One way of doing it...

One way to get a new cuddly teddy bear and cute blanket is to look up at your daddy with your big blue eyes, smile sweetly and ask nicely. Another way would be to get a concussion and spend six hours in the ER. Jenna got a concussion while playing with her neighbor friend. Fortunately she ok and no perminate damage was done. It did take her a little longer than they would have liked to see for her to come back around, but she eventually did. And who wouldn't like to come home with a cute bear and blanket?

Farmstead

Every year we go to the pumpkin patch and enjoy all of the festivities there. This year we had a ward party at a Corn Maze/Pumpkin Patch that a couple in our ward own. The kids had a wonderful time riding on the cow train, running through the mini maze, jumping on the giant bubble, eating donuts and best of all, playing in the corn box. What a fun night out!

What we've been doin'...

Jenna started her dance class last week. She's in a ballet/tap combo class. So far she loves it and absolutely loves her tap shoes! :) Adam fell asleep at dinner. I thought he was just really tired, but come to find out he was sick and running a fever.

Logan likes to eat in a different way. For example, eating peanut butter from a the container with his hands and/or spatula.

And "drink" his yogurt instead of eat it!

I was able to go up in an airplane with my scouts with the Young Eagles Program. It was my first time in a small plane. It was fun, although I did get a little nauseous and dizzy being up there. The boys had a great time though! :)

Where does the time go?

Adam started first grade yesterday and had a wonderful day! He loves his first grade teacher, Mrs. Snyder and says she is really nice.
Now, I'm just wondering, where does the time go?

Ready for his first day of school!

We sure are proud!!!

Some of our Favorite Things

Here are some of our favorite things lately...

So Many Great Things...

We always have a great time taking the boat out, unfortunately we don't do it near as much as we would like to. Here's some pictures from our last outing.
Jon and Cooper...two crazy kids! Jenna learning how to drive the boat, with Grandpa's supervision

Ryan is amazingJenna loved riding on the tube

Carsey and Mila shared a special day on Saturday; Carsey was baptized and Mila was blessed by their dad. What a great day. We were so glad they made a lot of effort to come to Boise so we could be apart of these great milestones. Congratulations Carsey and Mila!

Logan had tubes put in his ears on Monday. YEA! Hopefully we have a lot less ear infections, more sleeping at night and a happier little boy!

Richards Reunion 2010

The Richards Family Reunion was this last weekend. Ryan was just going to take Adam and head down, but at the last minute "convinced" me to go with him (not that it took a lot of convincing! :) ) We headed down late Thursday night and went to the Hogle Zoo on Friday, what a fun zoo! The kids had a good time! We spent some time at Temple Square. We haven't taken the kids there in a very long time...what a great teaching experience!

Then we headed to a park and had the big family gathering on Saturday.

Bridal Veil Falls was beautiful...and fun for the kids...

Adam and Logan enjoyed their own version of crochet.

Some water balloon volleyball to cool off the hot day!

We are so glad we went and had a great time! Thanks for those who let us crash at their house at night!
