Pumpkin Patch and Carving

Kimball made a new friend.

Watch out for the crazy woman driver.

Operation

Kimball informed me that Kitty had been stepped on and squished and that he needed to preform an operation to fix him. I handed the tools (literally screwdrivers, hammers and such)to Dr. Kimball as he carefully "fixed" Kitty. I am happy to say Kitty made it through the surgery, he is now just taking lots of naps and staying out of the way of peoples feet.

Halloween is almost here!!!

Halloween at Disneyland

This is not a great picture, but it is pumpkin heads of Goofy and Mickey Mouse. I should have gotten pictures of everything else. They have everything decorated really cute. We had a fun afternoon there on Thursday.

Kimball wears his costume everyday! I have already had to sew it up in a few places. Here is one cute boy eating a pumpkin cookie he made and decorated. We love the fall!

Kimball's first day of Preschool

Kimball started going to a preschool class two weeks ago. He only goes one day a week for three hours, but I miss him when he's gone. I keep telling him to stop getting bigger, but the response I get is "I am getting bigger", followed by the flexing of some pretty huge muscles. When I picked him up from school last week I asked him if he had eaten all of his lunch. His reply was, "No, but one boy got a soda in his lunch. What a lucky boy!" I couldn't help but giggle and agree with him. I started to think about the days at lunch when the trading of lunch items began for the stuff your mom would never buy. I was always the kid with nothing good to trade, apples, carrots, squished pb&j, and real fruit juice weren't hot items.

Photography by Kimball

Once again Kimball has been expressing his true feelings through photography. Just kidding, he just loves to take pictures.

The screw driver.

St. George

We made a quick trip to St. George to visit with Grandma and Grandpa. It was a lot of fun and the weather was awesome. The kids (I should say Kimball being as he is the only one we can understand) are really wanting to go back and play. It was very relaxing.

Grandma with the kids on a little morning walk.


We lucked out and got to see a desert tortoise cruising around. It kind of looks like a rock, but it is right above Kimball's head. Kimball really wanted to pick it up and give it a hug, such a sweet little guy. He is going through a step on and kill things stage, so this was reassuring.

Yes, this is how we found her while we were in the garage doing other things. She is drinking out of the dogs water nozzle. A quick learner this one. There was a lot of teeth brushing after this.


Lucky boy got to lick the extras off the beater.

My boys crawling around through little caves and crevasses.


This picture cracks me up because nobody was quite sure how Kate ended up on laying down like this in the dirt. My mom thought she was tired and laid down, but I am pretty sure this was an accident. The face is not too happy.

Finally an update

Now that we have settled in a little bit and are done traveling for the time being I am able to put up a new post. There are an array of pictures here from our recent happenings and they should suffice for now. Enjoy!!

Who couldn't use a little help with a somersault?


Kate is now eating at the table with us and feeding herself! She is definitely getting big way to fast.

A fun day trip to Disneyland with Daddy.

Best Buds.

Craziness

We have been very busy around here and have not been able to update the blog. In the last two weeks we have moved, been sick, and been out and about. New pictures will be posted as soon as we find the cord that does the uploading from our camera.

We all scream for ice cream

After family night this week we had ice cream cones. This was the first for Katelyn and she thought it was the best thing ever. As for Kimball, he would live on the stuff if we let him. Ice cream is usually one of the first things he asks for in the morning, after cereal and milk.
