Grandma Beazer's House


This past weekend we decided since we were out for fall break for school, the boys and I with Grandma Walker were going to go up to Rigby, Idaho and see Great Grandma Beazer. We had a fun 3 days full with crafts, worksheets, field trips and playing outside. We got to pick apples from the apple tree for the first time and the boy just loved it. They liked picking them and putting them in the box as well as climbing the tree to get some. The would climb a tree with help, find a apple, pick it and the yell for you to come get it. It was fun.


Can you find two little boys?



They loved playing out side.



Kimball began walking down at Grandma's. He would get braver and walk more and more. The only thing is he loves to crawl more than he can wlk now.





These are some of the cute crafts that we made. Brandon loved his jack o lanter that he took it around with him everywhere.



The all loved the train. Brandon and Nathan got to help Uncle Syd drive it a little bit. They also got to help walk the track to make sure that it was clear. They thought that they were so big!



This is them giving Uncle Syd hugs and kisses for letting them ride the train. Thanks to our Uncle Syd we can ride the train every time we go down to Idaho. Thank you Uncle Syd!!



Corn Maze


A few weeks back there was a sale on the tickets to the local corn maze. So we packed up the kids and went and had fun. The boys loved it. They had so many other activities besides the corn maze that we barely had time for the maze and did all of the other activities. Once we did get into the corn maze we decided that we no longer wanted to do it and turned around 15 minutes into it. But while in the maze we were able to see an elk that was taking a nap in there. The boys had a great time!

They had this awesome dome trampoline thing. I loved it as much as the kids did. It was fun to bounce with the boys in my arms.

Brandon and Nathan smiling in a large wooden train. They love trains.


They had these pedal race cars that you could pedal around. It looked fun but it was hard for them to pedal. And then you had to deal with all the other kids not moving as well.


They had this huge jungle gym thing with a net and slides. Kimball had a great time trying to climb it.

They had this dinosaur that you could walk through and see his stomach. Brandon was brave enough to go in with Dad but Nathan didn't want anything to do with it. Travis told me that he had to carry Brandon most of the way.

Cute roping stand. I think I was the only one to coil the rope when we left. Old habits die hard.

We took a hay ride. The boys loved it except for Kimball who wanted to crawl arond but couldn't.


In the maze we were able to find someone to take our picture. The boys had a good time. Brandon wanted to pick all of the corn.

They had these cute swings made out of tires into the shape of a horse. It looked really cool. I wonder if Grandpa Longan could make us some.

The boys loved this and would have played longer if we would have left them. They would pump water back and forth, but they had some ducks on them that they took turns pumping them back and forth.

Jesus wants us to share...

Somewhere either from home or primary, Nathan has learned a new thing. Jesus wants us to share. I found this out when I was drinking a soda and Nathan wanted a drink. I told him no but I could get him some milk, he promptly told me, that Jesus wants everyone to share. I cracked up laughing and gave in and gave him a drink of my soda. Another day came along and he was not sharing with Kimball. I looked him in the eye (well as long as he would look at me) and told him that Jesus wants us to share. He stopped what he was doing and went straight to Kimball and shared with him. Now in our home he is contstantly reminding us that Jesus wants us to share. It just so happens that he does it mostly when he wants whatever you have.

Father like Son

Kimball LOVES the computer. He can reach up to the desk and grab the mouse and move it around. We have given him his own keyboard and mouse that he can play with so that he can play while mom or dad is. The other day he woke up from a nap and I let him play with Dad's computer. He went to town and was very serious about how he had to compute. He was in 7th heaven!

"A" Team

I have a bunch of Mom friends that all have at least one child with Autism. We call ourselves the "A" Team. We like to get together every couple of weeks and go out to eat or see a movie. We even like to get together and have a sleepover! It is nice that we all have each other to cry on each other's shoulder, vent, compare notes on our children and to relax together.
