Sweet Heaven

Growing up we had a pomegranate tree in our orchard. I remember eating them in my designated pomegranate shirt, considering the little bad boys stained like crazy. My hands would be stained, especially that area right under your fingernails. Oh it was great! I loved cracking them open and seeing all those little jewels packed tightly inside. The last couple of years my mom has mailed me some from her yard, this year I got one from a friend and it pretty much made my Fall! Today I sat at the sink and enjoyed every moment of opening my little treasure. I love them in salads or just eating them plain. I just love the way they look!

Howell's Pumpkin Patch

It's been a tradition since moving here to Iowa that every October we go out to Howell's Pumpkin Patch. The past few years Ben has been busy with test and school, and hasn't been able to go with us. But since this year would be our last October here as a family (since next year he will be gone for clerkship's) I made sure that this year he went with us. He had to experience this place that I love. I love all the old tractors all over, the animals, and the great stuff for the kids to do!

Love all the fall colors!

Natali LOVED this horse swing

Fun Day!

Picture Tag

My friend, Briawna, picture tagged me. Here's how it works: you pick the 4th picture in your 4th folder, and then give a brief description.

This particular photo is of Natali on her 1st birthday back in Utah. We celebrated with some family and her actual birthday and then had a party later on during the weekend. I love the look on her face, and have seen it much since then. Not the best hair day for her, looks like she is kinda balding! This seems like so long ago, but not really all at the same time. I tag: Emily Dalton, Holly Rob., Julianne S. & Starlee (come on Star...we need a new post!)

We're Growing!

We are excited to announce that baby #3 is on it's way! I am 10 weeks along and fully enjoying the fatigue and nausea (especially with two other kids to take care of)! Hopefully just a few more weeks of that and I will be done with this first phase. We are overjoyed with our growing family and wanted to share our excitement and news!

A Walking Bubba

Here is some footage of Isaac walking while Natali tries to take him down! Oh I love these kiddos!

Themed Jammies

I bought these jammies last Jan. from Kohl's during there mega sale and I have been anxiously waiting to dress my kiddos in them. The day has finally come! Yeah for coordinating Halloween themed jammies. Thank heavens my kids are not old enough to rebel against matching!

Apple Orchard

Last week for playgroup a bunch of us girls loaded up the kids and headed out to an apple orchard. Let me just say it was a blast! Natali and Isaac both LOVED playing in the large pool of corn. Let's just say that I found a lot of corn at home later that evening while getting kids changed into jammies! They had lots of farm animals and the cutest little houses from the Three Little Pigs. A new addition was this jumping pillow that the kids could jump on. It was perfect for the bigger kids (which now includes Natali). It was a beautiful Iowa day...blue sky, white clouds, sunny, and a slight crispness in the air. We will be back next year for sure!
