Pomegranates = a yummy treat! Oma brought us all back some from Thatcher. They other day she call me and said come by I have a bowl of pomegranates for you (thanks mom for taking them out of the shell for me)!
We have great memories of Grannie and Grandpa Dowdles pomegranate trees. When it was time to pick them all the Aunts and Grannie would make pomegranate jelly, yummy. Grannie would even make homemade bread to put it on, delicious (I am now craving it). Fun memories!
Friday, Oct. 23 Cole didn't quite make it to school. He threw-up several times in the car on the way to school. We obviously cleaned him up the best we could turned around and came home. He didn't have a fever (diarrhea came), but other than that he played like normal and asked to eat like normal. About every 4-5 hours he would puck and then be fine again lasted 24 hours and it was over, thank goodness! He spent a good part of the morning playing play dough. He loves it...he will even get it out on his own and play all by himself (finally). He loves to get out his animals and make paw prints. 
Cousins are so much fun...Megan and Kaelen Lavold came to spend the night with us. Erik's Aunt Emogene passed away and the funeral was in Snowflake, Arizona on Friday Oct. 16. Erik couldn't get the time off, so we weren't going to be able to go. We thought what could we do to help someone else go? Tina (Erik's sister) wanted to go super bad and was hoping to go with us. When we couldn't go we volunteered to keep some of Liz's kiddos (Erik's other sister), so they would have room for Tina.
Carly was in hog heaven to have some of her cousins come and play. They had such a good time. The Lavold girls even brought some wood crafts to paint...fun! We rode bikes and scooters to the park, ordered PIZZA, watched a movie, ate popcorn and candy (shhhh don't tell their mom), and played a fun scavenger hunt game. 
Carly was so happy to have them over (they did crafts at 6:30am)! Wants to know when she can have cousins over again?! 
Every year as the weather cools off and we start to open our windows welcoming FALL our darn fire alarms go off! One starts and within seconds all 12 are going off. Waking the dead (Erik) as he had just fallen off to sleep and scaring Cole to tears. What a horrific sound. Off to Wal-mart I go to spend $10 a pack buying batteries, ouch! Erik swears by Energizer by the way (he has proven they last twice as long in his pump he wears). Awe...good for another YEAR!
My bOyS loooooove popcorn! Cole will finish his breakfast and ask for popcorn at 7am.
Cole's preschool LIFE had a field trip to Schneif Farms. Adults $5 and children $6 what a smoken deal Carly, Cole and I had a great time.
Carousel rides...fun!
Carly loves to be on the go and join any outing!
They had a maze where the kids rode these bikes around. 
They climbed through this really creative wooden train.
We each got to pick a pumpkin...Cole wasn't sure which one to choose!
Carly, how does this one look?
We rode on the roller coaster...I just knew we were going to fall. It was really scary to me...Cole hated it!
The swings...Cole could have ridden these a million times! 
Wow...airplanes, who needs Disneyland???
