Apple Orchard Fun

We went to apple orchard near our house and bought apple cider. Then we walked around and played in the hay piles, corn maze, and went on a nature walk. It was really fun, and the boys had a blast. I love all the changing colors.

brocks kickflip

Brock saw me do some flip tricks, and decided to do it on his finger board.

Only 359 days left of being in my 20's

So I turned 29 on the 5th and I am a little weirded out that this is the last year of being in my 20"s. I told Burr I needed to do something crazy like get my nose pierced. He thought I was being serious and said no way. So maybe I was being a little serious. It seams like once you hit thirty you have to grow up. I don't feel ready for that. Even though I have been married for 8 years and have 3 little boys I still fell really young (or just immature). I had an awesome birthday. Burr bought me a sewing machine, which I love! I went to Joanne's to get some things and I started my first project, two jean quilts for the boys. Burr bought me an ice cream cake from DQ, and we went out to dinner as a family. It was such a fun day.

Happy baby

Bryce is growing so fast. He started smiling last month. He is a very happy baby that loves to be held and cuddled. I wish I could sit and hold him all day long and probably would if I didn't have two others that need me. I love my boys!

Finished project

With a little help and a lot of encouragement from a great friend I finally finished a knitting project. I love the way it turned out. I meant to make it for Bryce but it actually fits Brock better. Next project a binki attachment.

"Look mom it's Joseph Smith"

I gave the boys some fudge pops and after wiping up some of the mess Brekken discovered this.


Do you see it? It totally looks like him. I died laughing when Brekken told me, "look mom its Joseph Smith." O.K. so it looks like a profile of a man with a beard right.


Oh how I HATE sticky children. But they are pretty cute.

strawberry picking

Last week we went to a farm just 15 minutes outside of town to do some strawberry picking. Brekken was so excited about finding "the best ones". Brock had fun also stepping on the strawberry plants. Arrrg! He is so fast. Bryce and mom didn't do a whole lot of picking. He was upset that he was woken up from a good nap. The strawberries were delicious and I made jam with my friend Leslie Terry with most of it. My batch didn't turn out but it is some great tasting syrup to go on pancakes and ice cream. I can't wait for raspberries.
