Pumpkin Carving!

I just have to say I love our days together!

I am not sure why, but this is how we play with monster trucks

This is how I found him during his afternoon nap

Starting to carve the pumpkin

This is James "I don't want to touch that"

Conference Weekend

I love watching/ listening to Conference. Having 2 small ones makes it hard, that is why I am so thankful for the media and all the ways I can watch/listen/ and read them again.

We did not do too much but try and watch conference. The kids just played together.

Millie drooled, James was concerned

So James went and got a wipe to clean it up

One major thing was that we took off one side of James crib. I know we are crazy right?? I kept having this thought that it needed to come off. I think he is the only kid I know who tries to climb into his crib, and never trying to climb out. He maybe cried for 2 minutes, and then we found him like this...

Pumpkin Patch

We went and got our pumpkins today! The Country Mercantile is an awesome place. It had a huge pumpkin field where a tractor takes you out to go look for your own pumpkin. It has 2 straw towers, a corn maze, petting zoo and in the afternoon a few carnival rides. We all had a blast :)

We got lost, and came back out through the entrance. We later learned the trick is to take every turn to the left.

Last Green Beans

Today we had to do the last batch of green beans. James loves sitting on the counter to help out!

His favorite was to put green beans in, and then pour them out.

Cat Tale Zoo

Well Jon had planned on hunting all this week, BUT since he got his bear on Saturday he came home Monday. We decided that he would still take all week off and we would spend it as a family. On Tuesday I cleaned house and let Jon play with the kids. Wednesday we decided to take a trip up to Spokane to go to their Cat Tale Zoo. It is a very small zoo with 36 cats (lions, tigers, bobcats, and cougars) along with 2 bears. We were sad we came at a time where the animals were taking afternoon naps. James loved pointing at any animal that was moving. His bear was the favorite, only because it was pacing the fence the whole time. We also got to have cold stone (we don't have that here), it was a welcomed treat :)

He just wanted down to follow the bear

They have 4 monkeys to set on, James really liked this one. 

And yes Millie and James came home with a new stuff animal :)
