Pumpkin Patch




I love going to the pumpkin patch with the boys to pick out their pumpkins.  The place we go to has tractors for the boys to climb on, a corn maze, and of course hundreds of pumpkins to choose from.  This year I chose some unusual pumpkins, one is all white (for Enzo),and one has what looks like warts all over it (for Anthony), and I even found an all green/gray one which Logan wanted.   This is such a fun tradition, our third year going, and I look forward to it every year!

BMX Redline Cup Race


   
We all went down to Las Vegas last week so Logan could compete in his first big race, the Redline Cup Championship.  Unfortunately, the whole family came down with a bad cold and cough the whole week, including Logan who gets asthma when he is sick and can't breath~it's terrible when you're trying to compete and you need to use your inhaler before each race!  The first day he raced against 45 other six-year old intermediates and was able to finish fourth!  The following day, he made it to the semi's where the first four would make it to the finals, and he finished fifth~right behind the fourth place kid!  He was so upset and disappointed, but we were so proud of him for accomplishing what he did because there were kids from all over the country there and the competition was fierce.  He gave it his all, and even though he didn't feel well he never gave up.  It was a great experience for all of us and we're looking forward to starting our indoor bmx season next week.  The best part of being down in Vegas was we were able to spend a little time with Gma and Gpa K who we haven't seen in months.  Gpa looked so good, after having a major surgery in June where they removed a thirty pound tumor from his abdomen, and he is currently receiving chemo treatments weekly.  Poor Logan had to wear a mask so that Gpa wouldn't catch his cold.  The boys love it at their house, and are definitely spoiled when they are there.  We were also able to "run into" the Vincents who were on their way to Disneyland.  The boys were so surprised to see them and they all had fun running around the MGM and M&M factory on the strip.  We had a fun week, but it was so nice to be back home and back into the routine of our lives!

Cornbellies






















We took advantage of the beautiful weather last weekend and took the boys to cornbellies at Thanksgiving Point.  We invited Gma Trudi to come along with us since she had never been.  We missed last year because of the swine flu and weather, I was so impressed with all the changes they had done.  There were so many fun things to see and do, and it was such a warm day we were able to take our time and see everything!  We watched pig races, mined for rocks, raced gocarts,  Logan rode a bull,  and I even gathered the nerve to walk through the haunted monster.  What a fun way to get ready for fall and Halloween, we all had a blast!

September 2010 Slideshow

We made it through September without having any cold weather!!!  I'm so glad I was able to do some fun fall activites with the boys while Logan was off track.  I know cooler weather will come in October, I just hope the snow will wait a little while longer!
