Cole's Pumpkin Patch Trip



Cole's first grade class


His little friend Josh was uninterested in allowing me to take his picture 


Chickens!


Horses!


Cole and his friend Billy discussed the peeing and pooping habits of horses. Such boys!


Picking a pumpkin...so many to choose from!


He found the perfect one!


I love my boy!


Panoramic picture. Again, wish it were bigger.

Headed back to school!
 

Heeeyy. I'm basically too busy to blog anymore. Except for right now, I guess. So here's the lowdown on what's been happening in my life:

 Tyler and I celebrated our 9th anniversary by going to Mammoth for the weekend. We ate, slept and went on a wonderful hike to Crystal Lake. Mammoth in October is just perfect. Not many people around, perfect weather during the day and chilly at night. It was the best weekend ever. Seriously, it really was!

Breakfast before our hike:


At the trail head


The way up


The view on the way up- Lake Mary and Lake George



Going down towards Crystal Lake


Getting annoyed at Tyler's picture happiness


Embracing the fact that he won't stop taking pictures of me!


The first view of Crystal Lake



Enjoying the beauty of nature


So pretty!




After our hike we got cleaned up and went beer tasting at the Mammoth Brewery. I continue to hate beer but the root beer was ok.


Then we did some shopping where we stumbled upon this:


I would have suggested that we play but we all know Tyler would beat me :)

This is probably the best picture of our weekend:

In other news, I got the iPhone 5. It's pretty much the best phone ever. Going from android to iPhone is really not that much different but I love how easy the iPhone is to use. It's much more pleasing to the eye as well. I think my favorite thing so far is that I can take panoramic pictures. Pretty awesome. 


I wish I could make pictures bigger on my blog. Anyone know how?

The kids have started rehearsals for a Christmas musical they're in at my parent's church. Both kids overcame their fears of auditioning and both got parts! Kayley is a shepherd who has both speaking and solo singing parts. Cole is a wise man who has a speaking part. I'm so proud of them!

I joined Abundant Harvest Organics as a step in the right direction for my eating habits. You sign up online and they deliver a box of organic, locally grown organic fruits and veggies to the delivery site. Megan picks up my box and I pick it up from her porch, which is like three seconds away from my house. I don't have to shop for produce and I'm pretty much forcing myself to prepare healthier meals with veggies included. I love it!

So that's the lowdown. Look for Cole's pumpkin patch pictures soon!
