Fun at the Fall Festival...

This weekend our neighborhood had a fall festival. We had so much fun. Ty was studying so a friend and I went with the kids. They had a pumpkin patch, face painting, and an awesome ballon guy. They also had music, games, awesome food, and we had a BLAST. I entered the family-favorite pumpkin roll-up into the pumpkin cook-off and took first place. I won a digital camera. YEAH!!

They picked their pumpkin and decorated them themselves.

T got spider-crazy with the paint and balloons. He thought they were the coolest. We are still tending the spider trying to prolong its life.

P exploring a hula-hoop.

T's hilarious hula-hooping. We just love that kid.

Carvin' Up Pumpkins...

Phoenix and Fun!

Mom & P, on an adventure at "Cooperstown".

The fam!!!

P at the Suns game, after the SECOND overtime.

So the last few weeks have flown by. We have been working a little bit, but mostly just having fun. I have started working and it is crazy to say the least and Ty is just finishing up with his semester on Monday. This last weekend the fam went to Phoenix for Ty's dad's b-day, we had a lot of fun. While we were there we hung out with the fam and even got to go to a Phoenix Suns basketball game. It was awesome and we all had so much fun! The funny thing was when we were trying to find something for dinner before the game. We found this really fun-looking place called Cooperstown, it looked like a baseball restaurant. We went in and it turned out to be kind of sports bar place named after Alice Cooper (the little on the crazy side singer), all the waiters were dressed in black with the black tears painted on their faces. I am sure everyone was looking at us like who brings their kids to this place. The answer? Us. We stayed probably because we were a little freaked out for our lives but it turned out to be really good food and fun too. We are back at the ranch and are trying to finish up things here. The other day I went to work and left Ty home with the kids. Apparently they got bored and took a sawsall to my kitchen bar and then pieced the countertop back together. It was supposed to be a suprise, oh I was SUPRISED! The boys are doing great. P is practicing up on his walking and T just loves to play. At his friends house today they were playing "homework" in the backyard. Tayson said his homework was "learning about the body" and his friend was "learning about a skeleton". Only the kid of a PA student...

T is P's biggest fan, he walks him all over the house and then "gently" helps him to the floor when I am not looking. We are a work in progress. We call P Frankenstein after his walk.

P Walks!!

So Baby P is walking now! He takes a good 10 or 15 steps before reverting back to the ease of crawling but considering he is such a heavy-weight me and Ty are pretty excited about no longer having to carry him everywhere. We just love our little chubby bub!

Ty's White Coat Ceremony!...

tyler and his buddy, ricky, men in uniform!!!

the fam!

Ty is well into school now, his first semester is almost over. He is doing really well, he works his tail off studying until all hours of the night and waking before dawn to hit the books. This weekend was the White Coat Ceremony. Ty was a babe in his white coat and I must say he struts his stuff pretty well. We are all so proud of him!!

the new place...

we love our new house... inside pics to come... look at that lovely rock garden... don't worry we are going to have fake grass in the side yard... eventually.

We're Down Here!

Well we are no longer life-long Idahoans!!! September 18th we loaded our stuff into the UHaul and made our way to our new home... We made the trip in two days in order to maintain sanity on both the boys' behalf and my own. It wasn't too bad, Mom and Dad M came down and we had a fun time. The boys love their new house. T loves exploring and P just likes climbing on everything in sight. We have met some fun folks down here but for the most part are growing accustomed to not knowing anyone. We play at the park and in the pool by our house and are continuing to work to put our new place together. Well, back to work. We miss everyone back in Poky (and Blft, for all you Bingham Babes) and will be back to visit very soon. Love ya!!!
