ahh...to have fall for a weekend is better than nothing!

This weekend here in Portland was just beautiful. It's the weather I've been hoping for. We have been having wet, chilly days but the rain dried up and the sun came out to warm us this weekend.



We decided to take advantage of it today and head out to Sauvie's Island to the Pumpkin Patch. We rode the hayride out to the patch and had fun watching Niko climb all over the pumpkins. We also went through the animal barn and saw some cute sheep, pigs and a goat. There were other animals but those were the stars.




We also had some yummy "seasonal" food like ears of corn that you painted butter onto and carmel apples with peanuts. YUMMERS! Unfortunately Jason didn't get his elephant ear that he wanted--the line was crazy long--and I've heard about it a couple times since.


I think Niko enjoyed it--he stayed awake the whole times so that's saying something!


Here are some pictures.

Oh Niko!

Well we have had some fun times and trying times the past couple of weeks. The fun being family fun night--with cooking over the fire, hot tubing and swinging outside for Niko. Here are a few pics:

The not so fun stuff being Niko sick and then me getting sick :( No pictures.

Tonight we had a new development. Niko is pulling him self up to stand. It's pretty amazing.
