The Great Big Pumpkin...well sort of!

You know this time of season is a lot more fun when you have a little one to do all the fun things with! Brad had the last two weekends off so we got lots of projects done and time to get outdoors. We enjoyed 70+ degree weather but I think I gloated too much because Frankenstorm could do some funny things come next week.....don't think we will anything horrible but  I stocked up just in case!

Thanks Grandma for the sweet package! Kellen loved the card and dad loved the treats! 

 They have multiple pumpkin patches around the area so we had many to chose from but this was close to our house and probably the best for Kellen. He can't do too much but he did have fun being outside and seeing new things.

Any time on dad's shoulders is a good time! This was at their "corn maze" it wasn't really a corn maze but we were glad because Kellen wouldn't have lasted long in a real one!

Kellen hated sitting on top of there and of course the great parents we are, we decided to take a picture to capture the moment!

Seriously this time of year is beautiful, come visit us around this time and you will be amazed! Love it!

Here is Kellen with his pumpkin, he sure fell in love it it! The only problem was on the hay ride back he wanted to chew on the stem, I thinking it wasn't the best wouldn't allow it and he would have none of it. So he screamed the whole way back...I am thinking next time it won't be a big deal if he wants to chew on it.

Sunday we went up to the Roanoke Star that overlooks the Roanoke area, it was a gorgeous day and we had fun walking around! This is where we are taking family pictures next week, let's just hope it doesn't snow before then! And last the picture below is one of the many ways Kellen sleeps, but this seems to be his favorite. They just are so cute when they are curled up in a ball with their butt in the air!

Oh What Site Seers We Are.....

A couple weekends ago we had the chance to drive up to D.C and stay for a night. Brad's mission president and his wife came in from New Zealand and were stopping in D.C for the weekend. Brad has two other mission companions in the area so we all met up at a restaurant in Georgetown and visited for quite a long time. It was great to meet them and see them all chatting about Ghana. Kellen did great on the trip and we even got to see some sites and try out the metro!

Here we are at the Washington Monument, we didn't give ourselves enough time to see anything else but we did stop at the World Wa II Memorial.

 It's funny how so many people try and take funny pictures with the monuments. We were not the only ones looking ridiculous...but to no avail we were not successful in making Kellen look like he was sitting on top. But at least we tried! 

Representing good ol' Idaho! Isn't Kellen getting so big! He has is two front teeth and a molar in and a top one coming!

Here is the group of us at lunch! It was great to meet his Mission President, President Dill and Sister Dill. They were the sweetest people and made all of us feel like family. 

Brad's mission companion D.J and his wife Whitney have a little one about 6 months younger than Kellen. You can't tell from this picture but it is funny to see the size difference already! Noah is such a cute baby and we enjoyed meeting him and visiting with friends!

One of these days I will update with pictures of the house. We find new projects to do every day but Brad is better at finishing his than I am at mine. I sure am lucky to have him around!
