Fall Fun

I love fall in Alaska and the beautiful colors and activities it brings! We have had a fun month and Hayden has been enjoying the last few days of being outside without having to be bundled up!

Hayden and Tucker have had fun playing with the fall decorations...those two are trouble! Hayden throws my fake pumpkin off the porch and Tucker chases it and brings it back to him!!

Chris has been working down in Ft. Greely for the past few weeks and so we have been trying to pass time without missing him too much....it's been pretty hard! He has a few more weeks of working down there, but we luckily get to see him on Sunday's.

We are ready for winter, all of the wood is cut, split, and stacked thanks to Chris's little brother, Tyler. It was really nice to have it all taken care of and for Chris to not have to worry about it.

We were able to make one last trip up to the cabin a few weeks ago, and had an amazing time. It was so nice to get out to town and to have a fun relaxing weekend.

We were able to fire up the hot tub and Chris was able to see all of the progress we have made with Hayden's swim classes. We have been going two days a week to a mom and tot class, and it has been so much fun. Hayden loves the water, and has learned to kick and move his arms. It has been a great activity for us to do together and hopefully we will get Hayden comfortable with the water for next summer!

One of the great things about the cabin is the four wheeler, which Hayden and Chris love to ride! They had a blast going all throughout the woods and down on the riverbanks.

Fall brings the fair, and it was a lot more fun with a kid!

Chris took Hayden on the go karts and it was hard to tell who had more fun!

The petting zoo was awesome and Hayden couldn't stop chasing around the goats. They ate his shirt and he thought that was hilarious! We had fun walking around with my dad and enjoyed the best part of the fair, people watching!!!
We head to Anchorage on Sunday to meet with the immunologist for three days of testing. Please say a little prayer for us, we hope that they will find some answers for our little guy and get him feeling better.
