Fall Festival!

On Saturday we decided to venture out to Young Living Family Farms (in Mona) and went to their annual Fall Festival. We had never gone but after receiving a flyer in the mail promising pony rides we jumped at the opportunity, especially after the kids had so much fun the last time they went on a pony ride. I am so glad we decided to go because the kids had a blast! Not only did they enjoy the pony ride (well at least Abby, Liam decided he didn't want to go after all), but they had fun with the bounce house, getting their faces painted, a fairy tea party, and watching a jousting competition. It really was a great little get-away for our family and I am happy we went.

My Soccer Star!

This year marked the first year that Abby was able to take soccer lessons. While she started off not enjoying it as much as I would like (she did get kicked in the head by a soccer ball on her first day), by the end of her season she was having a blast!

Matt and I have always loved playing soccer so it was so much  fun being able to watch her enjoy it as well. We are so proud of Abby for giving it her all and having fun. She did a great job!!

My Little Preschooler!

 

Today is Abby's first day of (her second year of) preschool. I can't believe how fast my baby girl is growing up. Next year she will be in kindergarten which just seems crazy to me. I still remember holding her for the first time at the hospital and feeling completely overwhelmed and completely at peace all at the same time. Abby is such an amazing and smart little girl. She is a great big sister and will do anything for her little brother. I just love my Abby girl so much and I am so proud of her. I can't imagine my life without this sweet and sassy little four (and a half...as she would correct me) year old. I love you Abby Ruth!

While Abby was at preschool Liam and I were able to hang out which is awesome! He LOVES trains so we played with his train set to pass the time. I sure do love this little guy. He truly adds something to our family that no one else could add. He is silly and funny and caring and sweet. I sure love my little Liam Gray!

Labor Day!

Yesterday was Labor Day and we had so much fun as a family! Labor Day is always fun for us in Payson because it is our Onion Days Celebration. We watched a parade and went to the carnival, both thoroughly enjoyed by the kids. We didn't take as many photos this year as we have in the past but the few we did take were of the kids enjoying the carnival.

These Kids Sure Love Pony's!

On our way to run a few errands we noticed a sign outside a country store that read, "Free Pony Rides!" Matt and I didn't know for sure if the kids would want to ride a pony so we asked them and they both said, "YES!" so on our way back home we stopped by the free pony rides and the kids loved it! They were both in heaven!
