Fall is in the Air...


This is my sister Mackenzie. She comes to babysit and hangout sometimes, we love that!! My Mom is made our boys pumpkin hats. Wesley has been wearing his every chance we get!

Me and the boys went to Sauvie Island with some friends and had the best time. I loved it SO much that I went back the next week with Logan. Both times we went the weather was so nice. When we went back with Logan it was on a Thursday afternoon. It was nice and quiet so we were really able to enjoy ourselves.





I just love this cow train. A tracker pulls the little cow carts around the farm.

My favorite part of the day was the hayride out to the pumpkin Patch.

Every year we look forward to Lori and Verne's 'Barn Party.' We have dinner, donuts and Joe's Place cider and we carve pumpkins. They decorated the barn with hay bales, spider webs and ghosts!! Thanks Lori and Verne for a fun night!



(thanks for the pictures Lindsi :)

Can you guess which pumpkin Logan carved?
Yesterday we braved the rainy weather and went to Bizi Farms with my family. Even though it was rainy, it was tons of fun! This was our first time, we loved it.
We went through the corn maize. It was really muddy but that just made it more interesting!


It was great to get out and do something fun with my family. Doesn't happen often because it's hard to work out all the schedules.

6 Months Old Already!

Our little Wesley turned 6 months old yesterday! Wesley is so smiley and giggly... it kills me! He is just too cute. Here are some pictures of him from the past couple months that I haven't posted...
After about a month he is FINALLY starting to figure out how to eat baby food. Sorta. He still doesn't like peas though!
This was taken yesterday. He lost his hair but it is growing back. I love his blonde fuzzy head!

He is pretty much always in this position. He won't stay on his back... he always rolls over and pulls himself up like this!
Wesley is comfortably fitting in 12-18 month size clothing. CRAZY!
I hope the next 6 months don't go by as fast as the last!!!

Utah Trip

Logan and I decided to take our own little trip to Utah to visit the James' and some other relatives. This is the first trip that we have taken on our own. Logan and I felt like real grown-ups with our two kids in the back seat. We loved it! We stayed at the James' home in Roy. If there's one thing you should know about Heidi, it is that she knows how to have a good time. She is always up for anything and she has lots of energy! We did not waste any time, everyday we were out doing something fun! She took us to do all the fun things around her town. We had the best time!!!!
We went to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden.


Baylor was in HEAVEN with all the dinosaurs around! He kept saying 'WHOAAA' and 'RAR RAAAAAR'. It was so entertaining!


After the dinosaur park we picked up some popsicles and bread at the grocery store and went to the 'Duck Park'...

There were SO MANY ducks... and geese. I thought it would be fun to pose next to them for a picture... but then they got so close to me and it totally freaked me out I just threw the bread and ran away.
Baylor had fun chasing them off.



The next day I got to see my Grandma Davis! She lives in Salt Lake so we met up for breakfast and went back to her cute new house to hangout for awhile. I just love my Grandma, it was so fun to see her!


Later in the day we rode on the front runner train to the train station in Ogden. Again, Baylor loved it! He kept saying 'I want choo choo' after that.





The train station has a bunch of old trains for the kids to climb on. They love it!


The next day we went to a river. Heidi said the adults need to have their fun too. We loaded up the tubes and went down the rapids. Heidi and I started getting creative... going down head first and then Heidi had the best idea... to go down with no tubes at all. I wasn't quite prepared for that. I banged up my legs (they had cuts and bruises from the rocks) and I about drowned. This reminded me of all the crazy things I used to do back when I was fearless... and it reminded me of why I am NOT fearless anymore!!!!!!
On our last day we went to Lagoon! Logan's cousin Morgan and his wife and kids came with us. The kids had a blast going on ride after ride... and us adults had our fun too! The girls and the guys took turns going on the roller coasters and other big rides. There were hardly any lines so we got to go on tons. Our favorite was the old white roller coaster. Me, Heidi and Melanie went on it three times in a row within about 10 minutes!!! We were laughing and running around like little kids!




Baylor and Tyson got along well. They were so adorable going on rides together. All the kids loved this car ride. Logan took these cute pictures!



Wesley was named Wesley 'Morgan' after THIS cousin. I'm so glad that we got to spend time together with our families. We will definitely be doing this again!!!
We got to Lagoon right when it opened, and we were one of the last to leave. (I'm not kidding, the lights were off and there was no one around when we were walking out!) We got our money's worth and had a great time!
Thanks for the fun vacation Heidi and Ryan!!!!!
