leaves :)

i love weekends. i love hanging out with my family! today we went outside and worked in the yard cleaning it up before winter. kya was having so much fun helping rake up leaves and jumping in the pile of leaves that mark made for her. kinley loved just sitting in the grass taking it all in.

grand lake !!

we went to grand lake last weekend for a little get away with my parents, dana and sonya and kendal and the gang. we were lucky enough to get to stay at my aunt and uncles AMAZING cabin! we stayed in an awesome room over looking the lake it even had a revolving door to a secret little nook for kya to sleep in...she thought it was amazing! we had a wonderful time with family. we went on walks down to the lake, played games, saw elk, and just really enjoyed each other! here are some pictures from our great weekend!

pumpkin festival

what a fun day!! the weather was cold and dreary, so we bundled everyone up really well and headed to a pumpkin festival. papa and gaga met us there for the day. we had a GREAT time doing all sorts of activities and watching pumpkins get launched. one of the teams launched about 2 football fields in length. it was very entertaining. they also had a ton of other activities to do. we could have spent all day there :) we did the hayride, hay bail maze, played on tractors, made a pumpkin hat, picked pumpkins, did the obstacle course, the stick horse race.. and the petting zoo!! whew...it was busy but so much fun!! we took over 100 pics so i had a really hard time choosing...so here are some of my favorites :)
