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!

New Camera!!!

Ok. So it's not MY new camera- but it's my friends and she let me borrow it- thanks Sage. Here are a few pics of the kids I took. I am taking a photography class with Sage so hopefully we can get really good! I LOVED doing this. Aren't they SO cute! Check back soon for more pictures and creations I have up my sleeve... I am starting my own business!!!

From Cattle to Seattle!

Day 4
Monday was a short day since we had to be at the airport by 1pm but we packed it full of the beach and the Zoo. We went to the a peninsula right above Tacoma where there was a beautiful beach and all these great parks and the Zoo. The Zoo was great- it was an amaizing Zoo. We saw an Asian elephant, a Balooga whale, sharks, a tiger, a polar bear and lots of other cool animals! It was beautiful and perfect outside (overcast and cool) and we had the Zoo pretty much to ourselves. Then we had to say goodbye. Bye Bye Zac, Sherida and Claire!

Day 3

Day 3
We went to the County Fair and then hung out at Zac's parents house and went in the hot tub.
On Sunday we decided to go to the Puallup fair which is REALLY big and fun. Unfortunatly, it rained the whole time but we made the best of it. We went and saw all the livestock- which the kids loved! Cooper rode a few rides including the airplanes all by himself! They went pretty fast and high- he loved it(independent little sucker!) And we ate some yummy food- all of which added up to about 100 grams of fat. :) yum. Josie pigged out on the scones and got it all over the place but she was happy.
