The Corn Maze

On Saturday we went to the corn maze. We played in the fields and at the little park that was there. They also had a petting zoo and Cole was really interested in what everything was. It was really cute he kept mooing at the pigs! We got to ride a little hay ride and walk around in the maze. We only did the mini one which was perfect for all the little kids that were there. I love this time of year, it is so fun and I love to do pumpkin patches and corn mazes!

Halloween

Well here are some of the Halloween pics that we took. Brandon was the grim reaper, Emma and ice princess bride, and Cole was a vampire. We went trick or treating with the Cranneys and had a blast! Emmas costume was really last minute but she loved it and she looks really cute in it!

day at the park

On Sunday we went to the park with our cousins. It was fun, we played and fed the ducks. Here are some of the cute pics that we took! It was an interesting fiasco! But we loved all of it. None of the kids would sit still...and when we wanted to get a pick of all of them the babies would not sit there at all. When you have three babies to get in one pic it is a hard one to take. The only one we got is the one of them all on the bridge! And I am so happy we at least got that. All in all we had a blast!

Beauty Shop

Today we went to the beauty shop. It was really a great time for all. We went with the neighbor girls and we all get cute except for Cole. Here are some of the cute pics that i took while we were there, and the after pics of all that were there!

Welcome Jami!!!!

Last night Daniel proposed to Jami.... and she said YES!!! We are so excited for them! We had to have a Hannah Montana party to welcome her to the family! He was unable to attend because of his obligations to the guard, but that is ok we can just have Jami. We had the neighbor girls up for a sleep over and put on Hannah Montana. Here are some of the pics that we took. It was a blast we danced and did hair...poor Kim. We played the night away. I hope that Jami still wants to stick around. Even Kevin and Owen came over to join in the fun and we were so excited to see them too, well Owen anyway! j/k Kevin we love you too! The girls are such good hairstylists. Jami just graduated hair school so she was kind enough to bring some of her things for us to play with. We really had a good time and are very pleased that Jami will be joining us for all the fun forever!

Our First Family Camping Trip

We went camping this weekend at Duck Creek, with our good friends the Cranney's. Here are some pics of the different things that we did.










Here is when we first got there and we were setting up camp.










And here of course is running to the potty, this we did a lot!











When we got back from the potty the men had set up our tents and we were so very excited!













Cole just liked being out in the open wilderness.


















All the kids helped gather fire wood while lunch was being made, they were so good at it!












After lunch we went to the ice caves and hiked around. Here is Jake helping Emma into the cave, it was a really steep drop.


















After the ice caves we went and hiked around the Mammoth caves. It was great this drop was not as steep and everyone was able to get in. It was great, we got all the kids in and just wandered around until we got to a part that you have to crawl through. Since we had two babies and 4 other kids we decided to go back and not crawl to the end. But of course my little Emma crawled right through the mud, so the dads went after her. She just kept going even when she had to take her shoes off and keep going to the end. They got really far and then turned back to come be with the rest of us. Here is a pic of Emmas feet when she finally made it out.

The boys followed Emma and Suzy and I did what we could to get all the other kids out of the cave. It was hard and I really did not think that we would make it, but we did great!











Here is a pic that we took while still inside the cave.

















Here are some of the pics that we took outside of the cave while we were waiting for the boys and Emma to finish.











Brandon just looked so cute sitting on the rocks.













Cole still loving the wilderness, he is so inquisitive.




















Here is Emma after we cleaned her up. She was just getting her socks back on and just lounging around.
















Soon we started to make dinner, which turned out so great. Here are all the kids helping make the peaches cake. They loved helping but really were not to sure about the cake.







So we roasted marshmallows and had smores. It was so fun. We sat around the campfire and told stories and went to bed. Later that night we had two babies that did not want to sleep, a little one that got sick and started throwing up, and a little one that had to go poop in the middle of the night. So the next morning we decided to forget breakfast and just go home because we were so exhausted. It was a really fun trip and I am really glad to be home!
