Hopscotch!

We were outside coloring with sidewalk chalk when I decided to draw a hopscotch and teach the girls. They were so CUTE trying to do it the right way that I had to run inside to get the camera. They are still so little and uncoordinated but Gracie was sure trying!

Fall Fun!!!

We went to a place called Lyon Family Farms and they had so many fun things for the kids to do! There were all kinds of blow up toys, slides, jumpers, corn mazes, farm animals, and a pick-your-own pumpkin patch. We had so much fun and we'll probably go again next year!

This was like a sand pit for the kids to play in except it was filled with dried corn kernels!Looking at the baby chicks and ducklings!

Riding out to the pumpkin patch to pick our pumpkins!

Taking a ride on "The Cow Train".

At home carving and painting the pumpkins!

We had a ward Fall Festival/Trunk or Treat so I thought I'd go ahead and take the kids pictures in their costumes and then we wouldn't have to worry about it on Halloween. They are all so adorable in their costumes!!! I love Halloween!

Gracie - Our Beautiful Little Princess

She took off leading the way at Trunk or Treat (all grown up) and said "Trick or Treat" and "Thank You" every time like we practiced. She's getting so old and independent. She even threw a bean bag through the pumpkin target all by herself during the games and she was standing behind the line the right way!

Lindsey - The Cutest Pirate Ever

I kept whistling trying to get her to look at the camera and she thought I wanted her to whistle too so this is her attempt at whistling. She's too stinkin CUTE!

Cooper - Our Adorable Little CowWe tried his costume on earlier and he screamed and screamed so we decided not to do the velcro up this time and see if that helped since it seemed too small. That's why you can see his chubby thigh and onesie bum but he did great!

These are just some pictures of the view from the back of our house. The fall colors are so gorgeous but you can't see them as well in these pictures. In the first picture you can see the little pond/swamp that the cows sometimes wade in.

Alabama!

After we left my Grandparents' house we stayed in Stockton for a week while Tim finished up and then we trekked across the country again for ALABAMA! The kids did so good again and it was fun to see a few more states! It was a really pretty drive with all the fall colors everywhere!

We arrived at our rental home on the 11th and we absolutely LOVE it!!! It is so gorgeous and we have space for everyone and a big kitchen and pantry and Cooper finally has his own room!!! The kids can run and play without people banging on the wall to quiet them and there aren't people smoking and blasting their music and we don't have to climb three flights of stairs with our kids and groceries! We have a two car garage and a yard and we feel so blessed!

Alabama is gorgeous with all the fall trees and it's been fun to see some cotton fields and coon dog cemeteries! We've had stomach bug and haven't gotten to go to church yet and we're still waiting for our stuff to get here but so far we like it except for being so far from our family.

When the man who arranged the rental with us came over to fill out paperwork Gracie was confused so I tried to explain what renting meant and she said very angrily to the man, "This is my house!" Luckily he had a good sense of humor and he laughed and said, "It's not my house either, I'm just the middle man." Cute little Roo!!! She loves her "Alabama house".

EAGLEVILLE!

We got to visit my Grandma and Grandpa Reeves! It was so good to see them and uncles, aunts, and cousins! Tim drove up from Stockton to be with us and pick us up and we all went fishing! It was the first time for all three kids. Eagleville is so pretty! It was so hard to say goodbye to everyone, especially since we're moving so far away again.
Gracie fishing with Uncle Brandon. Everyone helped me so much with the kids!!! Thanks!

I love this picture of Tim and Lindsey fishing. It is so precious!Lindsey's little fish! We all told Lindsey to look and asked her what it was and she said, very blandly, "Fish" like it was no big deal. It's the little silver "J" shape in the shadow.Gracie fishing with Grandpa!!!Gracie's fish was pretty good sized! We put most of them back and only kept the ones that swallowed the hook.

Cute little cousin Oakley and her Daddy!!!

My Grandma and Grandpa with Oakley!!!

This is the hamper my Grandma found for the babies to use as a tub while we were there. We ended up staying at my Grandparents' house so we just used their tub but little Oakley used the hamper. So cute!

Cooper looking at his Great Grandma! This is one of the many pictures on this post that I stole from Heidi. Thanks Heidi!

Grandpa was on his computer and he said he got the feeling someone was watching him and when he turned to look he saw Lindsey's big brown eyes staring up at him. It was so cute! We had Gracie squeeze in there too so that we could get a picture of the girls with their Great Grandpa!The girls with their Great Grandma! My Grandma is quite the artist and she drew a picture of Lindsey. She showed it to her and asked who it was and Lindsey said baby or something like that but when she showed it to Gracie and asked, Gracie said, "Lindsey!" and Grandma told her, "Thank you!" Gracie is such a smartie!Cute little Grace eating with Grandpa.

Four generations!

I love both of these ones of Cooper smiling first at Grandpa and then at Grandma! He was such a good boy while we were there.

Heidi's four generation picture!These last three are from Heidi's camera and we had already gone when she took these but I just wanted to show some more of Eagleville.

We love and miss everyone!!!
