Charlie says....

Last night as I was angrily brushing Charlie's teeth, anxious to get him to bed, he shouted, "You're crushing me, dragon girl!"

Just a few fabulous fall days...and nights!

We went to a very cool Pirate Pizza place in St George. Adam LOVED the food!
We spent a couple of quick days in St George with Grandma Vicki and Papa Ken.


It felt like summer all over again! Mmmmm
Grandma and Papa made all of Charlie's dreams come true when they bought him his first pair of Sketchers!

Last week we went to Gardener Village with some friends. We saw the witches, rode the ponies, went to the petting farm, and played in the hay maze. It was really fun!
Charlie, Luke, and Sam had a really good time looking at all of the witches.



The chickens in the hay maze were quite entertaining.


Adam squealed with delight over the farm animals.











While Adam enjoyed the farm animals, he did NOT like the pony rides!
We went to Logan for our annual Halloween event with the Providence Rays. It included a Spooky Wagon ride (super fun), a corn maze, a hay bale pyramid (you could jump off into nasty old matresses; the kids loved it), and finally a hot dog roast in Darin and SueAnn's back yard. We love this annual tradition!














October wouldn't be complete without a trip to the pumpkin patch. Some friends invited us to join them a couple of weeks ago. It was a beautiful fall night!



Charlie and his new buddy Everett.


Two cool guys.















Evenings at our house are always a bit crazy. Charlie and Adam love to read books. Adam wants to be just like his big brother.

A few weeks ago, we met some friends at Castle Park in Kaysville. The kids had a blast. This is a great park!




This is our little friend Luke. My friend Amanda is his Mom. He's right between Charlie and Adam in age. He's much better behaved than the Cole boys!

Aimee and Drew are our friend Noelle's kids. Charlie LOVES to play with them.
It was all Adam could do to not go to sleep in the swing!

Charlie loves to watch "tunies" on his little DVDV on his top bunk.
Adam has been enjoying carrying anything around in a bowl. He feels like a really big boy if he can sit in the living room and have a little popcorn snack.

Every other Thursday we've been doing field trips with our friends Sammy and Max. Courtney and I try to think of something fun to do. On this day we took them to the children's museum at the Gateway.








Charlie and I love to cook together. We've been making things from Paula Deen's "Just Desserts" Cook book. On this day we made her 1-2-3-4 cake. Delicious, as always!

This picture was taken at my sister-in-law Ashley's baby shower. We had it at Lori's house. Left to Right: My Mom, Sheri, Carolyn and Libbie, Ashley (and little Presley), Me, and Lori.
Cute little buddies!
