cider, donuts, pumpkins, apples, & friends

Today we had a whirlwind tour of two of the local apple orchard/pumpkin patch places. In the morning we went pumpkin picking with some of mom's old college friends and their children and Three Cedar Farms. Garrett loved the wagon ride, trying to pick up heavy pumpkins, playing on all of the toys (especially the train) and of course enjoyed the cider and donuts!

In the afternoon we hit our second favorite apple orchard (The Frosty Apple is the best!), Plymouth Orchard with our friends. There are four little girls between their two families and Garrett adores all of them. Whenever we are all together Garrett and the two oldest love holding hands, it is so sweet.

anniversary

We recently celebrated our three year wedding anniversary. We visited the Andersen Center Rose Gardens where we got married and stayed the night at the inn that we stayed at three years ago. I dug up some old pictures to chronicle how things have changed in our lives over the last three years. (I'm missing pictures from 2008) Enjoy!

camping

Last weekend we went camping at Rifle River with a group of friends, old and new. It was a great weekend, a little chilly at night time (37 degrees) but the days were perfect fall days, the park is beautiful, and the company was awesome too! Garrett got his first big kid sleeping bag, which he loved and he got to run around with "big kids" all weekend long.

kicks

Last night we both got to feel the new baby kick for the first time - it was so exciting! Cindy has been feeling great, very healthy, and growing right along. The prenatal visits have been going well and we are getting very excited. This weekend we got all fancied up and went to Cindy's company party while Garrett stayed home with Uncle Jared and Aunt Elizabeth for the night - fun times for all!

planes

This past Saturday we went to see a radio controlled plane air show in the area per the suggestion of our favorite neighbor. It was definitely a hit with Garrett, and his mom thought it was pretty cool too (except for the one crash, which was a little startling)

Garrett loves to check out pictures and talk to his grandparents and uncle on the computer!

moooooo

We went on a little trip today to check out Calder Dairy, only a little more than 30 minutes from us. We got to see lots of cows, other animals, and got some milk.



Beep beep, watch out, I've got milk to deliver!

tomato soup & a haircut

One of Garrett's favorite foods is soup, specifically tomato soup. He enjoyed this bowl A LOT.

Dr. G would be proud of his dental hygiene habits.

Garrett went to get his first haircut on Thursday. It surely was much tougher for his mom than it was for him. He wasn't sure about the cape, but eventually the trimming began.
