The Corn Maze

So one of the more fun parts of the farm was the corn maze. It was six acres and a little intimidating. When we first went in Nate said, "I'll let you pick which direction we go because I think I would get us out of here in 10 minutes." I got us to the middle of the maze, and told him that he needed to get us out...a half an hour later we were still lost...some sense of direction Mr. Confident. Luckily, it wasn't one of the ones where people jump out at you, so we still had a great time.

Nate and Reid with a little belly hanging out.

A great picture of Reid and I. Except for the corn in my face...

This one is a little better, but getting Reid to look in the direction of the camera when there are so many fun things to eat is a big job...

In the middle of the maze there was this big slide, which didn't look too intimidating from the ground, so I let Nate take Reid.

Then I got to the top and realized how STEEP it was and I felt like a really bad mom. As you can see from this picture, I am flying low here.

Playing in the hay.

Trying to eat the hay.

Reid in "The Corn Box" I think this video is funny just because Nate COULD NOT keep Reid from eating the corn, so this excursion lasted only slightly longer than this video.

Reid takes his own little ride at the bottom of the slide. Go Reid go.

The Chicken Train (and other funtivities)

Reid and I on the Chicken Train. That's right. I'm in a cart shaped like a chicken and pulled by a tractor. It was amazing.

Chicken Train again.

Reid on the hay ride. If you know Reid at all, you know that it is nearly impossible to keep him from putting things in his mouth. Here he is with an endless supply of hay. You can imagine how well I was listening to the tour guide and checking out the scene on this ride. (For those of you that haven't had the pleasure of meeting our handsome young man, the answer to the question regarding how much I saw of the hay ride is; not much. I was constantly pulling hay out of Reid's hands and mouth.)

Reid and dad going down a slide made of PVC pipe. I think Nate had more fun than Reid.

And here we are in action on the chicken train. It wasn't really that exciting, but for some reason the picture is blurry, and the sound of the tractor in the background makes this seem like an old home movie.

Mom's Big Helper

So, I had to post all of these because they are just so cute. Our laundry is downstairs, and it is very difficult to carry Reid and a laundry basket upstairs at the same time. My solution? Put Reid in the basket first, and pack all of the clean clothes around him. He loves it! Nate wasn't even standing behind me when I took this picture, Reid is actually having a good time. He even put that sock on his head all by himself. Ok, I put the sock on his head, but HE left it there.

Bath Time!

Reid loves to carry this duck around the bathtub like a little puppy dog.

arf!

Here is another one of his puppy dog qualities...I have no idea why he's doing this, or what he thinks he will find . Maybe he buried a binki in the bathtub while I wasn't looking.............

Reid Is So Popular It's Not Even Funny

This is Reid and his new buddy, Grant. Reid has been making friends at a church play group we have started to attend. Yesterday we went to a place called Discovery Gardens which is kind of like a fancy park. Reid actually had a really good time, and it was so fun to see him with so many other kids around his age. He proceeded to make friends by, taking other kid's binkis and putting them in his own mouth, crawling all over them, and laying on their blankets. Not unlike the way Nate and I make friends...

Reid and I in "The Bear Cave"

We stopped on this grassy hill, so I let Reid roam free. It was hilarious because he would crawl all the way up the hill, and when he tried to come back down he would trip and roll. He's not really used to crawling on a slope. I can tell you this though, he loved me letting him crawl wherever he wanted, he was so busy that this is the only shot I could get of him. Needless to say, he slept the whole ride home.

Reid Makes Big Messes....

Reid just loves those frozen berries, and I just love that I have have coupons for Oxyclean. If you look close, you can see his bottom teeth poking out. The top ones are almost in as well.


I love this picture...doesn't he look like a sweet little praying angel. Well, you should have seen the mess this little angel made.



Like I said in an earlier post, Reid just thinks his dad is hilarious even when Nate has been at school since 7:00am and is exhausted. Can't you just see the lack of sleep on poor Nate's face? He has been working so hard in school and at work. Reid and I are sooooo proud of him!

Horray For Family!

So this past week Nate's parents and our Niece Crystal came for a visit. We had so much fun! I think Reid had the best time though because he got so much attention. Now that they have left he is going through some serious withdrawals. We spent three days In Salt Lake City, did a lot of shopping, and ate way too much food. Yep, that's pretty much the format of the best vacation ever. Especially the food part. yum.
