Pumpkin patch and other happenings

The last few weeks here in Nevada have been really nice, and I can't believe that we are still wearing shorts and it's the middle of October!  I could get used to this:)  Anyways we had the chance to go to a pumpkin patch not to far from our house on the weekend and the kids loved it.  They had animals, a child size hay bale maze, horse rides, sling shots with corn, a fake garden etc. etc., so needless to say the children had a ton of fun! And here are the pictures to prove it.

Jaxon by the animals, this is the closest he would get.

Bob trying to get him to get closer, it didn't really work

Choosing his pumpkin

Risa found her's.

and the two of them in the pumpkin patch

and last but not least Jaxon got to ride the horse, which he loved!  Risa did  not want to get on, thank goodness for
refundable tickets:)


We have also been getting ready for Halloween and we have the Pajamas to prove it!

They glow in the dark and everything!!!

Also we have had superhero parties under the table, dumped out all of our stuffed animals, had movie night and celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving, just to name a few.

Having snacks under the table in the hideout as superheros.

Every stuffed animal they owned was on this bed.



Ready for their movie night!

Canadian Thanksgiving we had visitors from Aunt Katie, Uncle Mike and Grandma and Papa.


But most importantly, we said goodbye to Uncle Mike for two years, because he is going to serve a mission for our church.  I know that Jaxon will miss him and he prays every night that Mike will be safe on his mission and that he (Jaxon) will be safe too when he goes on one.  So cute! 

 We've had a lot fun the last little bit and are enjoying our time here.  Can't believe we have been here two months already!  Time flies!


I had to throw this one in, because it looks like she is posing for the picture.
