Beginning Fall!






We had a lot of fun buying pumpkins, taking the chair lift and hiking to Stewart Falls this past Saturday. Clayton still can fall asleep any where. The other day while I was mowing the grass he fell asleep on the very load riding lawn mower.

Halloween time!



We saw an elderly man selling pumpkins on the side of the road and stopped. So much more fun buying pumpkins not from the grocery store. Next year we'll just plant them ourselves, sounds like even more fun. Clayton choose this pumpkin and carried it all the way to the car. Devin choose one that looked like the shape of a head. It will be fun to see how he'll use his artistic ability.

Ending the summer!






I decided to pull out some paint one day and so Clayton and I made word blocks saying, "Join Us!" which is by our dinning table. Also "Clayton" which will go in his room. Then I painted some walls and ceiling in the home. I decided I would Clayton practice his painting skills just on the blocks. Can you tell why? We had great success with our watermelons. We had three about this size and ate them up. I shared a little with Devin. We had a few visits to the Legacy Center swimming pool and one more kiddie pool fill at home in Septmember. We like to end the summer with a splash. Clayton, like most boys, loves to play in the dirt. He likes when I play with him and so I thought of a girly approach to playing in the dirt. Now he always wants to make cookies, cakes, and pizza out of the dirt, rocks, and leaves. The dirt picture are his cookies, which he made all by himself.
