curiosity with the lunds

such a fun thursday hanging out with these cute people. i met megan when she came back from maternity leave from dean's pregnancy, and she's been my best friend at work ever since! though it was a bit stressful with all the uea break kids running around, this trip convinced me that we NEED a thanksgiving point pass! scarlett loved the water, and amelia loved everything else; we're excited for more opportunities to play!

pumpkin patches

 (pretty much how i spend my whole life)

 (dad came up with the olaf-pumpkin idea)

 (i told amelia to point to her pumpkins, and this is what she came up with)

 (oh it's hard to share...)

 (too short)

 (chewing gum, waiting with her hayride tickets)

we've kinda made a tradition of heading to pumpkin patches all of october-- we love them! scarlett started yelling "HAYRIDE!!" whenever we would drive past patches. it's not even about finding the perfect pumpkin (even though i did find one with the perfect stem), but the memories we make on the farms! i feel infinite when i'm sitting with my whole family on a hayride. hashtag: life is good. i'll let you in on a secret (you know, with all my vast knowledge of pumpkin patches): the best patch is pumpkin point farms. i love it because they sell pumpkins by size, not weight, they have tractors, an awesome corn maze, and tiny wheel-barrels for tiny kiddos, and *free hayrides! you're welcome.

 ("which shoe do you think i should get babe?"

haaaaaaaaahahaha jk, it was "are you seriously taking a picture of me right now?")

 (toilet games reminded us of my father-in-law)

we went away to park city for a little getaway for our sixth anniversary. my sweet and generous parents stay with and loved the girls and took them to my dad's work party, amelia's soccer game, etc. so grateful for how much they love us. jer and i had a couple things on our list to do, but ended up tossing the list. we arrived at newpark hotel rather late on friday night and starving. on saturday, we shopped, napped, shopped, had dinner, and went to see "girl on the train." i got great deals on clothes for the girls and a couple of shirts for myself; jer got a nice new coat and new shoes (he works so hard and spends so little). it was so blissful sleeping to my heart's content (though my body wasn't use to sleeping all night, so naps), eating out and not cooking or worrying about feeding children, and mostly spending time with my love.

i love jeremy so much. our marriage isn't perfect, but it has been so incredible growing with him. i can't believe it's only been six years.

ps. anyone else don't know about the rule change for initiatories? like changed months ago? no, just us? okay, i'll blame our lack of temple attendance on my babies, though i know it's a lame excuse.
