Hay Ride to a Pumpkin Patch then a Petting Zoo and Slides!

 My friend, Laura, invited us to go to a pumpkin patch with her and her daughter, June, and we had a blast!

 The place is called Butler's Orchard so they gave out a free apple to everyone. Judah loved his apple.

What a fun pumpkin patch! They loved all the pumpkins!

 Of course I turn around for a second and Judah's trying to shove an entire pumpkin into his mouth!

 June got to take a ride in the wheelbarrow. And then Judah joined her, aren't they cute?!?

 I forgot to bring a hat for Judah and it was starting to get really chilly so I made due with my scarf.

 So cute!

Judah loved the slides, he kept crawling over there for more!

 

Disclaimer: towards the end of the video it looks as if I am kicking my son, well I guess I kind of am, but more like giving him a shove lovingly with my foot. Trust me he was enjoying it. He LOVED sliding down the slide. 

A Trip to the National Mall

 The White House

 The Washington Monument

 He walks really well while holding onto something but still prefers to crawl most of the time.

 Our attempt to take a family picture

 Oh hello :)

Family Pictures at the DC Temple

All of Jon's siblings took family pictures in front of their nearest temple for his dad's birthday. We are so lucky that our temple is next door to our church building so we just walked over after church one Sunday, but it was a little too bright outside.

There's the Judah stare. We had to try to balance our camera on a bag and use the timer to get us all in. Here we are trying to set up the shot. Obviously Judah was caught off guard.

 I'm pretty sure we used one of these for Jon's dad.

 These two boys make me so happy!

 Judah is about 14 months old now and starting to take steps and standing really well. He still gets around faster crawling though. 

I'm so happy that we are an eternal family!
