I love Bryant!

Here is one of the many reasons I love my husband. He is a wonderful father!


Hay Stack Maze

We went to a pumpkin patch in Springville that has two free hay stack mazes. They are not difficult or long but perfect for the children :) In addition to the hay mazes they also had some animals to see and a giant "sandbox" filled with corn kernels. The children had lots of fun!

This is Bryant petting the HUGE pig

The boys were excited to pet the donkey


Tucker was excited to see real emus


Hunter really wanted to pet the sheep but it never got close enough


















This is the amazing corn box to play in. It was at least 6 inches deep and likely deeper

We also went on a little ride pulled by a tractor

First half of October :)

How many boys can you fit on the couch? 4!!

Gunnar prefers to fall asleep in a vertical position. Often falling asleep while facing outward in my arms. Well I put him down on the couch sitting up so he could see what was going on and he fell asleep with a finger in his mouth.

Here is Gunnar with Bryant enjoying some time outside at the park

I just love the way he looks in the hat. He hates it though because it always gets twisted around and in his face when he turns.

Brylee had me bring the music table to the kitchen. I thought it was because she was going to dance instead she pulled a kitchen chair to it to sit in while playing : P

Gunnar has some amazing stomach muscles and hates to be bent in half. At his 2 month check the doctor tried to sit him up so he could listen to his back with the stethoscope but Gunnar refuse to sit up so the Dr. laughed and just rolled Gunnar over on his stomach. Here is proof of his preference to be flat ;)

Gunnar is finally old enough to appreciate his jungle gym of toys. He enjoys laying under it and attacking his toys or just talking to them as he is doing in this video :) 

Here is Tucker :)

Here is Hunter :)


September

This was my to do list at the end of August. There were a lot of things that I wanted to get done but I was having a hard time remembering all of them. When I started the list it only had 5 or 6 things on it, then as I was working on the list I remember more and more things. It took a couple of days to complete all of it but it feels good to have it all done!



Brylee found a "hiding spot" in the kitchen. It is one of her favorite spots. She especially loves to be there when someone is doing the dishes or making dinner. :)


Here she is coloring a picture. I just love that she laid down on the ground to do it :)

Brylee has been potty training since the end of August. She wasn't as ready as the boys were when I potty trained them but I wanted to make sure that I had Bryant home to help get her to the potty while I was feeding Gunnar. I learned that it is a LOT harder to catch a little girl peeing on the floor than a boy! It took a whole day and a half to get anything in the toilet and there were quite a few accidents the first week. She would get super sad each time she had an accident that it helped me not get too frustrated with cleaning up the mess. 

Here are some pictures of my handsome little Gunnar!

Pass of All Passes

I finally convinced Bryant to let us buy some pass of all passes. They were on sale for $19.99 and we had three $5 off coupons for City deals so they were only $15 each. Since there are only three of us 4 and older we got three for $45, cheaper than the normal price for 1! I was super excited. Well this pass of all passes is awesome because it gives you unlimited access to 11 different locations, including seven peaks in the summer! This is the main reason I wanted them, our children love to swim but it is expensive to pay to go swimming all the time. Right now is the off season for swimming so I am eagerly awaiting our chance to use the passes for swimming next summer!

We have gone as a family to Trafalga in Lehi a couple of times now. Tucker was super excited after the first trip to find out that the place was "free" everyday so that we could go back again and again. I'm grateful that my children can have fun somewhere and be grateful to have gone once and not need us to pay for things over and over. So Tucker was super excited to know that we could come back. At Trafalga in Lehi they have a couple of fun rides for the children. They really like the airplanes



Even though Brylee is not quite tall enough to ride, she was permitted to ride passenger instead of in the controls the second time we went.Once was enough for her ;)

There are also Go Karts. The boys had lots of fun riding along with Dad and passing people up. 







 Tucker really likes how this ride tickles his tummy, It goes up and drops down in intervals.



There is also a pirate ship ride that swings back and forth. All three children love it!
