Fall is upon us -

Wow, this going to be a post covering the last several weeks... I cant believe I have gone so long without popping in- and... most of these pictures are not in order although are at least organized so they fall into the same activity - does that make sense? Anyway we are adjusting well to the new arrival of the 4th member of our little family. Although Millicent is almost 6 months(!) We are still learning every day. In September Henry participated in the Primary Program at church for the first time. He was adorable and did quite well. His part was this: "I know that Heavenly Father gave me my family, and I love when my mom dresses me" (He got to choose one thing he loves about his family, and uh... guess he likes that I get him dressed...which coincidentally I dont get him dressed anymore.. He pretty much does that on his own.) Anyway, he did very well and I am very proud of him. 
Within weeks of the program Henry gave his first talk in primary- With just a little bit of my help he wrote the whole thing. (wrote..said....whatever :))
Here it is:
  I know that Heavenly Father gives us families so that we can be happy. Families are good examples for us and help us to remember to be like Jesus. I am glad that we can read about families in the scriptures. I know that their stories can help me learn how to strengthen my family and be a good example.
Adam and Eve were good parents. We know that they taught their children about Heavenly Father.
Nephi was a good example to his brothers. He always listened to Heavenly Father even when it was really hard. Nephi went back to get the plates from Laban, who wanted to kill him, but Heavenly Father Helped Nephi, and made it so that Nephi could get the plates.
My cousin Finnley is a good example to me because he never fights with me when we play. He helps me remember the Heavenly Father doesn’t like us to fight with each other.
I am trying to be a good example to my little sister by being obedient and listen to my parents. Heavenly Father wants children to listen to and obey their parents.
 I know that by being helpful and obedient my I can help my family to be closer to Heavenly Father.
 In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Here are some of the fun Fall activities we've been enjoying:

Gardner Village Witch Hunt with Henry's best preschool friend, Arleigh - They are so sweet together, and we had so much fun!






Pumpkin patch field trip for preschool



Henry laid, organized and paired up all his outfits for the week this day. You can see them, but later he even added socks. Wow.


LIBERTY PARK - FARMERS MARKET
I LOVE the farmers market downtown and Saturday was the last day for the season so we made our way downtown and had a wonderful morning. We wandered the market, and visited Caputo's Market for the first time, and then went to lunch at Rio Grande Cafe and enjoyed some really yummy Mexican. It was such a nice day. The weather was incredible and it was so nice to be together.




Both Henry and Millicent LOVE Grandma Snow's cat, Spots

Henry tuckers out almost every day on the way to mommy's school where we switch off and Daddy picks em up. Its the perfect cat nap.

SILVER LAKE
We enjoyed a beautiful drive one Sunday up to Silver lake. It was a little spontaneous and we didnt plan on getting out of the car, but we did, hence the lack of warm clothing. It was so peaceful though, and we captured some sweet moments.

CUTTING DOWN TREES
Grandma Snow needed help cutting down 3 trees in the backyard before it got too cold. Henry LOVES to help and work in the yard. 



GENERAL CONFERENCE 
Not Henry's FAVORITE thing in the world but he did really well... It was sweet to watch him take bits and pieces in.
