Black Island Farm

We went to Black Island Farm.

I wish we could get all 3 kids to look at the camera and smile in one picture.  Instead we have to take the best of both.

 The kids LOVE the slides.

Aliyah wanted to be independent this year and go down by herself. 

I love this picture - it captures all of them enjoying the slide!

We rode the "train"

We did the corn maze for about 7 minutes until the kids got bored and wanted to go back out.  Luckily we were in the kids maze and weren't too far in and could find our way back out.

They loved playing in the corn kernals

More slides

Hailey liked this one because it was her size

We did some "horsing" around

Then we went on our hayride to pick out pumpkins

Here is Hailey's

And Aliyah's

And Packer's

We had a great time!

Family Pictures

We had some beautiful weather and we were needing a new family picture, so we quickly got dressed and went outside to take some pictures.

Here are the ones that made the cut!

What cute kids!!!  I love them all so much!

Here are some "before" pictures, trying to find the best spot - they still turned out pretty cute I thought

And I love this smile on Hailey's face!

Here are some other cute ones of Packer

We wanted to get one of the three kids together, but as you can tell, that didn't work out so well.

We got a couple of fun ones of the girls

After pictures we had a treat to reward the kids for being good for the pictures.

Good thing we got our picures taken before our dessert! ha ha

Yum!

The next day Aliyah said we didn't have a picture of us together so she took the camera and posed us for this one. 

 Made me laugh for a few reasons: #1 - she posed us like that.  She wanted us to stand like that, with our hands behind our back, and kiss.  #2 - she looked at the picture as soon as she took it and said "Aww cute" (she says that any time she takes a picture, no matter what it looks like).  #3 - I love that Hailey got into the picture and is standing there in between us! ha ha

There you have it - our 2013 family pictures and more :)

Cute Trouble

This is how we found Packer asleep the other night.  ha ha!

Packer likes to get into things, but is so cute when he does it!

He pulled down our curtains on top of him and tried crawling out of it, but kept getting caught.  Aliyah thought he looked like a ghost.  He was mad, but it was pretty funny so I had to get a picture of him first before rescuing him!

A few minutes later this cute, trouble maker opened my oven drawer and crawled in.  I still had the camera out so I caught all the mischief on camera!

Good thing he is so cute!

Gardner Village

We visit Gardner Village twice each year: Around Halloween and Christmas.  Around Halloween, there are  witches on display.  Around Christmas, there are elves.  Here are two very cute witches!

We also like to go into the candy store so that Daddy will get us something sweet!

This was Packer's first time.

Fall Leaves

In between General Conference sessions, we drove up Trapper's Loop and into Snow Basin area to have a picnic and look at the fall leaves.  It was beautiful!
