Pumpkins

We carved Cole's pumpkin.

Taking out the seeds. Cole was careful not to get anything on his sleeve.

A couple weeks ago we went to the pumpkin patch in Oakley.

We went through a haunted house,

and saw goats.

At first, we were the only ones there.

We went on a hay ride and stopped when the kids spotted the pumpkins they wanted.

The kids even fed the goats a pumpkin.

Next, we went through a straw maze.

and ended with miniature golf.

Brady was a great ball retriever.

Cole's First Day of Kindergarten

Cole's had his first day of kindergarten on August 29th. He was excited to go to school.

He wore his spiderman shirt that turns red in sunlight.We had just moved into our new house a few days earlier. Brady is excited too.Cole is going to Mountain View and has Mrs. Plotts.Walking to the playground to wait for the bell. He goes to the afternoon class which starts at 12:15. He has an ironman backpack.When the bell rings, the kids line up behind their the first letter of their teacher's first name.At the playground, a boy from his pre-school class recognized him. His name is Hyrum and they are in the same class together.Then Cole saw another boy from his school, Josiah - in front of Cole in red. They are not in the same class.We picked Cole up on the first day but he complained and wanted to ride the bus. We found out the bus number and he was riding the bus by the third day of school. He absolutely loves it! What a great start to the school year.We only live three blocks from the school and the bus drops him off at the start of our street, only two houses down.

Lagoon

On August 26th, our good friends Debi & BJ Brown invited us to go to Lagoon with them. We took Cole but left Brady home with grandmas since he is so young and wouldn't really enjoy the rides yet. We will take him when he is a little older.

It was amazing how excited Cole was about riding the rides. He wasn't even scared at all!BJ & Debi's kids, Braxton, Kylie & Brandon rode rides with Cole. They went on all the kid rides and also on any grown-up rides they were tall enough for. They all loved the bumper cars and Cole's favorite ride was the blue roller coaster.BJ's family in the Skyscraper.Our fam.ColeThe kids on the car ride home.
