Pumpkin Picking!

Everyones favorite fall activity is Pumpkin Picking of course! We have a fun pumpkin patch with a hay maze that we go to every year. The kids love running around and picking their very own pumpkins. Walking along with dad, there are just way too many to pick from!
Sorry it's a bit blurry. Katelyns pumpkin was even bigger than mine!

The had to be able to carry their own pumpkins!

Even Morgan could handle hers!

You can barely see Henry on the left, Katelyn is a great sister to help Morgan through the maze!

Fall Time!

What a wonderful time of year! We have had the best weather to, although I just hope that it doesn't mean that winter is going to be wicked cold. Although I don't think that it will be near as bad as it gets in Canada where we grew up! Sorry you canadians, I love Utah weather!
We went to Wheeler Farm with some other wives whose husbands work with Jason and their kids. The kids love looking at the animals and running around the place. And hey, it's free so we love it even more! My kids sure love visiting Grandma and Grandpas house because there are lots of animals, especially cows. But they were so fascinated with the guy milking the cows by hand. Here they are all staring at the cow. I told them next time we go to Canada they can milk a cow by hand!

Of course they couldn't resist climbing on the old tractors, and they all wanted tons of pictures taken of them! We also got to go on the hay ride around the farm!

Our little model!

Our little farm boy, he has a huge black eye in all these pictures from falling into the couch. Poor kid, he has actually been such a good boy and helper lately, so he really didn't deserve to get hurt this time(surprise, I know)!

Her hair blends into the barn and she is looking pretty dazed and confused!

Girls Weekend in San Fransisco!

This past weekend we had a girls weekend in San Francisco with my sisters, sister in laws and my mom. It was our very first girls weekend and a much needed one. With three of us being pregnant I don't think that this will happen again anytime soon. So we soaked in the fun and enjoyed our time away from the hubbies and kiddies. Although we did talk to them lots and missed them, we still managed to have a ton of fun and spend lots of money. Below is a slide show of some of the pictures that were taken. We were able to see a ton of attractions and eat some great food. My favorite food was the clam chowder that came in the yummiest bread bowl of all. I absolutely love crusty bread and I think that we got some at pretty much every restaurant we ate at. It was great food, we would tell them it was Briannes bday at every place and she had no idea, it was great. But the last meal we changed it to Jordan and boy was she surprised. What kids we are, right?
We were able to go shopping in Union Square and China Town and found some great deals/items to take home. The kids loved the little souveniers, the trolley car for Henry who loves trains and then the little Wooden Russian dolls that stack inside of one another for the girls.
It was great to spend time with all the girls and get to know them better.
One last thing I promise, there ended up being 7 beds for 7 of us, no queens though, so we drew names and went to each bed to see who got to sleep where. There was only one bed that was pretty bad(a hard hard futon), and guess who ended up with that one? Yes, me, I couldn't believe it, the most pregnant one of all. My dear sweet sister Brianne felt bad for me and shared her bed, but then we both ended up getting no sleep. So the next night she made a bed on the floor out of the couch cusions(because someone was sleeping on the hide a bed) and said that she slept great. What a GREAT sister, I owe her big time.

Jason had a good weekend with the kids, he took them down to Price to hang out with my brother in law and his kids. They were able to run around, ride bikes, watch cousins play football, and just have a blast. Although he was pretty worn out by the time I got home. What a great husband to allow me to do this.

Conference Weekend!

I look forward to this weekend twice a year. It is so nice to be able to just sit around and relax and listen to the wonderful speakers and leaders of our church.
My sisters family came up from Price and the guys went fishing with the kids at a local pond. The kids had fun and most of them caught a fish. It was fun watching them for part of it.



They always have to feed the ducks as well. We can never bring enough bread though!
Heres what our house looks like during conference. Jason are you sleeping in this picture?

