i love this age....so sweet.

We had a fun weekend filled with pumpkins and mud and lots of friends. Lincoln and I went to the pumpkin patch with his pre-school class on friday. We rode on a hay ride and pet farm animals and stepped in lots of mud....and picked a pumpkin. Ian stayed with a girl in the ward and had a lovely time playing.

then friday night our friends from fort wayne came to visit...we had such a fun time. I think i saw olivia 2 times this weekend. She was so busy with her little friends hunting for wooly bear caterpillars and playing in the mud and riding bikes and on and on...it was so nice for her. And of course lincoln and his little friend played like crazy as well. The guys did guy stuff, ya know...building motorcycles, playing in the garage and beating us at cards. And I got some much needed girl time to just hang out and talk to my dear friend. so nice of them to come.

                       saturday fun.

 I just can't get over this amazing fall weather...we have had no rain, sunny skies and 75-80 degree weather for days and days....im not going to be able to say goodbye to this! here are the kids playing after school today.... And classic ian always going for a walk down the sidewalk.(minus the actual walking part)

five things that make me happy....no particular order

1..it's like fall in the movies. This weather is so amazing and the trees are so bright and lovely. I went for a bike ride the other day and the path was lined with wild flowers and the sun was shining and the leaves were   crunching...so beautiful.
2. I saw olivia riding her bike home from the park...she was struggling so hard and wobbling down the road working so hard to keep lincoln (who was also on the bike) and her going...so sweet.
3. Finding the nicest cutest moccasins in olivias size at the thrift shop for one dollar....and her loving them. She wears them to school everyday and looks so sweet.
4. Ian...oh that sweet lumpy baby.
5. I got to go fall camping & all day yard sale-ing with jonny....it really doesn't get much better than that.
