New park!!!

Yeah! Another park to play at! This one is AMAZING though. It's over 50 acres right up against the mountains- it's beautiful. There are 5 baseball diamonds, 2 soccer fields, 2 basketball courts, 6 pavilions, a water park, a dog park, biking trails around the whole park, a mountain bike course, skating rink, snow hill and not to mention the AWESOME and HUGE playgrounds! With so much new and innovative fun equipment. There is a big "giant" who has fallen and he makes all these sounds and you can play all over him and when you stick your hand in his mouth he yawns and in his nose- he sneezes. It's really cool. This is our 52nd park here in Fort Collins- amazing. It is absolutely awesome here.

Bath time!

Here are the two crazy monkeys. Do you thing it's time for a hair cut or what?! They are so funny together. Cooper just wants Josie to play with him SO bad and Josie is perfectly fine playing by herself. But she does love her big brother and they have lots of fun together.

Pumpkin Patch!

We had play group at a local pumpkin patch and it couldn't have been a nicer day! It was so sunny out and about 75 degees! Here we all are.. taking a hay ride, playing in the kiddie hay maze and hanging out.

Alamosa....

Joe had the "Mission of Mercy" clinic he had to go to in Alamosa, Co. And for some reason he actually talked me into bringing the kids and driving 6 hours each way! What was I thinking?! There were some fun times- mostly not so fun times- Josie got an ear infection and kept us all up- all night- every night! We were literally up every twenty minutes. Other than that, Alamosa was fun. There was a water park in our hotel so that kept our spirits up!

Parkin' with Porter...

Today we went to the park with Porter and Sage. Sage and I wanted some new models besides our own kids so we swapped. Man- Porter is impossible to get a good shot of! I mostly got the top of his head, his cheek, and his backside. Porter- it's a good thing your so dang beautiful to make up for it! And I just had to add this one of Cooper.

Beautiful girl...

Seriously can I love her any more?! She is the most perfect baby- and quite photogenic I might add! She is doing so good- she started crawling a couple weeks ago and justs gets around everywhere. She just sits and plays mostly by herself and watches Cooper. She is pulling herself up on everything and I bet she will be walking here in the next month or so! Walking at 9 months-YIKES!

We LOVE fall!!!

Fall is my favorite time of the year. Everything is just SO beautiful and there is so much fun stuff to do! Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, haunted houses, trick or treating, Sunday drives to see the leaves changing, Halloween decorating... we love it!! Today we went to a pumpkin patch right by our house. We rode the hay ride, watched a pumpkin get launched about 100 yard, ate chili and picked out some pumpkins....

Saturday mornings...

Ahhh... we love Saturday mornings. Joe gets to be home with the kids and we get to make french toast and hang out in our jammies. Cooper loves hanging out with Joe and playing on "the big bed". Here are a few pics from this morning.

Porter's B-day party!

Cooper's good friend Porter turned two today! He had a beautiful and fun party at a park at the base of Big Thompson Canyon. It was SO gorgeous there! They had this adorable park and beautiful river that ran right next to us. It was a perfect fall night- about 65 degrees the whole time- have I mentioned we LOVE it here!? There were lots of fun people there...too many to name.

Red Feather Lakes

We went on a Sunday drive up the Poudre Canyon this past weekend and had a great time. It looks like we caught the tail end of the fall foliage- everything was yellow and mostly fallen. But still pretty- none the less! We found a dirt road that lead us up to a few secluded lakes and some great hiking. Cooper had a blast and always asks to go to "the mountains", as you can see he found the mud...

Porter and Cooper

Cooper and his good friend Porter played at the park while Sage and I were taking some pics for our photography class. They were having so much fun playing in the prairie dog holes- throwing rocks down inside, yelling for them, listening to see if they were making sounds and throwing dirt of course!
