Pumpkin patch and the farm!

We had a fun and busy weekend! On Friday, we took the kids to the pumpkin patch. Our good friends were hosting the night so we got free rides! The girls had a blast doing all the jumpy things and slides. Of course I had to take a picture!! This is the best one we got of all three of them. :)

I like this one of the girls. Too bad Aiden isn't looking:)
Off to the rides:)

Little dude just hung out!

Makenna....my dare devil!!

Daddy and Jordyn! That was their only time on the slide. Trav had a hard time climbing up it with Jordyn in tow.

Petting area....There was this goat that jumped up right after this and head butted the bunny right off the hay!! It was hilarious.

Then the very next morning, we took off to St. George. We wanted to watch my nieces play soccer and since we were there, I thought we could visit this family farm that was close. I had heard lots of good things about it! Unfortunately, they had a ton of rain and it was VERY muddy and the corn maze and horse rides were closed. I didn't really care about the maze but I wanted the girls to be able to ride the horses! O-well:( We did get to pet the animals though. This donkey was so funny because he was making very loud noises right when we got there. It totally scared Makenna and I had to go pet the donkey before she would even get close to it. She finally calmed down when she remembered that Shrek's sidekick was a donkey:) And did you know that donkeys are soft! I was very surprised:)

There were these HUGE turkeys!! I hope they aren't going to be this family's dinner soon:)

Rooster!!


This guy looked so mean! Trav was worried that he was going to spit on us:) He just kept staring us down. Finally, I picked up some corn that was on the ground and decided to see if he was hungry. He took it but the funny part was that he brushed the branches off with his nose and made completely sure he only ate the corn. He didn't want to eat the yucky stuff:) It was so hilarious!! Later, I saw a sign that said to not feed the animals....oops!!! Um....then feed them!! He was hungry:)


I got Makenna to feed him too.

They had cool slides and activities. My parents and I were playing tether ball and it made Aiden giggle so hard watching us! We must have been funny looking. It took me back to fifth grade:)

And unfortunately this is the last picture that I took because my camera died. I didn't realize that it was low:( I wanted to take pictures of my beautiful nieces! They did wonderfully in their soccer games though!! And we all crashed when we got home! Good weekend:)

St. George

We took a trip up to St. George to see my nieces play their soccer games! They both won and they are awesome!
Gianna and Arianna. Aren't they cuties? And the shorter one is actually the older one:)

Arianna about to score a goal! She had three goals that game.

Arianna


Of course my girls had to get in on it too. Jordyn kicking the ball around. She looks so little in this pic:)

Makenna trying her skills in Arianna's bright yellow shoes!


That sun was really bright! We all ended up getting a little red (especially Travis:)

Gianna is just to the right of the lady in the way of my picture taking.

Gianna....right in the middle with the X on the side of her shorts.

The girls having a sweet moment.

Someone is getting tired but doesn't really fall asleep:)

We decided to drive up to Pine Valley since we were so close. We love to go camping here but it's usually in the summer. It's quite cold there now. It was so warm in St. George that I didn't think it would be that bad but it was!! We got some chicken and had some lunch and then walked around the lake.
I've seen people taking these pics of you walking away for some reason so I thought I would take one since I was walking behind everyone else. It's a little too far away though:)


My brother Danny (with Jordyn) and Travis

Some pretty pics....



Kenna needed a potty break so we found a tree:)

On the way home, we saw a bunch of wild turkeys!

And then a deer crossed right in front of my dad trying to catch up with his family so we got to stop and take a few pics.


It's kind of hard to see but the mom and dad are in the middle of this pic. You can see their white butts and the deer is just to the right trying to catch up.

Tons of cows.

And a beautiful sunset that I took while we were driving on the way home!! So pretty! We had a great time!!
