October Activites

Well, I was inspired by today's Primary lesson. Instead of taking my usual Sunday afternoon nap I am posting some cute pictures of the kids. The past few week we went to the Denver Botanical Gardens, picked raspberries, and played at the Fall Fest at Anderson Farms. We have had amazingly warm weather for the first few weeks of October. Happy Fall!

The barrel ride at Anderson Farms. The kids loved it, except for Ashley who loved it until the last minute when we went over some pretty big bumps. She cried until we stopped. Caleb, however, was quite a champ.
Ashley learning how to milk a cow at Anderson Farms.
Abby, Amber, Josh, and Alex in the corn maze. It was hard to keep up with them and enforce the rule that they needed to stop at every intersection so we all knew which direction to go. We could have spent hours in there...and we could have gotten lost in the 5 miles of trails.
Hmm...why don't they ever lick their bowls like this when it isn't dessert? Check out that lower lip!


She learned it from her brother.
Amber and Ashley doing their morning chore: the dishwasher. They always dress up for the task and listen to music. Today Ashley also decided to wear her moose backpack.

Sweet Ashley holding her little brother.
What a grin!

Alex milking the cow. He really liked it. Perhaps we have a dairy farmer in the making.
See the chocolate on the nose? Left over from drinking every last bit from his bowl.


Mom! Take a picture of me, too!
Me three!
Caleb loves eating now. Tonight he had sweet potato.
Hmm...what is that on your face Ashley? Were you out picking raspberries???

Caleb in his usual spot...riding in the stroller.
Mom, don't I look great in red?
What wonderful sisters!
Dad and Amber at the dinner table. She's her daddy's girl. They both are slow eaters!
Giggles!
Amber just loves getting her picture taken in front of yellow flowers.
Stopping for a snack while hiking at the botanical gardens.
Ashley finally learned how to ride a tricycle this month. It has been very exciting. Ash and Mom usually take a ride/walk down to the mail box every afternoon.
What kind of face is that?
And we were worried about getting enough pictures of this boy smiling...
Amber out riding her new bike that Dad got her for her birthday. Now she had no problem keeping up with Alex.
Brothers! Cute tongue, Caleb.
Don't laugh with your mouth full.

Amber girl!
