Pumpkin Patch
Here are a couple of pictures of when we went to the pumpkin patch with Grandma. The kids really liked picking out their own pumpkin. We decided not to do the pumpkin maze/trail this year and I sort of missed that but things were just chaotic that day.
We're Moving!
As many of you know, we have been looking for a new employment opportunity. We have searched far and wide and really wanted to stay in our current location. However, Diego has found a great job on the Wasatch Front. We are happy to be moving closer to family but now we have to go through the hassle of moving. Aaaargh. I am sort of hoping that since we have only lived in our current house for a year, that putting everything back into boxes will be easy . . . it feels like we really just unpacked them. I don't have an exact timeframe but I am thinking that we will move sometime in November.

Happy Birthday Nicolas!
Nicolas turned 5 this week and in an effort to redeem myself from last year's downer birthday, I really tried to make his day special. So, I made a few little extra efforts.
First, I made this poster and put it above our fireplace for when he woke up. I also made a special doorway to his bedroom. If forgot to get a picture of it but it was basically a shower curtain cut into strips with writing on it. Every time he went into his room, he would pass through the curtain. He thought that was kind of neat.
Next we made cupcake for his school class and he had his favorite friend over to play. Then, he took the cupcakes to school where he was the "special leader" for the day.
After he came home, he watched a "library movie" and then had dinner. He chose hamburgers and hot dogs. I wanted to gag but since it was his birthday, we made them anyway. (I have a hard time with meet when I'm pregnant.)
Then he opened his presents and we sang happy birthday.
We gave him some legos and hot wheels tricks tracks. For some reason he really thinks hot wheels are cool. But they have to be hot wheels brand.
These are the cupcakes we made for his school class. I didn't want to make two cakes so we used them to sing happy birthday to him too.
After dinner we went to this new park a little ways from our house. It is a very unique beautiful park.
Did I do good making a special birthday? I tell you, I was exhausted by the end. I know I'm a wimp but I was wiped out.
