Up to Utah again... (part 1)
















My husband called me from work Tues. morning to let me know the sad news of his grandma passing away. We decided that all of us needed to be there so we packed up the car that night and headed for Utah the next morning. We stayed at the Allers Inn( Mike and Wendy, Curts brothers house), for 2 nights. The kids had a blast hanging out with their cousins, Max loves Nicks room! Mike and Wendy surprised Max with a birthday donut on Friday(his birthday is on the 10th), he was in Heaven, he loves donuts! We took the kids up to Rock Canyon that morning to goof around up in the mountains, it was really cold so we didn't last to long being outside!

Happy Birthday Max!
















I can't believe that my baby is 5! He had his first friend Birthday party on Oct. 3rd. We did a Halloween theme, I love that his birthday is in October! We played pin the nose on the pumpkin, dig up spiders in sandbox, we had a bat pinata and we made stick puppets. Max had a lot of fun with all of his little friends.
Happy Birthday Max, we love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our family.

Down on the farm!












Max had a fieldtrip a few weeks ago at Schnepf farms so I decided to take Luke and Madi with us. Of course they were excited to get out of school for the day, and all of them had a blast! They all wanted to ride the train first so we did and then they wanted to check out the rides. One nice thing for us is that hardly anyone was there so no waiting to get on the rides for us! They loved the swings and they stayed on them a couple times in a row because no one was in line. After the rides we went and watched the pig race, Max really got a kick out of that! That lasted for 20 mins or so and we decided that it was a good time to have lunch. After lunch the kids wanted to ride the train again, so we did. We also went to a dog frisbee show and we all loved that! This one dog caught 15 in a row, pretty amazing! The kids had fun on the hayride, on one stop we got to feed the deers and on the other stop we went through the maze, that didn't last to long, the kids got a little scared! Off to the rides again, Luke and Madi wanted to do the rock wall and they did great, Luke made it to the top! All of them wanted to check out the animals so we did and this one goat really liked Max and followed him around, Max was a little nervous and asked his sister to come rescue him! We ended the day by picking out pumpkins, it was a great day down on the farm!
