Not long ago we went to a little carnival for David's work.  They had face paining there.  Lincoln had never had his face painted so he was curious what it was all about.  Well, at the carnival he decided that he wanted a spider web painted on his face.  He loved his spider web and he didn't want it to wash off.  Unfortunately, the web came off in the tub. 

The next day, Lincoln told me that he wanted his face painted again.  We were at home so I told him that maybe next time we go to a carnival again, he can have his face painted.  I went downstairs to do some work and I could hear some shuffling and rustling upstairs.  I decided I better check out what was going on.  Lincoln had got into his water colors and decided to paint his own face!  Doesn't he look great?

Staheli Farm and Pumpkin Patch

 At the beginning of October, we took Lincoln to Staheli Farm to play and pick a pumpkin.  That is such a fun place to go in the early Fall.  We love their playground made from tires, pipes, etc.  Lincoln loves to play in the huge bed of corn.

 These tire swings are really fun too.  They go around and around.

 Lincoln was really looking forward to going on the hay ride to pick a pumpkin in the pumpkin patch.

 There were so many pumpkins to choose from.

 We finally picked the perfect pumpkin and headed back to the farm to enjoy some more fun activities.

 They have this huge thing called a jumping pillow.  It's way fun!  Lincoln definitely wore himself out jumping on it.

We had a great time at the farm.  We will have to go again next year.

 A while ago we had a crazy storm come through our little town.  It started out as a pretty good rain.  I love driving in the rain, so I convinced David to take Lincoln and me on a little ride in the car.  He agreed.  We were driving down state street in La Verkin.  Suddenly, by the elementary school the rain started coming down so hard that we could not see anything at all except for water rushing down the gutters and the road.  I was a tiny bit afraid that we would be swept away in David's little car.  Soon after that, the rain was hitting our car so hard that we couldn't hear anything either.  The sound was so loud!  David quickly pulled into a small gas station so that we could have shelter under the gas pump covers. 

Before we knew it, rain was no longer falling from the sky.  It was hail!  The hail was coming down so hard and fast that it was bouncing all over the sidewalks and roads.  We stayed under the cover for about 5 minutes before things cleared up so we could safely drive back home. 

When we got home, we found a big pile of hail right next to our garage doors.  Lincoln thought it was so cool.  He was having a great time.  My heart was still beating a little faster than normal.  I admit, I was a little freaked out.

Sleep Tight

Lincoln loves to sleep with big blankets shoved up his shirt.  He takes his blanket and stuffs it up his shirt as far and as tight as it can go after David and I leave the room for the night.  We think it's so funny that we had to take a picture.  He actually sleeps really well even with this huge bulge.
