QUICK TRIP TO SUN VALLEY

Jeff was working in Sun Valley for the week. He ended up having his very own room at the Sun Valley Lodge. So, I took advantage. I packed up the kids and went to Sun Valley for a night. We had a fun time getting away. We got there in time for dinner and to hang out with dad that evening. Then, left the next afternoon back to Twin Falls.

Emily and Jared loved watching the ice skaters on the ice rink behind the lodge.

Katie doddled (sp?) behind us as we came back from dinner. She was enjoying a piece of chocolate and strolling along the path watching the swans and the ducks in the pond on front of the lodge.

She is loving the chocolate. They come to your room every night for a "turn down service" where they prepare your bed for you and leave you chocolate!

Emily made her own bed on the suitcase rack.

Emily and Jared wake up watching PBS the next morning.

FALL AFTER WINTER?

I love fall. Emily and Katie and I visited the pumpkin patch with Emily's class. Here are some pictures...

Emily and Katie in our front yard trying to take a picture, but mommy put them looking right into the sun.

At the pumpkin patch posing for another photo..."C'mon mom! Let's just go in!"

Wagon ride.

"I don't want to take another picture! I'm not even going to look!"

Emily wanted to pull the wagon.

Katie likes the ride.

Emily decides she wants to ride. Or was it, Katie decided she wanted to pull?

SNOW IN OCTOBER?

We had a cold snap in mid October. The kids loved it. We got all excited for winter. They went outside to play in the fresh snow that only lasted the weekend. Then, back in the 70's. That's Idaho for ya! Here's some cute pics of them in the snow.

EMILY TURNS 3

Emily turned 3 years old and chose to have a "Princess Party". Below are pictures (in reverse chronological order) of her special day...

Emily got a play kitchen from mom and dad. She and Katie (and even Jared) play with it and love it.
