The Spooner Farms Pumpkin Patch

Here are my favorite pictures from our yearly Spooner Farm Pumpkin Patch excursion. Ken and Olivia missed it, Olivia was taking a nap while Ken took one too, he has been sick the last few days and was not fit to spend the day out in the rain. Although we missed him, staying home helped him feel a little bit better.


Here Tabatha and Alicia brave the large purple spider and her many pumpkin babies.

We went through the corn maze again this year.  The theme was "Honey, I shrunk the farm" and here you can see how large the chair had become once we were small.  Luckily we found all the clues to fix the machine and came out our normal sizes again.  Alicia still talks about the really large underwear on the clothesline though.  Sorry, I didn't take a picture of that one :)

Here Alicia and Isaac are racing to see who is the fastest.

Sleeping in the Frog!



I love my new camera.  This is Olivia sleeping at 10:30 at night.  Her room was pitch black, but with my camera on the night mode, it looks like it is in the middle of the day.  Olivia has decided to sleep in her frog.  She will go to her room by herself just to take a nap in her frog when she is tired.  She doesn't always take a nap, but when she does she is sleeping here in the "og" as she calls it.  Isn't she adorable?  We move her at night to her bed because we worry about her neck, but usually we just let her sleep away.  Goodnight sweet princess.

Last Days of Summer

At the end of the summer, when fall is about to begin, September 22 brought us 92 degree weather and another day to lounge by the pool.
Olivia with her beautiful blue eyes did not want to leave after two hours straight of swimming.

It may be hard to tell, but she is above the pool in the middle of a jump right here. With her life jacket on she is invincible.


One last shot of Olivia jumping into the pool, off the diving board. I love to watch them swim, and I did get in for a lot of it, but thought some pictures to capture the moment would be nice too.

Tabatha was in school, so she missed out. Alicia and Olivia on the other hand had a blast with their friends from our ward at a members outdoor pool.
