Fall Crafts

So here are a few of my recent fall crafts. They look much better in person.

Glitner's Dairy Field Trip

Hunter's class had a field trip to a local dairy farm called Glitner's Dairy. Parents were allowed to come along too, so Wyatt and I meet them at the diary. The kids got to see how the cows are milked and then how it was processed before it gets shipped out to a factory to get bottled. Wyatt liked being outside and a good distance away from the cows, he did NOT like being in the barn while the cows were being milked.

Getting ready to leave to the dairy.

I love that Hunter loved us being there are wasn't embarressed.

This was a close a cow (even a calf) that Wyatt would get to.

The kids taking turns putting their finger in the machine that milks the cows.



Not a fan of being surrounded by cows getting milked.



Really not liking it.

While the guy was showing the kids how a cow gets milked, the cow right infront of everyone decided to poop, and it splattered on all the kids; the cows are up on a platform chest high.  (gross, but a great funny memory).

The kids were learning about all the different things that cows eat.

Enjoying to Strawberry Milk.

Our First Idaho Visitors

This weekend we had our first visitors since we have moved here to Idaho. My Grandma Cookie and Grandpa John came for a little visit. On Friday they took the boys to the circus that was in town, while Tyson and I had a date night. Then on Saturday I showed them around town a little and then we went to Rock Creek Park (a park by our home) for a picnic, walking, and fishing. The boys caught about a dozen fish; Grandma and I left early to get some groceries for dinner, and we took Wyatt with us too cause he fell in the really cold river and we needed to get him so clothes.

The Boys and their "Great" Grandparents

Hunter got to ride an elephant at the Circus, Wyatt was not interested.

The boys feed some of the animals at the circus.

It wouldn't be a circus without cotton candy.

Wyatt enjoyed the cotton candy but did not like his hands being sticky.

Grandma and the boys with a huge white boa.

While the boys were at the circus Tyson and I went on a hike and out for dessert.

Picnic at Rock Creek Park.

Hunter found a snake, but Grandma was the one that caught it. (What a Grandma!)

Grandma and the snake.

Hunter of course asked Tyson if he could take the snake home, and Tyson as usual said yes.

Wyatt loves to hold the fish they would catch. (He looks a little like his cousin Owen in this picture).

Boys and their catches of the day.

Hunter took the fishing pole up the creek by himself, and came running back with the fish he caught.

 

Grandpa fishing (he caught quite a few off the little spider man fishing pole).

Grandpa and Hunter with their fish.

Great job fishing guys!

My hunk of fisherman.

When the boys got home Tyson cooked the fish for a fabulous dinner. Grandma also did some cooking for dinner too, it was sooo good.

To top off the evening Grandma challenge Hunter to some wii games.

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for a wonderful weekend. We are so glad you guys were able to come up for a visit and see where we live. We love you guys a lot!!!

Halloween Wreath

I finished making my Halloween rag wreath the other day. I love the holiday between October and December, they are just so festive!

Tyson's 32nd Birthday

Tyson turned 32 on Monday so we had a yummy dinner and his favorite cake (the candy bar cake). Our neighbors came over to celebrate with us and brought Tyson a jar of delicious home-made strawberry jam. We have the greatest neighbors. Then to top off the night we played sing-star on the PlayStation (for those who haven't played t you're missing out). Hunter would beat Tyson about half of the time even though he can read the words (he makes it up). Anyways, it was a great evening to celebrate Tyson.

Such great singers.

Manual Mode

Okay so I am going to try my best from now on to only shoot pictures in manual mode. Normal I shoot in AV mode, but I am taking full control and am going to shoot in Manual. The boys were good sports and let me practice on them, of course they had to do a silly picture too.

Random Pictures

So here are some random pictures from the past couple of days.

Rain for the past couple of days makes a beautiful Rainbow.

Tyson with his new work truck.

We didn't have any power for a couple of hours so Wyatt and went walking around the mall, and Yes he still is wearing the Spiderman suit.

I took this picture of Hunter about 2 weeks ago when he rode his bike to school.
