Pumpkin Patch

Will's class had a field trip to Bizi Farms Pumpkin Patch and Jonny, Katie, and I tagged along for the ride. It rained and rained and rained the days leading up to it, fortunately we weren't rained on while we were there, unfortunately, it was a big muddy mess! :) So we donned our raincoats, rain boots, and cheesy smiles for our fun day!
The boys were quite taken with all the animals they had there. The pigs were wrestling and showing off, I had to pull the boys away from their sty. :)

Will's class posing on the huge haystacks piled high--he's the one in the front with the cheesy grin.
Jonny carried his own pumpkin-- I made both the boys pick ones they could carry on their own in their bags--I had Katie strapped to me in the bjorn and wasn't going to attempt to carry the huge pumpkins I knew they'd want. They picked some good ones! I must say, they look pretty tiny on our front porch though.
Zachary, Will, and Jonny waiting for everyone to find pumpkins so we could ride the tractor back to the farm.

Redmond Visit

So Will, Katie, and I went down to Redmond, OR to pick up Jonny boy and stay for a few days. It was great! I do wish I'd taken some more pics though . . . we woke up to snow one morning and went in the hot tub everyday . . . it was a very chill visit. Thank you mom and dad for everything!

My mom and I took Katie with us to a CABI party--it's a clothing line I'd never heard of before--Katie was the bell of the ball and our little shopper in training. :) Much to Derrik's dismay. :)

She already has her Papa wrapped around her finger. ;) (JK dad) . . . well, kind of . . .

Will and Kiki Tubbing It Up

Jonny has been with his Nana and Papa the past week and Will and Katie have had some fun times together. Will can't stand taking a bath by himself and in the absence of Jonny Boy we had Katie step in. She loved it!

I have to admit, she's smiling like this all the time, unless she's tired, hungry, or needs a bum change. :) We are pretty blessed with such a good baby girl.

Cinetopia Date Night

So props to my amazing hubby for finding this place called Cinetopia. It's here in Vancouver and basically its a pimped out movie theater. :) He took me to the restaurant attached to the theater, called Vinotopia. The food was amazing and it was a very lounge-y set up, tons of people were there to just eat dinner and not for a movie. After we ate we went into the theater-- the seats were all plush leather with a tray for your concessions. We were only sitting for a few minutes when a waiter came to take our order--the people next to us ordered food from the restaurant, we opted for soda and popcorn--the waiter brought them to us and we just sat with our feet up and enjoyed our yummy snacks while we watched the show. They also had live music in the theater while you waited for the show to begin--non of that elevator tune-age going on. It was a great date night! Thank you honey! And thank you mom and dad for watching all 3 kiddos so we could have a night to ourselves. :)

Don't let his face fool you, he had a ball. :)
The leather ottoman we pulled up to rest our feet on. :) In case you haven't guessed, we highly recommend seeing a movie this way if you can! :)

Playing Around

Derrik's parents (Far Far and Far Mor) came to visit us a few weeks ago and the boys had a ball playing with their Far Far. It was so fun!!!

We went up to Olympia for Mark's 4th birthday -- it was at Chuck E Cheese and Will and Jonny were in hog heaven! Happy Birthday Mark-o! :) Will is stoked that you're four now!

Jonny was pretty serious about this horse ride, he went on it several times.
Will's incessant lip licking shows here--the blue ring is from the frosting on the yummy cupcake he ate. :)
