Matt's Bird Hunting Trip

Matt took his annual bird hunting trip 
with Joel and Brian to Colfax, WA.

The guys camped and enjoyed a weekend in the country.

The trip was a success and they got their limit in birds each day.

Matt always has a lot of fun on this trip but he said it was harder than ever to be away from us.  With an almost two year old rascal and a six week baby at home, he was excited to walk in the door!  We missed him too!!

Thomasson Family Farm

Our second pumpkin patch outing this fall was to Thomasson Family Farm.  

The kids had a blast! So much to do here.

With a little help from cousin Theresa, James got to ride the horse!

Haley too!

Bubbles were enjoyed- always a kid favorite!

And of course, the corn box. James knew exactly what to do!

He loves "swimming" in all the corn!

Meanwhile, Mikayla stayed bundled up and snuggled into Mommy, cute as can be in her pumpkin costume.

A great family time!

This family sure is growing, look at all those kiddos!

The two newest additions!

Grandma B with all four of her grandkids.

Matt couldn't be with us on this outing as he was gone on a hunting trip, 

so I had the little ones all to myself!

Grandma helped James find the perfect pumpkin.

He wanted to push it around in the wheelbarrow, of course.

Pushing is alot of work, so he opted for a ride instead.

 Last stop- the tractor train!  The kids had a blast riding around behind the tractor.  Haley was hilarious, dissapearing into her car to find snacks!

Tons of fun!  Thanks to Shon and Shelly for putting on such a great day!

Cedarview Park

We got to meet with cousin Rebecca and Haley at Cedarview Park for an afternoon of playtime fun.

This has got to be the happiest little girl we know!

This park is great because there are actually two play areas- one for bigger kids and one for small toddlers like James and Haley.

They ran and played for hours!

The horses were a hit!

The kids loved the train.

Perfect for climbing and exploring!

James was totally tuckered out when we got home.  A great way to spend the afternoon!

Lake Jane in the Fall

We bundled up the kiddos and headed to the park one cool fall evening.

Lake Jane Park is one of James' favorites! 

This one's got a big new play toy and is never crowded (our little Bonney Lake treasure!) Last time we were here, the HOA was taking pictures of the new park for their webpage. James will be featured playing on the tire swing!

Our little guy is very into "hanging out" these days!

He's graduated to the big slide!

Monkey bars already?!

This one's a kid at heart.

I love these boys!

Matt's such an awesome Dad. James loves playing with him SO much.

Autumn leaves were just beginning to fall!

These two are so much fun! :)

Mikayla at One Month

Mikayla is already two months old, but I'm just getting to her one month photos. :) I have some catching up to do!

Here she is, my little sweetheart at one month, cuddling with her teddy bear.

We are learning so much about our baby girl's personality.  
She is a sweet and easygoing little angel.

What a belly!

One thing this little girl did not like at one month old- 
being in her carseat unless we were on the move! 

Time is going way too fast and she is growing so quickly!

Silly With Stickers

Papi brought James a new sticker book!

This kid is crazy about stickers.

What a silly boy!

Copying Sister

"Look James, doesn't Mikayla look so cute?! Mom's going to take her picture."

James looks at sister, then goes and lays on the floor and does this:

Kids are so funny!
