The Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we took the kids to the local pumpkin patch to pick out their own pumpkins. It's a really fun place and the kids had a great time, I know you couldn't tell by the look on Camden's face.

Camden thought she was strong enough to pull the wagon with five pumpkins. She's tough...but, not that tough.

Macy and Easton found their perfect pumpkins and then I had to put about 10 of them back and remind them they only needed one each.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The First Snowfall of 2008

It snowed a little on Saturday. The kids were so excited. Then Sunday it snowed even more and Brandon was smart enough to take pictures unlike me the day before, so here they are having a blast in the back yard with our dog Koda.

YES! The pictures were taken from inside we weren't going out in that...do you think we're crazy?

Yellowstone Camping Trip

The kids didn't have school last Thursday and Friday so Brandon decided he was going to take them camping. So he packed them up and they left late Wednesday after gymnastics classes. They drove to Madison campground in Yellowstone and put a tent up in the dark, started the fire and ate smores for their bedtime snack. They fell asleep to the sounds of elk bugling in the back round. It was a very cold night, about 25 degrees, so they snuggled together in one sleeping bag to keep warm.

They got to watch two of them lock antlers...which Easton loved because he keeps telling everyone he saw "two boy elks fighting over the girl elks." You can't tell that his dad likes to hunt can you?
Here they are in front of the Madison River.

And here again in front of Beryl Geyser Basin.

They also stopped by Old Faithful.

Back to School

So, summer ended and the kids had to go back to school.

Macy was excited, she loves school. Easton was

especially excited because he was starting

Kindergarten and so he got to go to "Macy's school."

Camden wanted her picture taken too!

This is Easton and two of his favorite buddies Gage (left)andTy. Can you pictures these three when they're sixteen...we're in trouble.

I had to post this picture because :-) check the kid out in the back picking his nose. I am sure his mother would be proud.
