"Spud Harvest"

We spent a week at home in Idaho during "spud harvest"

Yes, in Idaho you get a week out of school (back in my day it was almost 2 weeks!)- to help the farmers harvest the potatoes- so my mom was off of work! It is my FAVORITE time of year and little G and I are always in attendance. I love going home in the Fall. We had the BEST time.

I left Griffin for a few days with my parents and went to Park City for a girls weekend. A bunch of our HS friends planned to come, but in the end it was just 4 of us. We still had a blast. I LOVE these girls so much and feel so grateful to have them in my life. Park City was BEAUTIFUL as usual. I love that place.

Lunch with my "Duma"

Griffin is obsessed with all things "Duma"

You might be wondering what a duma is... well somehow its a dump truck, tractor, bulldozer or any combination of big machinery. I don't know where he came up with the word, but he's beyond obsessed. It's the first thing he asks for when he gets up in the morning and we spend most of our days looking for them or watching them work at construction sites.

Sometimes lunch can be hard...but I found when you bring

a Duma in to help you can get it done pretty efficiently ;)

Last Hurrah

Our Disneyland passes expire this month :(. Even though we moved and are farther away now, I'm still sad about it. It was always so much fun to take Griffin up for the day.

I'm sure we'll renew at some point,

but we are going to take a little break for now.

I am glad that we got to go again while it's decorated for Halloween...its my absolute FAVORITE time of year.

We had a GREAT time.

Griffin loved riding the train, Dumbo, Its a Small World and playing in Toon Town... and equally hated Pirates and the Haunted house.

It was a beautiful day, no lines, time with my little family,

and I ended the evening with a big ole' caramel apple.

Doesn't get much better than that.

lately

This little hambone has been having way too much fun lately...

Griffin & Amelia

He loves looking at himself in the mirror

and thinks he's pretty funny

He also loves to wear his cowboy hat while brushing his teeth

Playing at the Kid Museum at Balboa Park with the Adams Fam

Griffin & his girlfriend Penny

(or "Pen" as he calls her- they are too cute!)

Riding the train with Janeen & Christian

I thought this was funny-

He lined all of his cars, trains and tractors up...
