Fall F-U-N

We have been SOAKING up the fall weather. It's definitely Josh's favorite time of year (hunting & football, hello!) and I love the cooler weather. We've been doing lots of things involving pumpkins. We spent a night at Cross E Ranch. We went through the corn maze, the kids played in the corn pit, and picked out some pumpkins. We went back to Cross E Ranch for Beckett's preschool field trip. We enjoyed it just as much the second time, plus we did the fun hay ride. Harlow loved that. If cows were involved you know she'll be a happy camper.

We also went to Wheeler Farm on Josh's day off. That's always a fun place to take the kids; especially right now while Harlow is in her animal loving stage.

Beckett and Harlow went to Lagoon this summer with my parents and hasn't stopped talking about it since! I promised him we would take him but summer got away from us. Instead, we went last weekend during Frightmares. It was such a blast. Beckett wasn't afraid of anything and it was a riot just watching him have the time of his life. Harlow was great on the little little kid rides but definitely got nervous on some bigger ones we took her on.

Last but not least, we went on a hike up to Cecret Lake near Alta Ski Resort. The drive up was gorgeous, the leaves are just starting to change. We took Bo along and he did great! The lake was pretty and it was fun to go on a family fall hike.

6th Wedding Anniversary

Last Friday, September 25th was our 6th wedding anniversary. We did some fun stuff this year to celebrate. We started off the day nice and early in Park City (by Canyons Resort) and went horseback riding. It was so much fun! It was the perfect fall morning-not too hot, not too cold. I loved it and totally want to do it every year.

 

 

 That night, we headed out for a night on the town. We went to Ruths Chris for dinner (delish!) and then walked around temple square afterwards. It was a fun night to be out and about downtown because Comic Con was going and there was great people watching.

 This isn't really about our anniversary but it was part of our weekend. We went to the circus! It was the first time for the kids and they LOVED it. When the show started, Harlow didn't take her eyes off of it for at least the first 45 minutes. There favorites were the animal acts of course-elephants, camels, tigers, and then the lady that shot out of the cannon. On the way there Beckett said, "I'm so excited!" about a bajillion times. It lived up to his expectations!

a few firsts...

Beckett had his first day of preschool. He goes to Little Owl Preschool with his bestie, Elliot.

 

 We went to the farm at Thanksgiving Point on Josh's day off. The kids loved it. Harlow can't get enough of those horses!

 Josh taught Beckett to ride with no training wheels! He's still working on it, but for his first time he did pretty good. He is hesitant and doesn't trust himself, but if he did (or when he does) he'll be a pro.

 Beckett had his first soccer game of the year. He did much better this year! He kicked the ball a few times, but he gets shy! Watch out for those gray wolves!

 ...and i'll always be Beckett's first kiss :) Watch out ladies! He's a catch!

a farewell & a blessing

We've had our Sundays  booked the last few weeks! First, my cousin Dax had his mission farewell. He is going to Florida (Haitian-creole speaking). They had a nice lunch set up afterwards.

The next Sunday, my nephew Klay had his baby blessing!
