Apple and Pumpkin Pickin'

We started the day with a little apple picking... but when we got to the orchard they said they were all out of apples...WHAT? Oh well the kids still had fun climbing trees and playing with the cousins.


Then we headed over to the one and only Pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin





Everyone found "the one" and can't wait to carve it! Happy Fall!

Coach of the year and his MVP

Travis did such an amazing job coaching Easton's Baseball team this fall! They crushed every team! Here is Easton after hitting a real home run! I think his smile says it all!

Travis had a Dad's vs. Son's baseball game to end the season. It was hilarious. The Dad's definitely had their game faces on. But the boys still beat them! It was a great way to end a perfect season.

All the boys gave Travis their number so he could coach them again this spring. It was a very fun team and one sexy coach!

Loving Fall

We toke a gorgeous drive up the canyon to enjoy some crisp fall air and some amazing views!

We stopped at the Olympic Park to see some aerialists in action, but unfortunately they had the day off.

We were all beaming with Olympic pride when we left. Each kid proclaimed that they will be in the Olympics someday.

What a month!

Maybe my youngest child will forgive me someday for not only not blogging her birthday but for only taking one picture of the whole day!

Yes it's true my little baby is now 3! She is the cutest little spitfire you have ever seen! She can go from being the happiest little girl to having the biggest melt down in less the a nano second. Thankfully those special moments are getting less frequent!:-)
The night of her birthday celebration we had a little "west side" excitment! A Fire! It was quite impressive! Just as we were finishing some delicious Dora cake and ice cream we noticed the flames quickly coming down our side of the mountain!

As the fire got closer and closer the kids were getting pretty scared. So we packed up a few things, (I grabbed the camera and the computer and the kids grabbed their american girl dolls and baseball trophies.) so cute.

The firefighters were AMAZING! Here is an aerial view of how big the fire was.

It was quite the experience to be that up close and personal with a raging fire, and we can't thank all the fireman enough who kept us safe!
