Pumpkin Patch

Last year we went to Marengo Farms and had a good time. Well Caden being a year older loved it even more.

Here he is in the Pools filled with corn kernals, last year Caden hated that(texture issues) and this year jumped right in, made corn kernal angels, buried his legs and hands. We had to beg him to get out he loved it so much.







They also had a maze that Caden was leader, once again he loved that he could be the leader.




They had a bunch of animals that Caden was bashful at all to pet, Horses, sheep, chicken's, ducks. He wasn't scared of any of them. And was really excited to see the duck had eggs.




Then we went on a tractor ride. Very exciting just like his grandpas tractor.




The tractor to us to the pumpkin patch. and we luckily convinced Caden we'd get one at the store, we found out they hiked prices and were asking $8 a pumpkin.




End it all with chili, hot chocolate and hot dog. We had a Great time!!







After that we went Geocaching(definition here for those that don't know what it is)
Geocaching is an outdoor activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers (called "geocaches" or "caches") anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container (usually a tupperware or ammo box) containing a logbook. Larger containers can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets
Eric maps out Cache's along the route we took home. So we parked and started on a nature trail and then the woods. Caden has a blast just following his daddy and Macey was asleep the whole time in the snuggie. It was a good time.

M-m-m Macey Face

Macey is so great! She really is just a joy to have in our lives. It's hard to believe she's almost 2 months, it feels like shes been here much longer plus she just seems so much older. And she is doing so much better, ear infection is gone, Reflux is getting better and she's packin' on the pounds like its her job.

She is currently tipping the scale at 13 lbs 13 oz. Quite the ham like her brother.

Here she is in the bumbo seat. She loves it for the most part and has fallen asleep in it twice. Too funny.








My brother and Luis send Macey this adorable University of Utah Cheerleading Outfit. We aren't big fans of the BYU so in my family we support the U. Well, except for Eric who likes to cheer for BYU to tease the family.



Let's just pretend she's smiling here, not crying k?



4-Wheelin'

Eric's parents bought a 4-wheeler and Eric had a blast and eventually Caden. Once Eric convinced Caden to try riding with him he was hooked. You can see the pure joy on his face and Erics.










Life in the Country



Funny story, I finally got him to go onto it and it was late evening, so we were pushing him around and he was laughing hysterically, then he kinda hiccup/burped and I said "are you okay?" he replied "yeah, I'm just sick a little bit" so I stop to make sure he's good and we keep going. Well after awhile I got him to come inside and get ready for bed and I go to change him and he had thrown up and just wipe his mouth with his sleeve. Awesome, it didn't even phase him, he just threw up, wiped his mouth and kept laughing.











Rolling down the hill




You can pee anywhere in the country, Caden loves it.





Caden and his Grandma Connie(Eric's Mom)

Caden and Granpa's Awesome Tractor, it looks like the one from the movie "Cars" you know all the cow tractors that tip over. Exactly.



Tire of the Tractor, where's Caden?

Caden who noramlly doesnt fall asleep anywhere but in bed alone, was so exhausted from playing so much that he fell asleep everywhere, this pic is at Eric's cousins hosue, we were playing Rockband and he just sat there and fell asleep.



This is how we came home to him after we went out on a date.



Caden got to play with Eric and Jon's old Legos. He had a blast and gave us a good idea for a brithday present.




Here's Macey in her adorable little hat. She handled the surprisingly cold weather GREAT!!
