Picking Pumpkins

We decided to go to Reggie's Veggies.  If you haven't been there, it's awesome.  They are on Ustick and Cole, I think.  They have tons of local produce and sell Cloverleaf Dairy products.  They also have MANY pumpkins...and pretty cheap I think.  We decided against the pumpkin patch and hay ride this year.  Cedrik doesn't quite get it yet, and it's expensive!  I'm sure next year we'll cave, but this year all Cedrik cared about was the wagon and the "ba's!" (aka balls aka pumpkins).

They look like geese.

Cedrik thought they were balls, so we had to make sure he didn't throw them.

The wagon was the best part.  He wanted to push and pull it all night.

We didn't realize that hay bales are so large.  Yes, we drove home with the trunk open.

Visitors

We have been boring for two years.  At least that's what we thought when none of Jordan's family haven't even attempted to visit us.  Our boring streak is over!  We had Shayla and the kids visit a couple weekends ago AND Chari, Brandon and Taycee visited last weekend.  In two weeks, our friends from Portland are also going to visit Boise!  I guess living in a house suddenly makes us entertainers.

Shayla working her magic...

Taycee decided that she liked Uncle Jordan this weekend.  She even sat on his lap while he read her a book (silly voices included).

Chari wanted to try the Trailor Park Cafe, that has been seen on The Food Network. Well, it was grungy (i.e. not clean) and the food was ok.  We found out at the end of the meal (After the waitress said, "I was going to offer dessert, but we just ran out" at 2pm) that they are closing, today!  The co-op bought it out.  Don't worry if you never tried it...you're not missing out!

The coolest part of the restaurant.

We also went to the nature center downtown.  If you haven't been there this time of year, it is gorgeous.  The kids liked looking at the fish, but they definitely had their schedules thrown off and it can be seen on their faces.  They hung in their though and I think had fun.  Brandon absolutely loved looking at the fish.

Sleep deprivation.

They ended up being fast friends.  Cedrik kept backing her into the living room wall and giving her hugs.  They even kissed a few times.  At least their too young to understand the "cousin" concept.

In this video, Taycee realizes they're being watched and pushes him away (before that she was letting him shower her with affection).  Then they walk away like nothing is going on.  So sly. 

Silly Cedrik

Conference Weekend

Surprisingly with all the candy corn laying around Cedrik only managed to eat one piece. I think.

The kids' bingo game

Look closely.  We all may have napped once.  Shayla was the only one caught on camera though.

Girl's night while the men went to Priesthood Session.  We went to Sonic and had Cherry Limeades.  It was my first time having one and it was really good. 

Playing games.

Shayla decided to do his hair while I was busy doing something.  I always thought Cedrik would never be stolen because he'd scream if someone he didn't know took him out of my sight...now I know he won't make a sound.

They are the perfect pair.  Bowen will let Cedrik push him around....is this how their relationship will always be?

This is the face Cedrik makes when you tell him to smile. 

John and Shiann's Wedding

At the end of September John and Shiann were married at the CW Moore building.  It was a fun night and it was great to get dressed up for something other than church and not have Cedrik with us for a few hours.  Our friends, the Petersons saved us by babysitting at the last minute (no babysitter could be found!).  Cedrik "wasn't bad, but didn't have fun."  He pouted the whole time in Bryant's arms and Adrienne informed us that he is an emotional eater (we knew, but it's always nice to have things confirmed).  At least he didn't scream the whole time and was asleep when we got there.
Jordan was in charge of taking pictures and there are no pictures of the bride and groom...

Spencer took this picture of Missy.  She couldn't hear him saying her name.
