Happy Harvesting!

So, we went to the "puckinpach" (yes...all one word) last week. Taylor LOVED it! Taylor had a blast in the petting zoo, rode her very own elephant and train rides, and even rode her very first pony. Cooper loved walking around the BIG pumpkins. It was quite a trip! At the end, Taylor picked out the perfect "puckinpach" (which is what she now calls all pumpkins)!
















Fall trip to Lake Tahoe




We were very fortunate to be able to slip away after Scott's crazy month away and Cooper's birthday party. On Sunday morning (after the party), we drove up to Lake Tahoe with the family. We met Lindsey and the Hustead gang up there for the week. The girls had so much fun together (although I'm sure Taylor wore on Maya's nerves after a few days of wanting to do EVERYTHING she was doing). Poor Cooper had 100-102 degree temperature for the first few days, and wasn't much fun for Teagen (or Mommy & Daddy through the night). But they did get to play toward the end of the week! Even though it was a long drive, it was fun to spend time with Scott and the kids. We even got a date night while Chad and Lindsey watched all the kids at the house. It was quite a treat!



Daddy taught Taylor to fish for the first time!


Cooper's first breakfast in bed (a family tradition).
His favorite, waffles! Poor Cooper...not feeling great on his birthday...had a little help with the candle on his cake!


Cooper couldn't quite make it through his birthday day!


Daddy and Taylor checking out the view from the deck.

Taylor had to do her "homework" every day, just like Maya!





Eating again?!!




Our day at Sqwa Valley (a little windy)!

A beautiful day on the lake!


But NOT such a calm LONG ride back! Thankfully the kids were asleep!


Wish we were still there!
