Thanksgiving break

It was so nice having Ryan home for a few days. He gets super busy with school so its great when he gets a break from school to hang with the family. We went to Ryan's aunt house for Thanksgiving this year and I forgot to bring my camera, so no pictures. We had a lot of really good food and it was great to have Ryan's whole family there.Kynzee and Kayden had a hay day playing with the zillion kids that were there. Kaylie and Kyle came up from Utah, they have the cutest kids and Kynzee loves having them here. A couple days after Thanksgiving we went to a fun little activity that had Santa clause, hay rides, and free food. Besides it being freezing, we had really good time. I love having Ryan's sister here, we were able to do some fun activities with our kids. Here are the only pictures i took that whole weekend.

Halloween

Halloween was so much fun this year! Kynz understood what it was all about and loved every minute of our festivities. The Friday before Halloween we had our ward Halloween party and we went as Boise state fans. Kynzee was an adorable little cheerleader, Kade was a football player and me and Ry wore jerseys. We were voted as the most united family. Sweet! We did truck or treating and then ate some yummy chilli and treats. Ryan made his sweet and zesty chilli for the cook off and won the best chilli.









Saturday we headed to Boo at the Zoo, we had gone previous years and it was so much fun. This year was sooo crowded it was ridiculous. Kynzee still had a great time looking at the animals and getting candy; But never again!! haha. I was only able to snap a few pictures because it was too hectic with all the people.


Halloween we met up with Ryan's family and did some trick or treating. Kynzee had a hay day running around with all her cousins. It was prolly the cutest thing watching kynz get so excited to run to the next house and say trick or treat. Kayden was content just walking around with us while his sister got all the candy. We made her share a few treats with her brother and parents. :) It was pretty cold that night so we only stayed out for a bit. After we headed to my parents house for some Godfathers pizza and some trick or treating around my parents house. It was such a fun night and kids seriously make holidays so much better.

Fall Leaves

I absolutely LOVE fall time! A couple weeks ago Ryan and I took the kids on a walk around Rigby Lake. The leaves were amazing! Kynz had fun playing on the toys while Kayden played in all the leaves. It was a a really warm evening and we had fun walking around and enjoying the beautiful colors of fall.



Kynzee trying to climb a tree, funny girl!









I'm in love with Kade's cheesy smile

Carving Pumpkins

Ryan's little sisters, Holly and Heather, came up for a sleep over and we decided it would be a good night to carve our pumpkins that we had gotten. Ryan was nice enough to cut the top of all of ours and then we dug in. Kynzee has no fear of getting dirty so she just jumped right in. We told her that we were going to eat the seeds after we were finished but she decided to eat them before we even cooked them, she wasn't the biggest fan. ha ha! We also let Kayden put his hands in the pumpkin and he was in heaven. He tried to eat all the gooey insides of the pumpkin, he screamed when we pulled him away. We had a fun night of carving pumpkins, eating the seeds, and painting our nails halloweenie.

Pumpkin Patch

We took the kids down to Idaho Falls to a pumpkin patch and let them choose their own pumpkins. They had some sweet carts that we pulled Kynz and Kade around in. They thought it was the best.
Before we chose a pumpkin we went through the straw maze they had there. Kynz led us through the entire thing and kept yelling "follow me guys, i know where to go". It was pretty cute.
We ended up in a few dead ends!

We also fed the chickens some corn kernels


Kynz ran out to the pumpkin patch and chose a "baby" pumpkin! : )

There was a train that was out of commission that Kynzee wanted to ride. Ryan kept telling her that it was broken but she kept saying "Please fix train daddy". We still let them sit in it for a few pictures.
