Mother Nature's Farm

We thought it would be fun to take the kids over to Mother Nature's Farm on Saturday afternoon. It was sooo cute. The kids were able to pet and feed animals, go through a maze, decorate pumpkins, get their faces painted, go for a hay ride, bounce in a bouncy house, and before we left we even decided to bring a new pet home. She is a little yellow chick named Ning Ning (Yes like the chick from Wonder Pets). She is super cute and the kids adore her. She even likes to be held. She chirps until someone holds her. Currently she is spending a lot of time in my room in her hamster cage until I am able to get her a light and put her in the garage. We must protect her from our cat and hopefully in the future I will be able to get some sleep. Inspite of the challenges with having a chick we are thrilled! Now we have got to figure out what we will do when she is too big for the hamster cage. Hummmmm.

M and M

Mars and Miles looked so cute before we headed off to church this morning!

Miles

Oh Miles is such a fun kid. Sometimes at night he gets so hungry before bedtime and I can't send him to bed hungry so he'll either eat cereal or sometimes his favorite food in the world...a corn dog. This night he ate himself to sleep.

Happy B-day to M and M!

We celebrate Marley and Miles's Birthday for at least nine days every year...starting on Miles's Birthday October 4th and ending on Marley's Birthday October 12th. We went to my moms house tonight to celebrate. After dinner and cake we walked over to the lake near my mom's house for a little night fishing. Brad grew up with 4 brothers and 1 sister so he gets his fill of girls when he comes to see my family. Brad is cute with all of them. It's great fun when we get together! We missed you Melanie and fam, Heather and fam, Misty who's on a mission, and Grandma Stott!

HApPy BiRThdAy Mars and Miles!

Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday sweet Marley and Miles. Happy Birthday to you! Marley and Miles had a combined birthday party this year at our community pool. They had so much fun with friends and family!

Miles's Class B-day Celebration

Miles is in Ms. Cathy and Ms. Angela's class. He loves his teachers. He made his special birthday crown to wear for the day. Ms. Cathy said that he worked so hard on it and that only Miles would think of decorating one side with pirate ships and ocean life and the other with a lot of colors to be more b-day appropriate. He is quite artistic and extremely bright!

After gymnastics Brad took Miles to pick out his b-day snack. Miles came back with Scooby Doo fruit snacks for the boys and Tweety fruit snacks for the girls along with juice boxes. I grabbed Marley from her class to come and join me for his special celebration. Mars was so excited to help Miles pass out his snacks to the class.

Happy Birthday Ashley!

One of my bestest friends in the whole world, Ashley had her 30th birthday September 22nd. She celebrated with family and friends at the Monastary. We had so much fun spending time with her and her family. We love you Ash!
