A quick trip to the pumpkin patch!

Casey was going to a BYU football game one Friday night so I and the kids hitched a ride down to Utah with him so we could go to a pumpkin patch!

The kids were awful in the car, not going to lie. That's life.

It was a late game so we left right after Casey got home from work, 5, and then booked it to Provo to drop him off at the game where he met his dad. They have season tickets to the games this year. Poor Bryson must have gotten car sick and threw up around Heber, poor boy.

I got to Weston and Amanda's house around 8:45 where Max and Bryson were alseep. I dragged my 7 1/2 month pregnant body up and down the stairs so many times taking up sleeping kids and sleeping items with Quinn crying behind me because I wasn't holding him and it was a new place and he wasn't so sure about the surroundings, ha. His crying eventually woke up and Bryson unfortunately and I then had two cranky mischievous babies with me for the next hour until they were ready to go to bed again. Poor Weston and Amanda, I bet their stress levels were high because my kids compared to theirs are just two different levels of chaos, lol. I ended up having to sleep on the ground with them until they fell asleep at 10:15 pm.

Casey got him from a LATE double overtime BYU game at 1:30, they won, yay! In the morning we played with Abby, Britton, and Ella. Max LOVED playing with Britton, just adored him. My twins tormented their dog. we walked to the park behind their house with all the kids and played for awhile, jumped on the tramp, Weston made pancakes, and we just had a nice time with those sweet nieces and nephew and our kids!

We quickly packed up and headed to a small pumpkin patch right there in Springville! It was perfectly small for our group of little kids. Weston and Amanda met us there with their kids too! They loved the slide the most going up and and over and over again. I personally loved the huge corn pit the most. They climbed up large bales of hay, saw a little petting zoo, Max got lost in the huge corn maze for a few minutes because he ran off, oh goodness. We went on a tractor ride through their pumpkin field and a little of the cornfield too. Max picked out a white pumpkin and we called it a morning! Nice and sweet! Plus since our kids woke up so early we really needed to get them back in the car to drive back to Wyoming so they's actually sleep the whole time! But really we had the best time!





 So funny these two went down together and bryson face planted and got a face full of corn lol




It was a fun little morning and quick trip to Utah but it was fun to see family and do all the fun pumpkin patch stuff!

The changing of the season

Fall in Nebraska seriously got an A++++++. It was so bomb. It was warm, the leaves slowly changed colors and lasted a  really long time this year, it was super amazing. I was so grateful for a a very warm fall.

A pool of leaves was super fun.
Chloe and Max
Chloe and the babies stayed in much longer than Max, these 3 were cute together.
Quinn! (With nasty snot coming everywhere)

Q, B
This gorgeous red tree killed it this year, it was much more vibrant in person..
Boys playing on the broken down jeep.
I thought Quinn on the hood was really funny.
You see these leaves!? Killed it!
Walks in November was AWESOME!
On one super cold day in November we bundled up real well and went walking to the school, it was sad to see all the trees had finally dropped their leaves.
See this strange weather? It was November 5th in this picture, we are outside comfortably with no shoes or jackets, it was GREAT. (insert tears for Arizona here)

The adventures of twinsies

I put most all pictures of Max in the last post because he does nearly everything that makes him truly happy with Chloe, so the rest of my pictures are mostly the babies, and a few other randomos, so as we continue, baby adventures.

The babies are so so so cute. I just really love the stage they're at right now. They're really beginning to communicate much better, and they're really just so cute I want to EAT them! Quinn is at the beginning stages of walking, he can stand up in the middle of the room by himself and will take anywhere from 1-7 steps depending on the object of his desire, he can turn directions and he walks to objects by himself and most just people, he's on his way and walking!!!!! Bryson began taking a step to walk as well this week! So proud of him, he gets so excited to walk he mostly just falls forward to you immediately though, but his balancing has finally arrived too, go Bryson!

not happy to share toys, even at 1 years old.
Played keep away with my babies while I watched my friend's baby // Quinny and dad
Cutest little matching boys. We get all our matching boy outfits from Jim and Jan, they are so generous, we're grateful for new clothes here and there and especially matching ones! QB
At nearly 12 1/2 months the babies have caught on to the baby sign language for more, all done, and almost please! It's so cute! Bryson is beginning to just clap his hands for all done now days, that stinker.
We love park days with our walking group!
Katie, the best baby helper in the world // Mummy dogs for dinner Halloween week.
Back at the pumpkin patch...

I think these two are laughing because Casey tooted and Max asked if he pooped in his diaper lol.
Quinn // favorite toy
We love the children's museum! Haven't gotten to go in awhile but the babies are at an age where they could legitimately be excited and play with stuff! Just have to figure out ways to not go alone...
Back when Granny was here! Did I mention she visited in October? Well she did, goodness gracious that woman is the most amazing helper and mother I could ever ask for. Takes such great care of me and my kids.
Bryson's 1st birthday carousel ride.
Sunday with Granny // getting ready for Halloween!
I love me a good sunset!
Relief Society Activity of Family Home Evening night where we talked about FHE ideas, played pudding dictionary and Mormon Family Feud.

BQ- love riding cars!
Casey makes me laugh so much. He wore his wolf costume to school to be in the running for a gift card, ha. Oh how I love that man. I got the boys dressed up and we met Casey at school and went trick or treating at the dental school. Max was SUPER excited and super cute at it.
Drowning in children.
Halloween morning started at like 5:45, ooy, those children, so we went to the grocery store at 7 am since we needed milk for us all, ya know, a normal parent thing
Dripping in babies // LADY BUG season was in full blast, thin lady bug epidemic, there were at least 10 on my ceiling at any given time during October, there were so many and they were so hard to keep out! They have since died down but I just want to remember how insanely awful they were.
We walked with dad to school one morning, Casey and Max rode bikes, Max is so fast! I can't believe how good he is on that strider bike. I was running with the babies in the stroller to keep up with them. Can you believe we're wearing shorts and just a long sleeve shirt in the morning at the end of October?! The weather has been amazing!
Stopped to play on a tennis court on our walk one day.

FALL! it's been so beyond beautiful here! The tree outside our house turned yellow and was so beautiful for such a long time. There's bright red and yellow trees on every street AND we get to play outside in all the beautiful leaves. Seriously, Fall 2015 wins.
BQ just kicking it an cute as always.
The babies have come To LOVE the little broken jeep in the backyard. Quinn always crawls right over to it when we go outside and Bryson usually follows // Our thankful tree!
Curious babies making trouble.
Getting these boys from naps is so cute, more often than not, they're talking to each other and playing with one another where their cribs meet, Bryson has thrown his stuffed animal into Quinny's bed, they're so smiley when I come in, I just love it. The saddest part is having to pick which I'm going to pick up first, I always feel bad for the second baby even if I do switch off.

Speaking of naps Daylight savings was a doozy for us. We tried keeping the children awake an hour and a half past their normal bedtime the night before, it did us no good. They all awoke at 5:30 that Sunday morning. It was a looooooong Sunday, Casey was gone for meetings a lot of the day but we survived. Max ended up falling asleep on the way to 1 o'clock church and slept the first 2 hours of church, it was absolutely great, ha. The next morning 2 of the 3 kids slept until 8 am due to crappy sleeping the previous day, Casey was a saint and woke up with the 5:30 am Quinny that day who still hadn't caught on. I think the 3rd day all 3 woke up around 6 or 6:30 and we got back into the groove of when was an appropriate time to wake up, ha. In the recent week or two we move Maxson's mattress to the floor in our room in hopes it will help everyone sleep more soundly for multiple reasons, it's been working really well.

That's a wrap!
