{10.12.20 - 10.18.20}

We like to take Dad a drink up the canyon as often as we can and today the boys were feeling a little extra lovey! I love Eli's little squished cheeks! // I definitely can't complain about this drive we get to make!  

We love to do the little hike around the lake and see if we can see any fish in the water. 

How cute is this little spot!?

We love our local pumpkin patch! We were pretty excited to get to go again this year! 

Loving the corn pit! 

They had a new combine slide this year!

They also let a little goat just wander around visiting everyone and the kids were more excited about the goat than the rest of the activities! Haha! // Love this little tractor driver! 

We are so glad they kept the tractor ride! 

Look at these cute little piggies! I love how curious they were about Eli! // How cute is this picture of Eli and Dad reading scriptures!? I love it so much! 

He is such a good little helper! He always wants to help me cook or vacuum...as most 2 year olds do, but I sure enjoy having his help! 

It has been so fun to have Reed come play throughout the week...and of  course Axel would have been the one to shove his ball up his shirt! 

I really love that there is a park right next to Alya's ballet practice! Axel is getting very brave on this caterpillar! 

We just keep losing teeth over here! Alya was pretty excited to get another visit from the tooth fairy! // I love these girls! Sometimes it takes me by surprise how much these girls look alike. (silly, I know!) Their eyes in this picture are amazing!! 

 

{10.7.19 - 10.13.19}

The girls got to go on their first field trip this week!! They were so excited to ride the bus! I'm glad that the boys and I were able to go with them! 

They said they were really glad that I could go with them because they were a little nervous about it, but you'll notice that I don't have any pictures of Alya...that's because we got to the pumpkin patch and she didn't even turn around to make sure I was there. Which is something I'm glad about, believe it or not! I love that she can just go and have fun!  

The kids have a habbit of slamming our gate and they get in trouble for it everytime they do. I was downstairs one morning putting some clothes away and I could hear the gate slamming. So I was on my way up to yell at whoever the culprit was and I heard a loud band and Axel say "uh oh." When I got up the stairs he was trying to put the gate back together. Thankfully Eli doesn't need the gate anymore. It's so weird to not have it though! After about six years with the gate it seems so different to be without it!  

Eli loves it when Bullet gets to come inside. Bullet is so patient with Eli, thank goodness!  

Oh Axel. He just cracks me up! I had put his regular clothes on him as I always do, but next thing I know this little pink blur ran right past me. I walked into the front room and found him like this! // I am so proud of these little trees I burned!!  

You know, pre-church shenanigans. I sometimes have an internal struggle with situations like this, because I am just so glad they are all getting along but I'm afraid of someone getting hurt if it continues!  

Eli loves popcorn as much as the rest of his family. Probably more-so than some of his family! I love it when he just climbs up next to me like this. I love his chubby little fingers and his cute little feet!
