Moves like Jagger

Pumpkin Patch

"these don't look like dogs"

"seriously mom, what are these things?"

He just kept trying to play in the water bowls, gross

feeding the goats!

Rachel picked out A LOT of pumpkins

Rachel went on this twice, first she got mommy sick spinning "faster!" then it was daddy's turn....he got the most sick.

Painting my pumpkin the next day

Portland

Scott and I took a little weekend trip (w/out kids) to Portland, Oregon for our five year anniversary!  We had a great time....

Mai Tais at Trader Vics after a long day of travel!

Dinner at Jake's, very cool place, great fish

Saturday morning run along the river and across the bridge

Ran to the farmer's market where they were cutting up a pig

farmer's market

Fried Chicken, bacon, egg, cheese and gravy in between two fresh baked biscuits!  Doesn't sound good but it was!

Scott thought it sounded so gross he didn't order one then ate half of mine

Our next stop was the famous Vodoo Donuts (yes, to eat again)

We had to try some of the crazy donuts 

Thai food, not my favorite but it was supposed to be really good, I can say it was VERY HOT, notice they give you a plate of ice!!

Space Mountain (entrance to a roof top bar)

View from our hike on Sunday

When dad's in charge.....

We look at trucks while getting our car serviced....

then play!

We go to the movies and eat FRUIT LOOPS!

We wear bowls on our head.....

and boxes!

and this is what happens when dad dresses me :(

We love our dad!

Toddling

It's been awhile so this might be a long one....

Bennett is now almost 13 months old and walking!  Rachel is 3 years old and has started preschool!

Bennett is "toddling"  all over the house these days, he took his first couple steps ON his birthday.  I guess this means he is no longer a baby and is now a toddler.

Rachel has been in preschool for four weeks now and is warming up to it.  If her school photos are any indication of how she feels about school well.....

Every morning she tells me "I didn't wanna go to school" which means I DON'T want to go to school. But, as soon as we get there and she sees her friends and teachers I can tell she is happy even though she tries to hide her smile (gotta keep up the illusion of unhappiness about school, DRAMA QUEEN). When I pick her up she says she likes her teachers, friends and has so much fun at school but when I ask if she wants to go back tomorrow it's a very adamant "NO!"  I don't know if I will ever figure this girl out!  :) 

Hopefully she is more excited about Halloween, she is going to be a cowgirl!  We tried her costume on today and she said, "It's tute" (cute).  I agree!

"eeeeee AAAAAA" that's what she says when riding the "horse" cause she thinks it's a donkey 

It can be near impossible to get a picture of these two together but I keep trying....
