Lost In David's Head

Saturday afternoon we went to the Corn Maze at Thanksgiving Point, and this year the maze was in the shape of David Archuleta. While navigating through the maze, they had his songs playing as well as interviews with him. As much as I like David Archuleta, I was ready to break free from his grip. We were soooo lost and never did find our way out successfully. I think we ended up somewhere by his ear when we decided we were never getting out. We took a few "homemade" shortcuts and eventually made our way back to the entrance. Despite several missed turns and headaches, we had a fun time as a family.

At Thanksgiving Point not only did they have an incredible corn maze, but a pumpkin patch where the kids each picked a pumpkin, a huge in-ground bouncing pillow, pedal karts, a place for the kids to mine for "gold," and Abby's favorite, the Pumpkin Princess!

Growing Up!

Saturday marked Blake's 4th birthday! My little boy is growing up and he truly makes my heart happy. We had a small celebration for him and ended the day with a trip to the movies to see "Kung Fu Panda." The whole movie Blake was making karate chops moves and yelling "Hi Yah!!"

Thanks Nana and Pops for the basketball hoop. It was a perfect present for him.

Happiness Is...

a sweet, special, innocent, cutie patutie, baby boy!

(does anyone other than me see any resemblance to Shiloh Jolie-Pitt?!)

First Day of School

Abby has been so excited about being able to go to school everyday. This year she started kindergarten and LOVES it! The girls are enrolled at a charter school by our house and have to wear uniforms everyday. But they love the school and love the friends they are making.


Blake is going to preschool again this year and actually gets picked up by a bus. I wish I would have captured his excitement as he skipped to the bus and got on with the biggest grin you have ever seen. Priceless.

My kids are growing up! :(
