Fall leaves

The other day we took the kids across the street to play in the leaves in the church parking lot. They had SO much fun! I let Al bring Buzz cause I wanted to get pictures of him playing withhim.










They started playing 'ring around the rosies.'

And Lilly has to help Al go down...


And he wasn't very happy about it!



















They started putting leaves on their heads, and Darby's too. She loved it:)





Then Al took off and Lilly went to get him. She loves to be in charge!










These two babies are the best of friends!

Fall Staycation

Wyatt wore this cute sweater to church the other day. He is a handsome little guy.


I came into the room and Al was playing with Wyatt and Buzz. He loves his brother and always wants to make sure he is included.


We had a fun visit from the Atkinsons. It was so good to see them! I miss my Idaho friends!


A few weeks ago, we decided to go on a little 'staycation.' On Monday we stayed in Alpine and just did our own thing. We went to McDonalds, Cabella's, shopping and then to a Pumpkin Patch with some of my siblings. It was so cold but super fun! He were are at this way awesome pumpkin patch. Al was in love with the tractors.














Playing games and riding the tire horse swings.



They took us on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch to pick out the pumpkins. Mikey is deep in thought...

Wyatt was so good and didn't make a peep the whole time.


Al needed to ride in the wheel barrow 





It was kinda bumpy


Lilly hopped in too!





These two sure love each other.

Off to pick out a pumpkin!




They threw candy at us while we were on the ride, so Al had to have some. He picked this cute little pumpkin out.






I love his teary eyes


My lover! I just love this guy. He is the most fun dad!


All the kids took turns driving this tractor and wanted me to take pics.








We went to get breakfast for dinner at a little diner in PG, then went back to my parents. We were exhausted after a cold night out! The next day we drove up to American Fork canyon and first stopped at Tibble Fork. It was cold and snowy, but we got out and hiked a bit anyways. We took T-bone and he was in heaven! Alexander loved being in the backpack, we bought it this summer, but it was the first time we have actually used it. 

So beautiful up there!













Playing fetch with 'beebone"





It started snowing pretty good, so we decided to drive the Alpine Loop. The fall colors were to die for. It made me so grateful for the seasons and for nature. 



Later that day we had to take Al out on Copper. He is in love with his horsey (he thinks its his) and we had to go for a ride everyday we were down there. He is getting the hang of it better and his balance has improved a ton. His feet even reach the stirrups now. 









I love how he hangs on...


We had a little accident when we went up the hill, Copper went up to fast and Al wasn't ready and he fell of the back, and went face first into the dirt...but all was well and he got right back up on him. I was mad and of course overreacted. I'm just glad he wasn't traumatized!









Later that night Taylor and I put the Al to bed and took Wyatt to see "Captain Phillips." Ha ha I think Wyatt loved every second of it. It was fun to go to a movie, we hadn't been forever! We even treated ourselves to popcorn.
