The BEST Weekend EVER!!!

We had such a fun weekend!  It started with Clint getting to come home a couple of hours early on Friday to work from home.  WOOHOO!  Even if he still has to work on his computer it was nice to have him working in the living room while I put the final touches on Liam's Halloween costume.  I bet you can guess what he wanted to be ;o) (or rather, what I wanted him to be).

Saturday was spent in Glacier National Park.  The fall colors there are GORGEOUS!  It was wet and rainy when we left, but it actually turned out to be a beautiful day.  Now that most of the "out-of-staters" have gone to their prospective homes it was really low key in the park (this summer was CRAZY).  We went down to Lake McDonald and were able to let Lindi roam.  We also took some fun family pictures.  Then, we went out to eat in Kalispell...no cooking...YES PLEASE!  

THEN, today, we decided to go to the pumpkin patch with one of Clint's co-workers and his family.  It was busy, but Liam sure had fun. He LOVES being outside which is really fun for us.  Here's some pictures from the weekend.  Some of them aren't great...I'm venturing off of "auto" on my camera...there have been some FAILS (on pictures that I really wanted to look GOOD)!

Fun Friday

You guessed it...MR. OWL!!!

Look at those feet!  

Thank you Erin and Jamie for getting Liam this sweet hat that can be used for everyday AND for Halloween!

I just got a REMOTE for our camera...best $7 I've spent in my LIFE!  Thanks Mandy for the tip!


Love Liam's face here


The water is so low compared to when we were there this summer.

Sweet Pickin's Pumpkin Patch



Chloe and Liam love each other 

There was a mini petting zoo at the patch...

Our pumpkin of choice

All Liam cared about was playing with...aka...eating the wood chips


Look at that smile!

This was the last photo of the day...good thing I tried to get just one more!

Plumb Picking

Remember all those plumbs I was telling you about...well here's the 46 lbs. I was talking about!

Liam really likes being outside in his stroller 

And of course he had to pick a few too




Getting ready to make some spiced plumb jam...which turned out to be a fail...which I was able to FIX!  THANK YOU GOOGLE!

All the pits...MESSY!

What a grin!

Grandpa Jim went for a motorcycle ride and stopped in for a visit.

I think he pretty much just wanted to see Baby Fin... :o)

Labor Day Weekend



Our friends Dan, Elizabeth, and their daughter, Caroline came for a visit for the long Labor Day weekend.  We had some much fun with them while they were here!  They made the long trek from Port Orchard.  

Down at the lake



Liam is enthralled with Elizabeth here




One of many beautiful sunsets


Caroline in her floatie...she was LOVING the water.  Her lips were turning blue so we had to get her warmed up and the only thing she could think about was getting back into the water.


Dan and Liam


This Picture is too precious :o)

And this one too!

Caroline and Lindi...what a pair

The boys
