What weve been up to

I can't believe how fast time is going by and that soon our lovely fall weather will be gone and be replaced with cold winter. However, this fall has been nice and we have managed to have some fun along the way. The kids are loving school and Sophie is loving her time with just Mom. I am getting very pregnant, or so I feel and the countdown is beginning. 10 more weeks to go!! I feel he is ready to come out now so hopefully my body and him don't get too eager and we can enjoy a relaxing easy holiday season without any hiccups. In the mean time here are some pictures of the fun fall things we have done so far.

 Over Labor Day weekend, Zachary got to do the fish catch in town, we also went to the parade and got tons of candy

 Shay's parents came to visit for one of the weekends in September. The weather was great and the kids had fun working on Shay's old truck with Grandpa, chucking corn with Donna(found at farmers market,) and we took them to the demolition derby in town)

 At the Demolition Derby, where Zachary caught his cool t-shirt that we posted about earlier

 At the end of September Shay and I were able to get away for the weekend, thanks to my Mom for watching the kids. It was great to have a break from the kiddos and just enjoy relaxing particularly since it was our 10 year anniversary.

 The kids had a great time with Grandma Wyla, she was so good and did crafts with them and made sure they got plenty wore out playing outside lots!! She also kept my house super clean and was a big help with the kids homework. She and I had fun getting some much needed clothes for the new baby too, it was great having her here.

 After she left our house she spent a few days with her parents. We drove down before she left and got to enjoy a fun day hanging out with her and the Great Grandparents and even cousin Jackson came!! Sophie decided she is smitten with her big cousin, it was very cute to watch. Later we had a fun extended family dinner with all of my Mom's family and kids at my Uncle Rogers house. It was very fun and sad to say goodbye.

 This past week, Sophie got to go on a field trip, with her little class at the rec center, to the animal shelter in town. She loved the kittens except for after I took this picture the kitty pooped on her arm and shirt and my allergies started to act up after being near all the dirty dogs in the cages. I remembered why we don't have a pet yet.

 She also had her first Halloween party at her class, she is so excited to be Rapunzel for Halloween

 We carved pumpkins this week, why my boys always have their shirts off in pictures I do not know, anyway the boys had a good time but we forgot to set the pumpkins outside and now they are rotten, guess we will have to get some more this week. Oh well
