A Day at the Farm

Yesterday we had so much fun as a family. In Washington Fields they have the Stahelin Family Farm. During October this family makes their farm into fun for everyone. They have a corn maze, field of screams (haunted thing) Yummy food, farm playground, petting zoo, and a pumpkin patch. We didn't get to do the corn maze and the field of screams because we were with Mason, but we still had so much fun! Mason loved playing in the hay at the playground. Then we took him to the petting zoo. They had llamas, miniature horse, big horses, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, roosters, ducks, little piggy's, and a huge pot bellied pig! Mason loved the little pigs cause they were oinking and kept touching mason's fingers with their snouts. (Gross right, but Mason kept trying to put his fingers up every animals nostrils?!) He was also so funny with the chickens, and they were big chickens. They were just running out and about everyone and some of them were as big as Mason. I was kind of nervous cause one could have easily taken him down. After the petting zoo we got to ride a tractor out to the pumpkin patch to find a pumpkin. We found a perfect one but they were $7 there so we decided to get one at Walmart for $2.50. Check out our fun pictures from the farm!!

It's a rainy day in sunny St. George

So today we woke up and it was pouring outside, and this weekend was actually the ST. George Marathon. Everyone who traveled to run in this marathon ran in heavy rain all morning. I guess its like the second time in history it has ever rained on the day of the marathon. It's also conference weekend and so we have really enjoyed opening all our windows and feeling cool air and smelling the rain while we relaxed watching conference. Well during the break in the sessions we decided to go up to pioneer park and hike around the rocks for fun. It was nice to enjoy the outdoors without it being too hot, we even needed jackets. Anyways here are some pictures.

Parker's Birthday!!

Parker just turned 20 last Saturday! Kellie and Dan came down and we had so much fun. The boyz went golfing earlier that day while the girls went shopping. Later we went out to dinner with them and Kasey, Meridee, and Jackson. We went to Red Lobster for endless shrimp. We came back to our place and just hung out and had cake and icecream. Kellie and Dan got him a total gag gift! The guys played football and poker and my man beat everyone in both!!

Mason's First Birthday!!

On Mason's first birthday is was just the family but we still had so much fun. We went swimming, to dinner, and had fun with cake and presents! He is getting so big and I cant believe he is already a year old. We love him so much!

We are Here!

So, we have now been in St. George for almost 2 weeks and I still haven't posted it yet. I have been putting it off because I was hoping my camera cord for the computer would have appeared to me by now but turns out I left it at home. I will be getting it next week so soon there will be pictures up of our new home. About our new home, WE LOVE IT! I think we will stay here till Parker gets done with school. Which is crazy to think because that will be in five or six years meaning Mason will be 6! Our place is so nice, we have 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and a 2 car garage! We have a fairly big backyard which is such a waste because there is no grass, but at least our front lawn is grass. There is so much stuff so close to us. We have a pool here, and there are two really nice and fun parks close by, bike and walking paths all over, a fishing pond is across the street, and we are fairly close to the lake. We haven't taken advantage of any of those yet but hey we just got here. There is somewhat of a downfall at our place. We have had 7 crickets in our house that chirp all night, like 5 cockroaches and those are fast, and then we even had a lizard in our bathroom! Parker doesn't mind them but I always scream when I see anything. Well We love it here but we do miss all our family and friends. Feel free to come anytime Please!!

Moving Time!

So we are moving this week to our new home in St. George! We are excited and scared all rolled into one. I am excited to start a new chapter in our lives and to go to school. I am not too excited about the heat down there but at least we have a pool to go cool off in! We will still be blogging and letting you all know how we are doing! We love you all.... wish us luck!
