Cornbelly's


Going to Cornbelly's is our family's favorite thing to do in the fall.  That place just gets me excited because once we go there I feel like the holidays are finally coming.  I love this time of year!



This trip was especially fun because Peter was old enough to play and enjoy it as well.  We didn't even bring the stroller in.  He's turning into our little toddler and it's awesome, weird and sad all at the same time.



I love that our favorites are there every year and the boys remember them.  Charlie...that kid has the best and creepiest memory.  He remembers everything.

The boys begged us to ride the mechanical bull.  It was hilarious to watch!  Joey was actually really good.  He raised up one arm and everything.  They have the ride so it increasingly gets harder and harder.  The look in his eye at the end was priceless.  He wanted to stay on so bad and I could tell he was scared but didn't want anyone to know.  I had very to keep yelling, "it's ok!  You're supposed to fall off at the end.  Don't worry!"

Charlie was way more timid.  He would raise one arm for a couple seconds and as stiff as a board the entire time.  I couldn't help but laugh.  He seemed relieved once the ride was over!



We loved the tractor ride.  The boys loved seeing all the different scarecrows out.






These big wooden play sets are one of my favorite parts of Cornbelly's.  They have all different kinds- tractors, cars, houses, etc.  I want one for our backyard!  Since that's practical ;)


Corn Cob Beach is definitely a favorite!  I had to go in to help Peter and was shocked when I sunk in almost to my knee!  I kept my sandals on because I assumed it was ankle deep.  I had fun digging frantically for my shoes since they slipped right off in all that corn....








 Every year Cornbelly's has some little theme and this year "Minions" is the theme.  There are a few minion painted pumpkins, etc and minion characters walking around.  Peter loved them and we could barely get him to leave them alone.

We're excited to go back a lot this October!

BYU Graduate BBQ



We decided we would be involved in graduate activities while Tony is in school.  We went to the graduate student bbq and had a great time!  The event was for families so we got to bring the boys and they were thrilled.  J Dawgs catered, Cosmo was there, balloon artists...we had a great time!

Peter loved the cookies

Joey held his own races and we counted and cheered for him while we ate


Peter is getting so big!  


Charlie and Joey asked for swords from the balloon artist and Peter got a puppy.


I hope our boys will remember going to school events.  We had a great night!
