Pumpkin Patch

The pumpkin patch had these fantastic small wheel barrows. The kids loved them. They are great for carrying really BIG pumpkins, as shown by Brady!
Zachary loved his so much that he took it through the corn maze, and collected husks. He was a "hard workin man!"
They also had 5 or so large tractors the kids could play on. It was great!
One more from the wedding. Me & Wynnie at the Temple. It was nap time!
She discovered glasses this week too. She is so much cuter than Elton John in large glasses!

Fall in Utah

We were in Utah for 10 glorious days! Some of the highlights, besides the wedding, were: Butterfield Canyon, where the boys hunted goblins and ghouls. They got them all! It was beautiful!
The UP House. So amazing! It was a Parade of Homes home, and it was as like the original as they could make it. For a measly 400K it can be all yours, furniture and all!
We went to the pumpkin patch twice! The first night Zach and Gwynnie were asleep, so we HAD to go back!
Brady, Lainey, Zachary and Gwyneth.
All three dads took the kids on rides. Running through the patch, I thought we'd get thrown out!
Gwyneth found her first helmet. She loved it, wore it for about half an hour. She's so dang cute!

Wedding 2

BEAUTIFUL Alyson in her beautiful dress!
They made it!
My sweet grandmas, Cusick and Linford. So great that they were both there!
Three girls. Not the best shot, but they wanted a lot of pictures taken of their pretty dresses!

Red Rock

Jeff was out of town for work, it was a long weekend. BUT we went to Red Rock. I LOVE IT THERE!
Monkey Boy. I love this picture.
Personality. LOVE you kiddoes!

Soccer

We signed Zachary up for soccer, Saturday was his first game. 30 minutes of kids kicking, crying, and having a great time was so funny! Here's Zach coming in to "tell you something", in the middle of the game.
Zach's stats:
Weight 38 lbs
Height 40 inches
It wasn't technically his check up so I don't have %'s
but I'm sure his 90-100% stats are still in full force!
The kids didn't really understand that there was only one ball, hence all the crying. But I had a great idea, I told him he'd get the ball a lot if he were the goalie. Gooooooooaallll! He loved it!
The older group was short a player, ta-da, Brady took a spot and now loves soccer. I am so happy about it! Yes these two cute boys are older than Brady. I was looking at his birthday photos from last year. The pants he wore were folded up 4 inches, and this year they are floods. He's a tall dude! At his Well check this week his stats were:
Weight 50.8 lbs. 77%
Height 48.25 inches high 90%'s
He is tall enough for a the rides at Disney Land.
Here they are running for the ball. Brady was aggressive, and fast out there on the field. He had a great time. (Red shirt in the back).

What Can I Say?

She is definitely the cutest bug ever. (sorry other moms).

10 month old stats: Weight 18 lb, 15.5 oz.
Height 30.25 inches
She has grown 4 inches since her 5 month check up. Ha! We grow 'em tall around here!
Also she is starting to crawl, which she hates, and walk, which she loves. We have to hold her hands, but if we are busy she is really great at holding onto what ever is available to walk with. Today she pushed her highchair around the kitchen.
Gwyneth has a lot of facial expression, always has. My personal fav is her OOoooo, her eyes get huge and her eyebrows lift, its super cute. Sometimes she whistles without knowing it!
She just figured out that she can sit up in bed, and this morning I found her standing. When she stands still we all get so excited that now she claps and laughs for herself.
I have decided that she thinks Jeff, Brady and Zach are all pronounced DaDa.
She says Mama, Dada, I swear she said ta-da today, and she tries to mimic basic sounds we make to her. She knows how to get what she wants, and tells me 'all-done', by sign language when she is. Today she was all-done talking to the man at the community center, so she started waving good-bye to him. I got the hint and we left!
WE LOVE YOU BABY GIRL
