Pumpkin Patch and Fall Leaves




It is beautiful around Spokane and fall is one of my favorite times. The kids love playing in the leaves and being outside. We just have to dress a little bit warmer. We also had a wonderful time at Green bluff last weekend with the Carney family. We had to backtrack several times in the corn maze (notice I said backtrack instead of saying we got lost) and we picked some great pumpkins in the pumpkin patch. Abigail's favorite part was riding in the wagon and Andrew gave his typical answer, "Everything was my favorite!"

Six Crazy Cousins

It always sounds like such a great idea...lets get a picture of all of the cousins together! It's quite the adventure. Today we tried the Heimbiger/Liezen photo shoot at Finch Arboretum. Between 4 cameras and over 100 pictures taken, we managed to get a handful with all 6 kids looking and giving some form of smile. The cousins definitely had a funner time running around the park and playing in the leaves afterwards.


Pumpkin Patch Time






We had a great time at Walter's Fruit Ranch on Wednesday with Andrew's preschool class. It was cold, but beautiful and Andrew picked a nice pumpkin in the pumpkin patch. He also picked a golden delicious apple off the tree, drank fresh apple cider and sampled apple honey.

October News - Happy Fall

It's Fall and we love being outdoors. When we pick Andrew up from preschool, we have to play on the toys at church. And I have to mention that the little blue, flowered overalls that Abigail is wearing used to belong to me. 31 years later and they're still cute! Plus, Abigail thought she was pretty hot stuff swinging on the big swings.






Our family had a couple of house guests this weekend - Emma and Bella, the guinea pigs from Andrew's class came home with us on Friday and will return back to school tomorrow. Andrew was a wonderful care giver, always checking to make sure they were okay and well fed. Bella, the white one in the picture, is very gentle and spent lots of time out of the cage in Andrew's arms.




Just hanging out in the coffee table drawer...



We had a great morning at the Step Out Walk to Fight Diabetes. There were over 100 people on Team Nick Heimbigner. Thank you to all of the family and friends there to help support Nick! It was awesome!
