We had a fun Fall Break last week and were glad to have Adam home with us all day long. It made me wish it was summer all over again! On Thursday, we spent the afternoon with our Riley cousins at the Red Barn's Pumpkin Patch. My kids went crazy! You'd have thought they had never seen a pumpkin before!

We took a windy hay ride out to the pumpkin patch. Yes, Tessa wears her crown everywhere we go....
They had an awesome slide for the kids to play on. It was so fun to hear them squeal as they came down it.
It was hard taking pictures while holding a baby.

I loved watching all of our kids run crazy through the pumpkin patch. I told Jodi, who would have thought all those years ago that we would get to raise our kids together. I am so glad that we are able to! We love the Riley's!
On Friday, before Daddy left for school, Adam wanted to take a picture with him. Tessa wasn't as thrilled with the idea. I'm sure we interrupted a very important cartoon. Eric had a long weekend of finals, but he did well!
Gwen has gotten so good at feeding herself. She still isn't quite sure about her sippy cup.
On Friday we built this fort to play in. It ended up being a very rainy weekend, so most of our playtime was inside. All 3 kids had fun playing in the fort. They read books, played with puzzles, drew pictures, ate meals, raced cars and tried scaring each other. On Friday we braved the pouring rain and ran a bunch of errands! Mommy spent the weekend making Halloween costumes, working on some recipes, and rotating everyone's clothes for the winter.
Gwen's new favorite place to play is inside the cupboards.
We cheered our Cougars on again....it was a good game until the end. While he loves football, Adam is counting down the days until basketball season starts at the end of the month.
Sunday we went back to church after many weeks off! We have had Stake Conference, General Conference, a temple dedication and sick kids. I don't think we have been to 3 hours of church as a family since the beginning of September. After dinner, we found Gwen playing with her toys, but she was sitting in a basket. It looked much funnier in person, but I had to capture the moment!
It was a nice weekend, but now it is back to school for everyone. Now we will countdown the days until Christmas break!
