The First Snow
Last year we had a really lame winter here in the Springs. We only had about two snow storms all year. So, i've been hoping that we have a better winter this year and we are already off to a good start. Last weekend the forecaster called for some rain but we ended up getting a good little snow storm...which was perfect for making snowmen. Thank goodness dad was home to help build it...I was cutting up a bunch of apples we picked from Missy's tree to make applesauce and it took all morning (sometimes being domestic isn't all it cracked up to be :)

Pumpkin Patch Fun
Every fall since Taylor was just a baby we have always gone to a some sort of fall farm festival. In Utah it was Hee Haw Farms with old Leroy the pig...now it's a farm out in Black Forest that we've been to the past two years. It's always a great time and gets me into the fall spirit, if there is such a thing :)
We got free pumpkins because we came with a friends preschool group. Love it!
All the kids had a great time in the corn box...even Hadley who was practicing her newly acquired skill of sitting up. We kept the gloves on so she couldn't pick up the corn and choke on it.
The kids had a blast going down the big slides on burlap sacks.
Snuggling with Hadley on the hay ride.
The Brandon and kids were loving using the big sling shot to fling gourds out into the field.
I'd say that half of the whole time we were at the farm Beckett spent with the animals at the petting zoo...he absolutely loved petting every single one.

Fall is here
On Sunday after conference we drove up rampart range road to look at the beautiful fall colors. We wanted to walk around and get some pictures but it ended up being pretty chilly so we didn't do much exploring. Luckily we found a nice pull off the road and got some cute pictures of the kiddos.
On Saturday of conference we sent the kids out to play at the end of the first session....they started their own baseball game.
Watching, coloring, "bingo"ing, snacking...
Earlier in the week Taylor had a skate party at her school so we made it a family affair. Everyone had a great time. The girls have already decided that they are going to have roller skating Birthday parties next year....we'll see :)

The first loose tooth
Taylor has been very excited to have a loose tooth since kindergarten....many of her school mates had lost multiple teeth by the end of the year. She was disappointed, especially when her cousin Logan, who is only 6 month older than her, had 2 loose teeth.
Well, the 2nd week of school Taylor came running home from the bus with a big smile on her face....she had a loose tooth! So it was wiggling time...I have to admit I wanted to wiggle that tooth right out of her mouth for her! I don't know why it bugged me so....but it went on for weeks and finally Brandon convinced Taylor to let him push some floss under the tooth. We were so surprised when that thing shot straight up in the air...we found the tooth 5 feet away! Taylor was excited and Brandon was about to pass out. He gets that way with things like this....silly boy.
The tooth fairy brought Taylor $2.00 for her first tooth , a little steep if you ask me. (But when her cousin gets 2 bucks for his tooth a week prior, there wasn't much of the choice :) The tooth fairy even left a note for her...which mentions not to expect so much money next time....hehehe!
