Pumpkin Patch

Tonight for family home evening. . . We went to a pumpkin patch! To choose out some pumpkins. It was so much fun and they had more than pumpkins. We didn't realize this til we got there.

They had animals. Yes, that is a Kangaroo.

Choosing a pumpkin

Running through the pumkin patch

Joe with our pumpkins. Love him :)

Jace and daddy in the Kids Maze. He loved this maze! Really didnt ever want to come out even when he found the exit. He'd just keep running through.



Corn Seed play pit! How cool is that! You would sink when you stepped on it. Some kids would sink their feet in deep.


Carving out the pumpkin!

Messy boy

The final product!
Joe's definitely wins. But I dont know, I guess you can decide.
(Yeah he wins)

So much fun!! One of the funnest evenings we had out in a while! We loved it.

Sum it up Summer time

Here is a quick sum up of the rest of our summer.

Our new neighbors upstairs had us over for family home evening and the kids played with this awesome bubble maker machine they had.

We had a family reunion/celebrated my Aunt Carrie's 50th birthday. To celebrate a luau was put on.

Aunt Carrie doing some Hawaiian dancing.

Jace's new found Boy Cousin Asher. They are surrounded by girls in the family. So they had fun seeing each other.

My cousin James doing a native american hoop dance for our family talent show. He learned the dance from living legends the year we were on it. He's on it again this year. So anybody who wants to see a good show should go see it. I'm serious. It's good!

My Aunt Carrie's boys doing a sing and dance number for her to "You Are My Sunshine." So funny and cute.

The Fall Crop together again for the first time in 3 years. My grandma called us the Fall Crop because we were all born in the fall. The first four of us on the couch were born within 6 weeks of each other.

Then we celebrated our 3rd Anniversary on the 17th of Aug. We went out to eat at Zuppas and saw a movie.

Then we went back to the place Joe proposed. It is now a construction sight. Haha. So we didn't really get a good picture and we had to sneak on to the property. Joe helped me hop the fance.

Next to the spot where he proposed. Where joe is standing is more where he proposed but like I said it's all dirt and bull dosers right now.

Joe Reinacting his proposal. Haha

Then I wanted to go see where we used to live when we met. Just in case they decide to knock it down someday because it is pretty old. I got picture of both our doors but Joe didn't want to stand next to his.

Lastly, last week we took Joe's little brother Ryan to the MTC. He will be serving in the Lima Peru mission. He was pretty nervous and excited

The family that was there when we dropped him off.

It was a fun summer! Hope fall brings more fun! Actually it already has. I need to post what we've done.

Lagoon

A couple of weeks ago we went to Lagoon with some of my family. It was a lot of fun as always. I have basically gone every summer since I was six, with a few summers skipped. I love this place. This year was Jace's first time riding rides. We went last year when he was 2 months old. I think he really enjoyed riding them for the most part. I probably enjoyed watching him and taking pictures more than he did riding them. The pictures are all of Jace, I didn't get a group shot or even a Joe and I shot. Which also, Joe went on more rides this year! Yeah Joe! and I went on less. . . I must be getting old :) I'm proud of joe because he is overcoming his rollercoaster fears. I love it. It's fun having him as my riding partner :)

Jace's riding partner was his cousin Siah. Them on the little boats. I think this one and the merry go round was his favorite.

Helicopter ride. He gave Siah this look a lot. Wonder what he was thinking? Cute.

Them driving away in the little adventure car

You can tell he was ready for break by this point :)

Us on the Merry go Round and his last ride. I'm pretty sure Lagoon was his favorite place. As you can see on his face. haha. Im sure he'll grow to love it more as the rest of us have. :P Yay Lagoon!

Possesed!

Okay! So my blog is officially possesed! I seriously can't do anything with it. Any background I try doesn't work or only works for a day and then disapears. It's changing colors all kinds. And my videos are still white! What's everyone else seeing? Will you let me know, Cause maybe it's just my computer. It would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Ward Talent Show, Featuring Joe :)

Joe singing at the ward talent show. I got this from a girl in my ward who decided she wanted to record it after he started singing. I've been meaning to post it but wasn't able to. You'll probably have to turn up your volume all the way to hear him.

Let me know if it still doesn't work.

Moved

So one of our latest things in life is that we moved from our sweet little apartment at Wymount. Or as one of our bishops refered to as our Rabbit Hutch. We both are now graduated so we got kicked out pretty quickly after. We miss it there, especially the friends we made. I had a really hard time at first, a few cries. However, the ward here has nicely welcomed us, so we are slowly getting adjusted. But there definitely aren't as many little friends for Jace and there aren't that many people close by from our ward. The upside is that the apartment has more space and is a little bit nicer (pictures to come). Joe right now is just finishing up his EMT Intermediate training and his application to PA school. So we have decided to stay in the area until either Joe gets a different job somewhere else or we go to PA (Physican Assistant, a Grad program to work under a doctor) school. He is really anxious and excited about it, so I really hope he gets in. As for me, I am still a mommy to Jace and am continually trying to find things for us to do. Any ideas? Also, Jace has become the pickiest eater! I dont know what happend! Any suggestions on that?

Blog Malfunction??

Okay. So my blog is having some major problems. I wouldn't be suprised if you couldn't read this right now. So it started out with me just not being able to view my videos, then a few weeks ago all that was in place of my videos was a white square. and now my background is gone and I can't even read what I have written on my blog. Anyone else having the same problem or know what to do?? It just keeps getting worse!
