The Pumpkin Patch

On saturday we went to visit my parents. In the morning me and rich went on a wonderful date to the temple and afterwords we all went to the pumpkin patch.

Claire LOVED it and kept making this cute face... She was so excited.

She picked out a pumpkin....

To get to the pumpkin patch we road a little train to the patch, and road this ferry back. It was a lot of fun. Here is my mom, sara, claire and grandma!

And we carved the pumpkins.... Everyone did great!

Rich did the pumpkin on the end that looks like a football helmet.

I carved claire's pumpkin....

My parents are amazing!

My parents are amazing! They have been busy doing all kinds of things. My dad built a deck in their back yard with a pond for my dad's koi. It looks great.

My parents made these rocks out of chicken wire and cement!

Here are some pictures of the final seminary room.

Screaming, Messes and Cuteness

Screaming...

Claire gets pretty upset some mornings when Rich goes to school. This face is so cute I just had to take a picture of it. She sure does lover her daddy.

Luckily the grumpiness doesn't last too long...

As for the messes, Claire is an expert. She loves to feed herself so I am normally stuck with a happy yet very messy girl.

A couple days ago Claire was being really quiet so I went to check on her. I found her like this... She discovered she can rip pages out of books. Now I find pieces all over the house. I hope she stops that soon.

And now for some cuteness.... Isn't Claire adorable! I love her little smile.

Claire is getting REALLY good at standing and this week even took a step or two but she isn't very motivated to walk. She knows she is really fast at crawling and is pretty content with that. Here she is on sunday after church.

Ready to watch the game with daddy...

Since it is getting cold again I am happy to say I am getting back into my crocheting hats. I love it. I haven't had much time lately but I did make claire a yellow and green "Ducks" hat. I ended up putting a big yellow flower on it after i took this picture so that she looks more girly.

Conference weekend fun

Last weekend my family came down and spent a couple days with us. It was so much fun! We watched conference, played, went to the farmers market and the boys even made a trip to Cabellas.

Claire loved the attention!

She loves being walked around the house.

She is standing up so well. I don't think it will be long till I am really chasing her everywhere.

Im not so worried about the walking as I am about the climbing. I think this little girl is going to be into EVERYTHING and on top of EVERYTHING. She can already do pull ups and wants to show off to momma all day long.

She thought she was so cool....
I can't believe how strong claire is and how big she is getting.
