Jada's preschool went to a local farm for the annual pumpkin patch event. It happened to fall on Columbus Day (a banking holiday), so Shawn was able to accompany us! The kids were so excited! We learned about composting and dug around in it for worms (only in Seattle), met a horse, goat and chicken,
and scared away the crows!!!!
We decided to bless Ethan on General Conference weekend, after the Sunday morning session. It was a wonderful, intimate gathering at my parents house with our family surrounding this sweet baby. I'm so grateful that Ethan has joined our family and that my husband has the priesthood and was able to bless him. 
Jada has been taking dance lessons from Miss Amy and absolutely loves it. She does a great job learning the steps and following directions, but I think that she really just likes the outfits!
I'm not complaining though, because she is actually dancing! When we were doing dance in Michigan, she would just stand frozen in the middle of the room while all the other girls would dance around her. For 8 weeks, she didn't budge! It takes will power to be that stubborn;>
I would know, I was that stubborn as well!
(the excersaucer, not the baby) I was all over it! He loves it and I love the fact that I didn't have to buy one! It really comes in handy when I have to get something done!
Thank you guy down the street!
Ethan prefers to eat his hand rather than any type of food. All he does is spit it all over the place, much to the delight of his brother and sisters!
He has been able to sit up for a while, but he never stays there very long...
He would rather do something like this!
He is such a sweet baby! If only he would eat something and sleep through the night!