My little cuddle bug!
The kids were getting a bit restless during the end of the morning session, so they decided to do some arm/leg wrestling. It was funny to watch, they loved it though! We had a fun weekend with them. We made a nice big ham dinner and Jesse and Jordyn came over as well.

September!

When we found out we were having another girl we decided to switch kids around in bedrooms. Morgan has been climbing out of her crib and waking Katelyn up, so we decided to give Morgan a big girl bed and her very own bedroom. We moved our office in with our guest bedroom and put Morgan in the old office. She has been sleeping pretty good in her big girl bed, although one day while she was supposed to be napping, here is what I found. She was fast asleep in the middle of the bedroom floor so I had to take a picture. She sometimes will get out of bed and sit in her closet with her blankets, what a silly girl.
So when I finish decorating the kids bedrooms, I will post a couple pictures! Since I'm pregnant I haven't been running much(or at all) but a good friend of mine that ran all three half marathons with me last summer decided to run a FULL Marathon. What a crazy girl! So Kristina and I went up to Logan for the day to watch Melissa run the 'Top of Utah Marathon.' It was so neat to see her accomplish this goal, she did great!

The husbands had the kids all day and decided to get together for the BYU football game, so this is what we came home to. It was cute seeing the kids all play together so well. (they are watching a movie)

I took Henry and Morgan down to American Fork to see Great Grandpa Folsom and Grandma Colene. They are so cute with my kids and very patient. It is great having them so close, I just wish we could get down to see them even more often.

My Grandma Folsom passed away almost a year ago and so for her birthday on the 25th, we got together with family and decided to do what my Grandma did best and that is cook. So we made some of her delicious spud nuts. They are sooooo good! It was a great way to remember her and to keep her wonderful talents with us. She was such a sweet lady and will always be missed.
So here is Morgan and Case with their cup full of raspberries that they picked off of my Aunts bushes. They loved them, and we loved the mess that they made!
My parents also came down for the weekend on a last minute decision so we got to see them for just a bit and I didn't even get any pictures of them, but the kids absolutely loved seeing them and spending time with them. They came to church with us and we went and fed the ducks! We always love having them visit.

Labor Day/Grandpa Hulls Birthday!

We went up to the Hull cabin in Montana for a surprise birthday weekend for Jasons dad! We were able to get all the kids to come and surprise him. It was his 60th birthday so we wanted to make it a special one. We had 29 people in their 3 bedroom cabin. It was definetly a house full, but a lot of fun.
Robert had a heart attack this past May and we almost lost him, so we are all so greatful that he is still with us and that our kids will be able to have many more memories to share with their wonderful Grandpa! He is a great guy and loves to be with the kids!

On the way up we decided to take a little detour and go swim at some hot springs with the kids. They had a lot of fun and it was very warm and smelled like sulfur big time.

All the adults were able to go out to dinner without the chaos of the kids, thanks to great older nieces for babysitting! It was a nice evening out in Eureka! The kids love the freedom of running around the place, although they didn't go outside much after we spotted a bear near the cabin. It wasn't too big though, but it was neat to see! Their is so much wildlife around, the kids saw tons of deer as well.
Riding the 4 wheeler with Uncle Stevie and cousins.

Lounging around with Grandpa!

Poor little Morgan was sick the whole time we were there. She kept on throwing up and just wanted me to hold her. I felt so bad for her, here is Bryson giving her a bath to make her feel better!

It's a GIRL!

I've been meaning to post about the baby, but things have been crazy and I completely forgot.

Anyway, so yeah we found out what we are having and it is another GIRL! We are very excited, although Henry still thinks its a boy, so he may be a bit surprised when she comes out. Things have been pretty good, I've been feeling pretty good, just hungry all the time and huge. I already feel like I'm 9 months prego with back pains, charlie horses in the middle of the night, and my ribs are getting pushed in. Don't we just love being pregnant?

I've been busy doing projects and making things in preparation for the baby to come, so I am definetly not ready for her to come early.
