Corn Belly's x2

We made it to one of our most favorite fall activities twice this year--Corn Belly's!!  We went once on opening day with our friends the Pasquett's who are new to our neighborhood, and once with Daddy when Mommy was recovering from surgery.  Stay tuned for some shots of some of the best activities at Corn Belly's.

In the Princess/Prince Playland we get to wear costumes.  We are jumping and running around in a princess bounce house.

Hike to Bridal Veil Falls

Another flashback: (will I ever be writing about what is currently going on?)

On Labor Day we wanted to go hiking with the kids.  We have not hiked to Bridal Veil Falls for a while.  So we drove up the canyon.  As we approached Aspen Grove there were cars parked everywhere.  We wondered what was going on.  Scott had to drop us off at the trail head and go on a hike just to park the car.

While waiting we snapped a few shots.  We noticed there sure happened to be a lot of people going on this hike.  We had no idea.  As we began hiking the trail was practically two long lines.  One going up to the falls and one coming back.  So glad that we decided to do the one hike that ALL of Utah County also decided to do.  The kids were great hikers most of the way.  A little over half way Eric decided he was done and threw a great big fit.  He wanted to go back.  Scott was a trooper and carried him the rest of the way.  We sort of had a fun time at the falls.  Among the hundreds of people there we found two vacant rocks to sit on where we could enjoy a little snack and throw things in the water.

We love water as a hiking destination.

Even if it is freezing.

My beautiful daughter.

My handsome boys.

Can you see the falls behind all those people?  I think they were beautiful.

Now carry me back too.

I'm Here Too

Well, mom, if you are going to do a post like that on Rubie you need to show that I have been around too.  I have been doing just as many cool things as Rubie.  Look on and you will be amazed.

There we are at a lookout point at Bryce Canyon.  We went to Bryce when Daddy got back from his long army training.  It was one of our funnest camping trips.

I really wasn't feeling too well our first day there.  While Rubie and Daddy were fishing I took a nap in the car.

I woke up in time to have a turn.  We didn't catch anything though.  That was disappointing.  I had the net ready to bring in a fish.

We hiked and I wasn't too happy, because again I wasn't feeling well.  But I tried to put on a happy face for the camera.

Thank goodness Daddy is strong and could carry me.  He can always help me to feel better.

On a hike.  We watched some horses.

I love going to Orem Summerfest.  The rides are so fun!!

Oh my goodness I love cotton candy!!

I needed a break before the parade and fireworks.  Yes, I can really still sleep like that.

 I LOVED going to Hogle Zoo with all my best friends.

We are monkeys!

This guy is drawing an amazing pictures of the Tigers.  I want to draw like that!!

A really big snake.

Inside an ancient tortoise shell.

This summer I took a few classes at Kids Village.  Mom thought it would help me feel more comfortable when preschool started.  It worked.  I loved the summer classes and am loving going to preschool.  I have great teachers and enjoy the kids in my classes.  I really love learning!!

I'm excited to be attending school!

We attended the Freedom Festival in July.  We forgot to take pictures.  But we did get a few of our ride on this roller coaster.

The Wilson family  came over to our house on the 4th of July for some celebrating.  We had a good dinner, water fight, and patriotic devotional, and fireworks in the street.

Love the slip 'n slide!!

Blasting cousin Alec.

Water balloons!

Daddy participated in the Spartan run.  Oh, he has been branded with a prisoner number on his head.  I better take him back to prison.

Oh you are dirty and stinky.

I am excited to have such a cute new cousin.  

I was excited to ride in the Children's Bike Parade.  I loved decorating my bike with a flag, streamers, decorated cans.  The ride was fun, but the decorating was the best part.

I picked out the candles for Daddy's b-day cake.

I love super heros!!!  If I don't have the costume for it, then we can just draw it on me.  Here I am spider man.

Go Spidey!!

I can help Rubie blow out her candles.  She is lucky to have a helpful big brother like me.

My good friend Reid got to spend the night.  We played and had lots of fun.  At bedtime mommy and daddy made us a bed on the floor.  We watched a movie and fell asleep there.  That was fun.
