Pumpkin Patch and Park!

 
We started the day off at Linder Farms for carters preschool field trip.  It was super chilly this morning but as the sun got up higher, it did warm up a bit! First on the agenda was the corn maze.  it was great fun, and yes, we got lost! What good is a corn maze if you don't get lost?
 
 

 
Next up, picking pumpkins!  Carter picked a really cool half green half orange one!

After we picked our pumpkins, we went and saw the animals.  There was all kinds; pigs, rabbits, chickens, goats, sheep, and a token dog! Here is Carter by the cows!
 
 Next up was snack time!  Carter is with his buddies Inara and Orion.

 After the pumpkin patch, we picked up Tanner and went to the new park in Meridian.  It was a blast!
 Swings!
 
 The brothers spinning.  I thought Carter was going to "toss his cookies" he was spinning so fast, but all was well!
 
 More spinning!
 
 Tanner spinning and getting dizzy! In fact, being dizzy became the main focus of the afternoon as they spent a lot of time rolling down the hill too!
 Hadley hiking back up the hill to roll down again!
 
 It is a pretty big and steep hill which makes for a very good roll down!
Tanner stopping half way down out of sheer dizziness!
 
 
 
Today was a fun filled adventure!  It was great to spend some one on one time with Carter too!

A little catch up!

 
It's been a little while!  We've been busy!  I have been very thankful for my wonderful friends and family over the past 2 weeks.  The kids all got the flu the same week my washer and dryer broke.  Not exactly the easist thing in the world!  Katie made me dinner one night (It's so great to be 4 minutes away from each other!) And Grandma brought us lunch one day too!  It''s such a treat to have food brought to me!
 
 
 
Once we recovered from the flu and I got a new washer and dryer we were up and ready to play!
 
 The next few weeks were consumed with tractors, back ho's, family and friends!
 
 The tractors have become a staple item in our yard and have provided hours of entertainment!
 
 The hole they dug for the drains ended up being 12 feet deep!

 Dad and Sue came to visit and we had a wonderful weekend with them which even included a dinner at Barbacoa!
 
 Daddy has been busy doing cement and Tanner even helped too!
 
 More digging!
 
 The kids with our tractor!
 
 Chelsea and Makayla came to play and we had a fun filled day!

The Boise Open

 We had the opportunity to go to the Boise Open last Sunday at Hillcrest Country Club with our neighbors and friends, Jock and Julie.  We had such a a great time.  I have never seen professional golf played live before me, it was awesome!  Much more exciting than I anticipated and at the same time very relaxing! Loved it!
 We walked all around, ate lunch, saw the Oscar Meyer Wiener mobile, and finally landed ourselves in the stands overlooking the 18th hole.  It was superb!
 The winning putt!
 
Jock grew up in a house across the street from Hillcrest and so spent all his life playing golf there.  He still holds some records! It's fun to have famous friends!

 Da Boys!
 Carter started Preschool on Tuesday and was not in the mood for first day of school pictures.  I love our preschool, I never wanted to leave it with Tanner!  I had wished they had Kindergarten! And now, that Tanner is in Kindergarten, I realize just how well Friendship Celebration prepared him for Kindergarten and it makes me so happy!
 He was being a downright little stinker about it. 
 After some time, and a walk, and a little play at the park, he turned his mood around.
 Hooray for preschool!
 Big Carter!
 The brothers!

 Since Tanner had lost a tooth a few weeks back, he got to take home the lost tooth bag from Mrs. Buxton's Kindergarten class.  Its pretty fun! It has a stuffed tooth, a few books about loosing teeth, supplies to make your own book about losing teeth as well as a class book I need to fill out for the classroom.  It's so much fun! Kindergarten Rocks!
