Elle - 4 months

Some days I still can't believe we have two kids, and we've had two kids for 4 months now! We love being a little family of four and are enjoying the cooler fall weather (even though its still way above normal temps!).

Elle's 4 month stats:

• Loves watching what is going on around her
• Is often more content in the swing or lying on the ground than being held
• Sleeping more solidly through naps and at night
• Filling out her figure :) - we love those cheeks and leg rolls! Delish!

We had a lot of fun visiting lots of different places/events leading up to Halloween. Isn't she just the cutest supergirl!?

Love you baby girl! Happy 4 months!  

Heber Valley Pumpkin Train

Jayne has really been into trains (and all things moving) lately and also loves "pumkims" so when we heard about the Heber Valley pumpkin train we knew we had to take her on it! Her reaction did not disappoint!

When we got there she was sooooo excited to see the trains, and then we got to actually get on it, phew!-I think her heart burst with joy!

She loved looking out the window as we (slowly, they call it the "Heber Creeper" for a reason) chugged along

It was especially fun as some girls dressed like black cats brought around pumpkin cookies to eat while we rode the train. Jayne just kept saying, "bwack cats bring da cookies!" and then she danced with them too. She loved every minute of it.

Afterward we were able to wander around the station and see the other trains and they gave us little pumpkins as well to take home. Jayne was on cloud nine!

It was a perfect fall/Halloween activity for our little family. Jayne recounted all the details of the night to us for the next few days and told anyone who would listen about the train ride with "bwack cats!" Success!

Cornbelly's 2015

Cornbelly's has become somewhat of an annual tradition for us. Last year after the season was over we thought we wouldn't get passes this year and we'd try out some other fall festivities elsewhere in Utah. But then when fall came around again we had a change of heart :) Jayne loves pumpkins, tractors, swings etc. and this year's corn maze/entire Cornbelly's theme was minions...so it was a no brainer. So we got season passes again. They were worth EVERY PENNY! Jayne loved  going to "Cornbewweys". We honestly saw a whole new side of Cornbelly's having a toddler with us this year. We visited a lot throughout October and did a lot of things we've usually skipped or didn't even know were there in the past. Here's some of our photos from this season of fun at Cornbelly's.

She loved being able to walk into the huge pile of pumpkins and pick up whichever one she wanted to hold for a bit. Simple pleasures :)

Cutest pumpkins around!

"Mom, I'm drivin da TRACTOR!"

Elle usually slept or just hung out in her capsule/in the stroller each time we went. She's a champ!

They had cute minion characters that the kids got to interact with. Jayne asked to "give them high fives" each time we went. She would just stand and smile as she watched them. She LOVED it!

We loved the fun tire swings that are in the shapes of different animals. Jayne's riding the shark here

On a slide (that she honestly continually went on!) and a horsey swing

Oh my, this photo makes my heart so happy. This is one of the areas we didn't even venture into before this year, the Pumpkin Princess Playland area. They had a cute little tent with dresses hung up that little girls could dress up in to their heart's content. Next door was a little stage as well. Jayne loved choosing dress after dress and then dancing up on stage in her "booful dwesses" It was so cute!

Another favorite was the cow train. We just sat in these blue barrels that were decked out like cows and were towed behind a tractor for a little ride. Jayne asked for the cow train every time we visited and as soon as we got off she'd as "again!?"

We also did the traditional activities that come with our passes like the apple blaster guns, nerf gun wars, hot chocolate, the maze and kettle corn. Plus Jayne loved the giant slide castle, throwing the corn in the milk bottles, the corn pit and the grain train. We had a blast this year!

Ah Cornbelly's, here's to hoping it won't be too long until our next visit!
