Color Run...

The Color Run is known as the HAPPIEST 5k on the planet, and it was indeed. The race is less about speed and more about enjoying a color crazy day with your friends and family. Our team name was Color Me Awesome. I ran the race with my good peeps Ann, LoraAnn, and Alli. We had a blast getting splashed with fun bright colors while running. I hope this race returns to Boise each year, super fun.

Farmstead Pumpkin Patch!

Every year during the month of October we go to Linder Farms, but this year we decided to try Farmstead Pumpkin Patch. We went for Family Home Evening, and invited my my dad, mom, Lexie [and kids], Brent, and Kim. We had a blast. We jumped on the gigantic pillow top trampoline, played on the play equipment, went through the corn maze, and gave the scary dinosaur maze a try too. The corn maze was definitely an adventure. It took us FOREVER to finish, BUT we did it. Yeah! The dinosaur maze scared my kids, therefore once was enough. We did not realize upon arrival what time the place closed, so we had no time for other activities. Oh well, maybe next year. All in all everyone had fun together. I LOVE this time of year, so many things to do.

Williamson Farm!

I started canning three years ago, it's definitely a time consuming task BUT the end result is well worth it. Having two kids, apple sauce has been a favorite when it comes to canning. I've always bought my apples from Williamson Farm outside of Marsing, Idaho. And this year was no different, or so I thought. We arrived as a family to get our apples and realized their prices had doubled, therefore we came home empty handed. Next year we will definitely call before making the trip out. Aside from having no luck at Williamson Farm this year we always have fun taking pictures of the kids. We ended up getting our apples from the church farm, and it turned out to be less expensive than what I'm used to paying, yeah.

Take Steps for Crohn's and Colitis

My good friend Tonya for several years has volunteered for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation. This year there was a walk to support raising awareness, and help find a cure. Tonya sent out an invite weeks before, and we of course went to support. We had a great time walking for a good cause with some great friends. The kids had a blast too, especially Kyra sporting her blue boa. Thanks Tonya for a fun afternoon.

Kyra goes to the Movies...

Last night Bryce and I took Kyra to her very first movie in the theater. We've been patiently waiting for Brave to go to the cheap theater. Although it seemed like forever, it was well worth the wait. Kyra LOVED every minute experiencing a movie on the big screen. She loved the popcorn too, yummy! We all had a great time together.
