Pumpkin Patch

This is almost cute. Not sure what is up with my awkward arm placement and Griff still isn't sure what to think

This cow mooed at him and he burst into tears

Camping Kolob Reservoir

We finally got the pop-up tent trailer fully functional and took it out for the weekend. I'd never been to Kolob Reservoir so we went there. It was beautiful! It got cold at night but we had a heater in the camper and a campfire. There's just nothing better than a campfire, hot chocolate and s'mores (made with reeses peanut butter cups instead of hershey bars) before bed and honey butter covered scones and breakfast sandwiches in the morning. Griff was a champ and slept through most of the night. He got up around 6am still tired but unable to sleep in his pack 'n play any longer. He joined us on the bed and snuggled in. He rarely snuggles. He started with Brandon, rolled between us for a while, then ended up on my other side. He was a bit restless, but overall slept great. He didn't really get up until almost 9am which is some kind of record. He's not usually a big fan of eggs but he devoured our breakfast sandwiches and loved eating his scones dipped in dirt. On Saturday, Brandon's family came up for the day. I didn't get any pics but we went 4-wheeling and hung out, enjoying the much anticipated crisp, Fall air.

I woke up briefly and had to get a pic with Griff between us

Some pics from the month

He'd sometimes rather push the stroller than ride in it

Not feeling so good

Griff loves Simba

Reading time

Ready to go camping

We've been taking walks every morning

Sunrise

Cool clouds on a stormy day

more storm clouds

Checking out the rain

Figuring out how to move the rock so he can get out of the gate

Love this t-shirt

Woke up one Saturday morning to find this. My cute boys asleep on the couch

Found him on the couch just like this

Hanging out with cousin Sawyer

He brought me his left red shoe to put on him. A few minutes later he went to my closet and brought me my left red shoe to put on. We were twinners for a few minutes

Got these from a random zucchini plant on the side of the road. Seeds must have blown over from the nearby farm

Morning walk. It really is pretty here

Griff always wants to snuggle the big bear at Costco. He tried to get the bear out of the bin by himself when we walked by

Tripped on the sidewalk. Bump on the head. The blood on his cheek is actually from his cut finger

Griff's second first birthday party

Since we were in Colorado for Griffin's first birthday, we threw him a second party in Washington with the St. George crew. Being October, it's the finest time to be outside so we headed to a neighborhood park for lunch and cake.

He got his own little car

                                                                               Loves it and all it's noises                                                                                           (btw, this Lightning McQueen car is rude. It says rude phrases. Well, just one, but it's not my favorite)

Sawyer helping open the gift her family and Grandma, Grandpa gave him

One cousin's toy becomes all the cousins' toy. Griff happy to share as long as he can keep playing

Prepping for the cake
