Madison the little farmer girl


Stockton at the Pumpkin Patch


Pumpkin Patch


On Saturday October 25th we went to a pumpkin patch to get pumpkins and go on a tractor ride. It was a really cute pumpkin patch on 118th South and 3600 West in South Jordan. They had all kinds of tractors for little kids to climb on and pretend to drive and get their pictures taken on, a corn maze, a tractor ride a pumpin patch and a lot of fun for everyone. Madison had so much fun! In this picture she is picking out a pumpkin for baby Stockton. After the pumpkin patch we went to Riley's (a little soup and sandwich shop) and had dinner. Then we went back to my house for a really fun and adventure filled evening--it's always an adverture when my girls are involved, they are so much fun. Earlier in the day we had taken the kids to Kiddie Kandids to have their pictures taken in their Halloween costumes, when we got back to my house Natalie thought we had lost the bottoms to Stockton's costume, so Melissa and I went back to KK and back tracked looking for them. I even went dumpster diving to see if the grounds people at Jordan Landing had picked them up and thrown them away. I was heart sick when I didn't find them. When I got home, Natalie lifted up a pillow on the couch and low and behold there was the missing bottoms! I was sure relieved, but I wanted to strangle her at the same time. All in all we had a really fun day.

Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Cake

New movies to add to the collection


Madison and her new Barbie


Madison turns 4!!!


On Friday October 17th Madison turned 4, she had a really fun birthday. We took her shopping at Toys R Us and let her go crazy picking out things she wanted for her birthday, when we were checking out they gave her a birthday crown and a balloon and they sang to her over the PA system. On Friday night her birthday party was at Chuck E Cheese's, she had so much fun dancing with Chuck E and playing with her cousins on all of the little rides. It's hard to believe that she is already 4 years old, the time has flown by so fast, it seems like she was just a little baby not that long ago. She has been so much fun, we love her so much and we feel so lucky to be her grandparents. She got some really nice things for her birthday and she had a really fun couple of days celebrating it!

Madison rides a pony at Gardner Village


Stockton at the Witches Festival


Whitches Festival


On Thursday October 16th we took the kids and went to the Witches Festival at Gardner Village. We had a lot of fun looking for all of the different withches and just being part of the large crowds. We went on a hay ride and then Madison went to the petting zoo and rode a pony--she had a lot of fun. Since it was UEA it was really crowded, there were so many people there, parking was crazy. Stockton was a really good baby, he slept the whole time while we walked around. We also took Grandma Great with us and then we went to Marie Callendars for dinner, all in all we had a really fun day!

Madison the "Digger Girl"

I wanted to try and add a video clip to a blog so I know this is out of order and does not fit but I wanted to try it anyway. I love this clip because Madison was digging in the garden and kept getting her hands dirty and being the little "girly girl" that she is she, she had to keep washing her hands every few seconds, it was really very cute and funny too. She is such a cutie pie and the love of my life. (I know that Natalie will have a fit when she see's it because Madison's hair was not done and it looks like she had pig tails the day before). I hope this works, I am loving playing with this new computer we just got, next I need to figure out how to upload a video from the webcam so if anyone knows how I can do that be sure and tell me.

4th and 4th


I wasn't offical tagged but Natalie tagged "anyone else who wanted to do it" so here goes... My 4th file was Disneyland 2005 and here is my 4th picture, me and Paul in the Tea Cups. I had just had knee surgery a month before we went to "The Magic Kingdom" so I was on crutches and in a wheel chair it was really hard to get in and out of the rides, I was not supposed to put any weight on my left leg for 10 weeks so we were a little crazy to even go so soon but we were meeting some of Paul's friends down there. We actually had a fun time and really enjoyed it. We've been back since then and it's a lot more fun when you can walk and can get in and out of the rides like a real person but I must admit that using the handicap line when the lines are really long is soooo nice!!! Well, that's my 4th and 4th!

Miniture Golfing


We took Madiosn miniture golfing the other night, what fun that was!! She had the best time (at least for the first few holes), then she was ready to go to dinner. She really had a lot of fun and liked hitting her golf ball. She had to have a purple ball and she loved to swing hard, it was more fun watching her play than it was playing. After we finished golfing, we went to dinner and then she had a sleep over--her second one in a row, we had a fun weekend with her while Mommy got things ready for baby brothers blessing.

Madison Mow's the Lawn


Madison loves to help Grandpa mow the lawn! She loves to "drive" the tractor and turn corners, she thinks that's the greatest thing ever. Here she is helping with the yard work, maybe when Papa is too old to do it she can take over and do it for him!!

Stockton's Blessing


On Sunday Septmeber 28th Stockton was Blessed. It was a really nice day and turned out to be a nice occasion. There were about 60 people who came to church for the blessing and about 50 who came to Chris and Natalie's after for a luncheon. Stockton was such a good little boy on his special day. Chris and Natalie had spent a lot of time getting the house and yard ready for the luncheon and everything was so nice, I think everyone enjoyed themselves. They are such a cute little family.
