October Fun

My new taste of Heaven - a perfect fall time farm that I forgot the name of.

I wish you could hear the sound effects of this picture.  Joseph and Sadie were having a blast scooping and dumping, plowing and driving, scooping and dumping, etc.  Who knew corn could be so fun!

KateLyn loves rocking horses.

New Fun:  Riding down the stairs in a tunnel.

New hat?

Playing in the Fortress of Boxes.  Thanks to Grandpa Brent, it was amazing - secret doors, different rooms, ceilings, a kid's paradise.  I kept the boxes for 4 weeks to Joseph irritation because I knew my dad was coming and he could create this perfect place for our girls to play.

Friends who play in the mud need to get their feet clean.

Wedding Celebration

Image
Testing out the dance floor

Image
Avannie got to help make the flower girls bouquets.  It was one of the best parts of her day!  

Image
"Sadie - you can't eat ice cream until you finish your chicken and rice."

 My cute parents with my girls. 
 (KateLyn had enough after the first 15 minutes so she went to bed.)

Image
All the brother-in-laws served Farr's Ice Cream.  Yum!

Image
Joseph breaking out his sweet moves! 

Image
 Sadie learned the "Window Washing" technique.  She was in heaven with dancing.

Image
 Beautiful!  And best way to celebrate a wedding!

Morgan's Splash Pad

Image
Sadie's Ice Cream Shop is OPEN!  "Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, and ummmm Mint!"

Image
Sadie stayed along the edges for most of the time as she didn't want to get too wet.  And when she did, she would run to dry off as fast as she could.  She's just like her momma.

Image

Image
 KateLyn couldn't get enough of the water!  She loved it!
Image
 Break time for a treat!

Thanks for bringing us to the Splash Pad!

Man of my Dreams

Gosh, I would follow this guy anywhere - even on a mountain bike.

Best Birthday Ever

After a wonderful day at just the normal stuff and a revelation-receiving experience at the temple, I thought I had had the greatest birthday.  Included was sparklers on the breakfast tray.  Perfect touch.  But at 9:00 pm, Joseph starts making a bed downstairs in the basement.  He is exhausted and sick, so I was really confused what he was doing.  His response, "You never know who might come to visit."  Bah, my kitchen wasn't as tidy as it should have been after having a babysitter, the toys were still out, etc.  So I started tidying up.  Well, I don't like the unexpected - at all.  And I really don't like sleeping with the doors unlocked.  Joseph was in bed ready to sleep, but I was anxious.  "What time will our guest be arriving?"  "Sometime between 9:15 and 10:30 pm."  Okay, I can stay awake that long... Well, I fell asleep on the couch to be woken up at 11 pm by KateLyn and still no one was here.  I finally fell asleep.  This morning, I woke up to find a square tupperware, 2 inches tall on the counter.  Yep, a URE was in my house.  

Brooke and Clint came up for the weekend!!!  It has been perfect!  How I love having family around!  Today, we went to a space museum.  I think Clint had the most fun of all of us.  He will tell you that he beat all the high scores on the rocket-landing simulator.  He was pretty pleased with that.  :)  Although, I think Brooke is the most natural at landing moonships as she can do it on the first try.  :)

This is a infrared exhibit that we could dance infront of, well, KateLyn was so short that she couldn't be seen by the camera.  That didn't stop her though from waving her arms all around.  
Image

Joseph crashed landed a couple of times, but Brooke was a natural.

Moonship

 Brooke was the best weather forecaster I have ever seen.  After she was done, we got to watch her clip.  She was great!

Everyone is at the car getting ready to go but Sadie is in her own little world collecting wild flowers.
