The Countdown

Okay, so I am not sure if anyone else is paying attention to the little baby ticker over there, but it is going a little too fast for me. It is amazing the amount of emotions that can run over you in the same moment. I am so anxious and scared and excited and freaked out all at the same time. It is just around the corner!!! Heaven help me with two little boys! :)

Helping papa


I went to visit my parents for a day this week when Aaron was out of town. My dad was doing some yard work and Kaden decided to help. He was walking right along side my dad and was mimicking practically every move he made. My dad loved it and it kept Kaden preoccupied for quite some time. We are so grateful to have family close.

Celebrating Fall

We wanted to find a fun place to take Kaden to celebrate fall. I went online to look for a place that was close and not too expensive. I found this place called Tomalchoff Farms. We had never heard of it, but it sounded like fun. It turned out to be just the perfect place for a busy boy like Kaden. It had a train ride, a petting zoo, a bounce house, a big box full of corn to play in, 3 different mazes, bikes for the kids to ride around, a pumpkin patch, and many other things. It was a lot of fun and we will definitely visit them again.

Aaron was a afraid I wouldn't fit. :)Kaden on the train ride.The petting zoo.I am all about pictures and made Kaden go stand by this sign. I didn't see the sign until it was almost dark so it's not the greatest picture.

Kaden looked and looked and finally found the perfect pumpkin to call his own.

Cara and the Temple



We were able to enjoy a lovely evening with Cara and the family at the temple as she went through for the first time. The session was packed. There were 4 other girls going through for the first time. We had Mexican food afterward. Yummy!! We are so proud of her and the time is getting so close to when she reports. We are going to miss her.

You may want to start at the bottom of the posts and work your way to the top. There are quite a few posts from our anniversary and they are in reverse order. :) sorry

Last, but not least

We stopped at a little diner on the way home from the park. The food was very good. It was right next to a place that raised elk. Aaron was in heaven watching these huge animals.

I ordered the Navajo Taco. It was huge. Needless to say, I ate probably 90% of it. It was really good and I was really hungry from hiking all day.
