Pumpkin patch

I absolutely love this time of year! I love the weather, the changing of the leaves, to be able to wear fall clothes, and especially to start all the holidays!! Today was such a perfectly warm day that we decided to go to my favorite pumpkin patch, the red barn and pick out pumpkins!



It was really busy today because it was Saturday, so aiden (and Jeff) got a little impatient waiting for the hayride.


We rode on a tractor through the orchard. It was so pretty. Aiden loved seeing the horses. He kept doing his horsey laugh. Haha! Silly kid!



We then were dropped off at the pumpkin patch and aiden, Jeff, and I began our search for the perfect pumpkins.


Aiden held mommys hand because she kept falling in all the holes. Why I thought heels in a pumpkin patch was a good idea is beyond me.



We looked long and hard to find the perfect pumpkins. Aiden even found his shadow!



After finding our pumpkins, we took turns going down the slide. First it was mommy and aidens turn.



And then daddy took aiden. The slide was super fast! :)






Aiden found a cool green tractor and decided he could drive!



"Bye mommy! I'm off to dig some dirt!"



We pretended to be a pumpkin.



And a ghost!


Played on the truck.


And in the hay.



We finished with homemade ice cream and apple cider. It was a perfect fall day. Love our family fun days!!

Idaho weekend

Hey everyone! First of all, I have to apologize for my long absence. My sweet baby accidentally knocked a glass of water on our computer and it has been dead ever since. I have decided to start blogging again from my phone so hopefully I can be a little bit better.
Last weekend we went up to Idaho to visit Jeff's family.




We had to stop at one of our favorite restaurants in Ashton big Judd's! If your ever in the area you'll have to stop by. Their pastrami burgers are amazing!!




We watched my brother in laws dog nala while they were on vacation for the week. Aiden loved her soft dog bed. He kept laying in it and kicking her out. Poor nala.




While jeff helped his parent fix the fence, Aiden and I went for a little ride around the field. He loved it! He is going to be my little riding buddy when he gets older.




He played at grandmas house while we watched conference. Wasn't it so amazing? I really felt like so many of the talks were just for me. I just love that God understands our needs and how to help us grow.




Becky, Connie, Ted, Jeff, and I went up to driggs on Monday for a ride. It was so beautiful. The leaves were so bright and colorful and the air had that crisp autumn smell. This time of year is my favorite time to ride.




Jeff usually only goes with us about once a year so i was so excited to have him come. Somehow he got the smallest saddle of the bunch and was a little "uncomfortable" the first half. After my mother in law switched with him he was able to enjoy himself.




One thing about riding with Jeff is you never have to worry about bears. He is so loud and crazy, he scares off anything miles from us. Haha. He is so goofy and always makes me laugh. He helps me not me not be so serious. He is truly my best friend. Love you babe! xoxo




It was such a good ride. I love riding because it is one of the only times i feel like i dont have think about anything, do anything, be anything. I get to enjoy some of the most beautiful country in the world. Be on my favorite pony and be with my favorite people. It is a little piece of heaven for me and I feel blessed to be able to do it with family.




Now it's a lazy Sunday and me and my favorite boy are watching movies. Haha! He loves his movies! Hope you all have a wonderful day!! P.s. hope you don't mind that I used some of your picture Becky!! Love you!
