbles. It was really fun to be with friends.

Yard work :)

I want to make sure my boys have a good work ethic, so we start them young! Luckily, Clark doesn't see leaf blowing, vacuuming, helping dad with garbage duty, and other yard work as work quite yet. He still gets a kick out of marking off his chores every day. Ill enjoy it now, because Im sure it's bound to change.

Stepping Out

We've been all over town. Headed to Roseville for Cheesecake Factory last Friday night, had a picnic at the duck park in between sessions of Conference on Sunday, and after Conference took an "adventure" drive up to the mountains.

Sunday Snapshots

Sundays have been extra long since we moved here to Northern California. We miss family dinners, visiting with the siblings, and watching the cousins run around together. Back in AZ, every now and then we would take little scenic drives to kill time before our family get togethers. We drove through the desert, up to the moutons after a first snow, etc. Since the move, these scenic drives are pretty regular and have taken the name of "adventure drives." We've seen lots of pretty areas so far and today was no different. After church, naps and lunch, we went on a little scenic drive and found some fun fields. We snuck in through the barb wire and laid out a blanket and just watched kurt run free and Clark catch grasshoppers. We were lucky enough to get a few little snapshots .

19 mo.

He is absolutely adorable and we love him to pieces. It kills me that he refuses to cuddle, hug, give kisses or be held. He is constantly on the move and always grunting. He loves to hide when he hears anyone coming, he loves to play cars, he loves to wrestle clark, he loves to throw away my 3 month supply without me knowing, he loves to read books, he loves his blankie, he loves when daddy comes home, he has already crawled out of his crib, he opens door knobs, he loves to throw food across the room, he loves all things healthy, he could live off frozen gogurts and corn, he refuses to drink milk from a sippy, he loves to keep up with Clark and his friends, he does not like to sit in shopping carts, he swings one arm as he struts around the house, he loves to climb up on tables to bang on computers and laptops, he loves to play with our iPhones, he loves to be outside, he pretty much runs the show around here. I can't wait for the day this boy decides to cuddle with me....Ill continue to try every day all day,,,one of these days it's bound to take. He is a sweet little boy, but is all boy and on the move all. day. long!

Happy October

Kurt often reminds me of an animal...in the best way possible, but on this particular day after he covered himself in chocolate pudding, it was the character from teen wolf.
