Fall things

Soccer, of course. Reagan has scored 3 goals now!


A quick FHE trip to the mountains and lessons in skipping rocks.


Football. Naturally. These girls love watching BYU football games when they can.

Doctors appointments. A never-ending part of life.
 Luckily she's a pro.

General Conference with Lance' family! We had a delicious homemade buttermilk waffles on Saturday. 

 Then of course, a violent stomach bug tore through our family over the next few days. Ironically, because of this picture, Reagan did not get it, but she did spend a lot of time sleeping while I was sick. Or so I'm told. This picture cracks me up because she NEVER falls asleep in random places. Like ever. 

Cute fall dresses and curls for church. 
Coloring with Daddy's pen during church is a favorite. 

The circus! Reagan has been asking to go for a while, and we finally had a chance to take her.


She loved it although she was a little upset that the clowns didn't juggle, like apparently she saw on a show once. Oh well. Life is full of disappointments, kid.
My favorite part was the tight rope walkers. Amazing!



And the very best part of any September:
Bounteous harvest! Our garden totally kicked butt this year (except the green beans. I don't want to talk about it) and days like this happened weekly June-September. Love growing our food so much, but I'm pretty ready for it to be done- it's definitely been neglected the past few weeks. I'm ready to move on.

And our final segment: Silly things with Reagan and Daryn.
 Demon popsicle children.

Dancing nonsense.

She said she was a "polar bear".

Must...have...ALL...the...bath toys.

Faces.

 

 And the very best for last. I came out of cleaning the bathroom to find this:
 Yes. That is Daryn, facedown in a mesh laundry bag, being dragged down the hallway by her sister in a princess dress and winter fur coat. They were both laughing and giggling and Daryn was yelling "faster!".  One of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. There is literally never a dull moment with these children. My life rocks.

Meanwhile, back on the farm...

A few weeks ago we had the chance to go to Carver's Cove, a gorgeous petting zoo/farm up Ogden Canyon with Gen & Co. It was the most beautiful fall day and the kids had just the best time. The had cups of feed that all the animals ate, and you could feed them all. They were so friendly! It took the girls about 8 seconds to warm up to the idea.
 The goats were a definite favorite. 



The leaves on the mountains were beautiful!

This goat and sheep were more like pets, and the owners let them walk free. The girls followed them everywhere!


These pigs were hilarious. I had no idea there were pigs that looked like that! Reagan wouldn't go near them, but Daryn was brave.

And these piglets were adorable. 

I wasn't sure what was so fascinating in here, until I stuck my head in.

Mama cat and kittens!

And of course a horse ride for everyone. 

We had the best time! Definitely going back next year.

Fun things

Reagan started her second year of preschool on Monday! She was so excited to go back, and she had a wonderful week and even told me she made some new friends!

Monday night was one of our favorite events, the Fairy Festival! Even though it was raining, we had a fabulous time. 





And Tuesday my college roomies (and so much more!) came to visit! 6 kids between us (Reagan is the oldest, so all under 4) and in a month it will be 8! 

They did not think taking a picture was a worthy idea.


The older girls did ok :).

And we did good, too. So fun to reminisce on our college days and even better to talk about our lives now!
