Logan's 6th Birthday Party

This year for his birthday, Logan decided he wanted to have a sleep over with his friends. We invited his closest friends~Hunter, Indy, and Maddox~over for a fun "Tony Hawk" birthday celebration. I planned a little scavenger hunt around the house and yard (to tire them out a little), we had pizza, and opened presents, had ice cream and cake and watched a movie. They all had so much fun together playing with his new toys they were exhausted by the end of the night. Logan had so much fun with his friends, I think his party was a huge success!

Picking out pumpkins

Last year I discovered a little pumpkin patch by our house that was so cute and fun for the boys, so this year I was so excited to take my sister and her kids with us to go and pick out their fall pumpkins. The boys all had so much fun pushing their wheelbarrows around looking for the perfect pumpkin, it took awhile because they have hundreds to choose from. They also had a blast running through the little corn maze and playing on all the farm tractors. They even posed for a few pictures with each other and mom. This place is so much fun, another yearly tradition for us!

Fun at the "Vincent Lodge"

I took the boys for a quick get away up into the mountains to look at all the beautiful fall colors and to spend the day and night at a beautiful resort called the "Vincent Lodge"~aka Scott and Jen's new cabin! They have a brand new deluxe place up past Oakley, just 1 1/2 hours away from home. We had a blast riding four-wheelers, going on a hike, and searching for wildlife~Scott and I rode right past a huge moose! The boys had so much fun playing with their cousins, and I had so much fun helping Jen decorate and waiting for all the new furniture to arrive. What a fun place to get away to enjoy the beautiful mountains we have here, we can't wait to go up again soon!

Where did summer go?! I do love fall though, and am looking forward to the coming months to do some fun outdoor activities before winter hits.

The Witches at Gardner Village

Every year I look forward to visiting the Witches at Gardner Village. Since it was such a beautiful fall day, I took the boys there today. The whole place is decorated so cute with all the fall and halloween witches, the boys had fun trying to find where they all were hiding, Logan kept saying we were going on a witch hunt. Following tradition, we ended our visit by going to the delicious bakery for a cookie and doughnut, yummy!

Cowabunga Bay

We decided to enjoy the last part of summer this Labor Day by spending some time at the water park Cowabunga Bay. We had watched it being built last spring, and I had been wanting to take the boys there all summer long, but something always seemed to come up. The boys had a blast sliding on all the slides, swimming in the pool, and floating around the lazy river. What a fun place for kids to go and have fun and cool off in the summer~we will definitely go back again next year! Thanks Jen and Scott for the "passes";)

"Fund Run" at school

Logan's school put on a "fund run" today, which is a way for kids to gather donations for assemblies and field trips by running laps around a track. They ran for twenty minutes, and Logan ran 19 laps-and I didn't hear him complain once! In fact, it looked like he was having a blast! What a fun way for the kids to spend a day at school~way to go!
