General Conference, OMSI, and the Pumpkin Patch!

Here are some pictures from this past week, including pictures with our much anticipated visitor this past weekend - NATASHA!

We can often find daddy sporting these headphones as he studies.  Sometimes he listens to lectures, sometimes he is listening to The Piano Guys.

Jacob and Claire built a temple. 

Jacob gives General Conference two thumbs up.

I see more basketball in his future.

Notice the computer in the background....



Olivia is a fan of kisses.


Olivia and I are alike - we can't get enough of Daddy's kisses. :)

This is what it looks like when Olivia goes in for a kiss.


Because we went to pick up Natasha at the airport in Portland on Friday (and Jacob also had no school), we couldn't pass up an opportunity hit up our favorite science museum while we were in town.

Jacob took a picture of Olivia and I at Olivia's favorite table in OMSI (an AWESOME science museum in Portland)









Jonathan really surprised me by whisking me away to a bed and breakfast after returning from the airport.  Thanks Natasha for watching our kids!  And thank you Jonathan for a much needed night away!  Happy late birthday to me!

The next morning, I got to complete my long run (10 miles) on a GORGEOUS trail in Corvallis (Midge Cramer trail, for those of you who were wondering.) 


Later in the day, we hit up Davis Family Farm to visit their pumpkin patch.









Jacob was our driver for the hayride!

Olivia decided she would pick this pumpkin (and pick it up) 





Don't worry, we have PLENTY of pictures to come of our fun-filled weekend with Natasha.  We already miss her.
