George's 3rd Birthday Party

We had George's birthday party today. He had a bunch of friends over and they all had a blast. We did a scavenger hunt to find shovels and pails and then the kids all went to the garage where we had the trailer full of dirt with dinosaurs and treasures for the kids to dig up and keep. George was so excited to have everyone sing happy birthday to him and he blew each one of his candles out. He got so many great presents and we even held some (sent from family) back for his actual birthday - seriously contemplating saving those for Christmas :-).

Henry on our slide - oh my!

A few days ago it came to my attention that Henry could climb the ladder of our playset. He would wait at the top of the slide for me to come over and then he would slide and let me catch him. He has now figured out how to do it himself - so independent, yikes!

Piano man/men/boys

The boys were entertaining us this evening, it is a bit long but George breaks out in a solo towards the end. He is doing a remix of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and the "ABC" song. Henry is just happy doing backup - for now :-).

Fun at the park

It was a beautiful day today and we hear it is one of only a few left so the boys and I decided to head to the park. Surprisingly we were the only people there but we had fun anyway. Henry, who loves to climb, was enjoying the jungle gym a lot. It is a pretty difficult gym for a parent to maneuver around from the outside so I was grateful that he has such great balance. I believe George was off discovering mud holes during most of this but he does make an appearance.

Video of the pumpkin patch

Drew took all of the video we took from the pumpkin patch and made a video to music - hope you enjoy as much as we do.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch in Kalispell today and had so much fun. They have so many great activities for the kids. Here are just a few of the things we did.....

Emily and George feeding the goat.



Henry talking to the chickens.



Emily and George on the pillow jump. George really catches some air on this - the owner was getting nervous but George was having a blast! :-)



George was hiding really well in the corn maze.

eating and sleeping

We did so much today, beginning with a nice walk down to the lake (and back up) and the beginning stages of winterizing cabins and toys. Needless to say, George was exhausted. We sat down for dinner just before seven. We looked over and George was barely hanging on :-)
