Fall Fun

Fall has always been one of my favorite times of year but recently I have enjoyed it more than usual. Colorado is just beautiful with all the leaves changing and the gorgeous Aspens with their yellow leaves glowing and blowing. All the leaves fell off our tree in the front yard and Keaton was so sad that all the leaves were gone. To tell you the truth so was I!! We had a few cold days but now the weather is absolutely beautiful in the 70's which has us all confused on what to wear anymore. We have been busy and enjoying ourselves this fall. Here is a little hightlights of what we've been up to.

We enjoyed a day at the Happy Applefarm as I mentioned before in a post and the boys had a great time. The boys picked 3 pumpkins, and we had to stop it there as we were running out of hands as we needed to have a hand to help Ryan every few minutes as he stumbled thru the pumpkin patch. The boys really love doing outing like this. Keaton has his first taste of Hot Apple Cider, which was pretty funny. Lets just say he is not a fan yet. Ben and myself BIG fans of Happy Apple Farm Hot Cider so we will continue to try next year to convert him. As long as we live here I hope to keep going back. The drive to and fro are amazing and it's such a fun place to enjoy fall!

Last week we had our first dusting of snow which was so exciting for the boys. Yes, it was a dusting but to them it was several inches!! Ha, Ha!!! Keaton wanted to go out right away so I held him off until at least 10am and bundled them both up and sent them on there way. They moved what little snow there was around and explored as I watched from the window. No way was I going out there, the wind was blowing and it was to darn cold for this mommy!! The boys lasted a whole 10 min. if that and were in and ready for the hot chocolate I had made for them. We sipped hot chocolate and snuggled for awhile till we decided to paint which they just love to do. I'm such a lucky mommy to stay home with my boys and watch them grow and have fun.

We enjoyed a Fall baking day with the cousins in which we made cookies and decorated them and Skyler help bake a cake for grandma's birthday that was that day. The kids had a ball decorating the cat, pumpkin, and ghost cut out cookies. What a fun time.

We missed Boo at the Zoo this year due to Ryan having a tummy bug. We planned to go Sun. night but Ryan came down with a yucky tummy trouble on Sat. night and unfortunately we are still fighting it today. One more day and he's seeing the doctor.

Last night we celebrated my nieces 10th birthday. Skyler turned 10 which just amazes me. Happy Birthday Skyler, we love you lots!!

Yesterday was a full year since Keaton has his health scare so I am thanking god that he has not had any problems since and has been very healthy!! Thanks be to god.

Keaton was delighted as yesterday his class made applesauce but what made me laugh was when I asked if he ate any he said, "I chose not to have any mom! , IT was fun to make but I'm not eating that!" That's my Keaton!!!

Tonight will be fun as we are planning on carving our pumpkin which is always so much fun. . I hope to have some pics to share soon.

Little baby news... I am almost half way thru this pregnancy which is just amazing. I should be able to find out soon what we are having which will be exciting. I am feeling great aside from getting exhausted by the end of the night , which to be honest I did on a normal night!


Well, that's all for now and will hopefully update soon on the fun we had on Halloween. Hope you all have a wonderful spooky night and send some pics of the kids in there costumes as we love to see all our friends!!!
