Our Lil Punkins

Greenbluff

...October Festival...

We had fun with our little family going to greenbluff farms. There was live music, games, crafts, good food, hay rides, ponies, and we got to go pick out our own little "family" of pumpkins right from the pumpkin patch.

Here is a cute pic of Cade listening to Daddy's ipod on the way there:

Cade and Jon in the pumpkin patch:

Jay and his little pumpkin with Brynne:

We also waited in line for 40 minutes to get our fresh, home-made PUMPKIN DOUGHNUTS!

They were worth the wait, as you can see on Cade's face...

It was a VERY chilly day, but we love the FALL!

Hair Pro

Brynne's brother, A.J. is in cosmetology school at Toni n Guy.

She got to be his model for his freshman test-out.
It was a "club" themed style. He did an amazing job picking out all of her hair, makeup and jewelry and styling, and she had fun walking the cat walk! It was quite the party! DJ and everything!

Way to go A.J.! You are gonna be the best Hair Pro ever!!

Cade's First Trip to the Dentist!

Thanks to Aunt Cassie giving us the book, 'Going to the Dentist'

Cade was ready for, and LOVED, his first time in the BIG chair!

Aunt Angie cleaned his teeth,

He got to watch a dog movie about brushing and flossing,

and then got to see his Papa (Dr. Gatten) who checked him! He did great.

The best part was his new toothbrush and prize!

Go CADE!

(It did make mommy miss her old job, though. :( )

The big 35...

35=halfway to 70!

(I'm just sayin'...)

The day started out with his favorite breakfast,

then after work he rocked a league bball game,
then we ended the day stuffing ourselves with Nate's New York Pizza. He LOVES it there! We opened presents...

And had cake!
mmmm....Jay likes it!Thanks Zack, Lizzie, Austin and Brook for joining us!

WE LOVE YOU JONNY BABY!!!

Am I drooling?

KEITH URBAN

& Little Big Town

My girl, Angie and I had a night out to watch one of the best performers ever!

We marched our cowgirl boots to D'Lish's Burgers to start the night, then headed to the show at the Spokane Arena. Huge. Packed.

(Just a sidenote, I took a billion pics and videos, but I narrowed it down to what still seems like a lot!)

Here we are making love to his cardboard cutout before the concert. :)

below: Little Big Town opened. They are AMAZING. Lots of harmonics.

Then when this part of the show started our hearts melted. He is an amazing, amazing performer. SO smiley and into what he is doing. One thing I underestimated wad his guitar skills! He is his own lead guitarist and writes most of his music. The guy was breathtaking with his instrument. (In that I mean his guitar. :)

Many times he marched through the crowds while performing. He was a total crowd pleaser!
He also was such a good guy. Took a moment to thank us all for whatever it took to be there in this economy. Also, stopped to think of his wife (Nicole Kidman) and dedicate a song to her. :) What a STUD!! It was a GREAT show!!

(Another sidenote...I love a lot of other songs more, but I chose this video b/c it shows how cute he is when he sings. And this was even toward the end when he was tired.)

p.s. You guys know I am still Jon's no. 1 fan. :)

"That's a little bigger than a deer." -Jon

Jon went bow hunting this week with Brynne's dad, Steve and bro-in-law Tyler Morton.

Steve proved, once again, that they just aren't up to his level, yet...and put them to work ;). It was Jon's first time getting in on an elk kill.

Congrats, Old Man.

Sunday

It's funny how your feelings on rest change from childhood to adulthood... :)

Mommy: K, finish your sandwich, then we are going to take a nap.

Cade: I don't wanna take a nap Mom!

Mommy: Yeah, we need to get our rest. And Sunday is the day of rest. Did you know that?

Cade: Why?

Mommy: Because Heavenly Father gave us one day to rest. But we still take naps other days.

Cade: I want Sunday be tomorrow, Mom!

Another cute thing today; my boys making ME cookies! This might be a first...
