Lucy's favorite dance moves-- which kind of look like she's doing the polka. Awesome. Lucy started Ballet, the same day she started preschool! Ah! I can't even begin to describe how excited she was to go. All she ever wants to do is, "dance and sing on a stage!". Seriously. Who's daughter is she anyway? She is going to the   Institute of Dance & Ballet Theatre by  Rinat  Mouzafarov.   She is absolutely loving it, and cute cute Mr. Rinat is so amazing with these little girls. He is straight out of Russia, and has a pretty phenomenal resume, I must say!  And don't worry- when my mom was here she bought her a leotard that doesn't give her a major wedgie, and some tights!  Lucy's friends in her class- Skye, Ruby, and Ashlyn. and a BUNCH of other randoms from my phone during the last month.... Lucy has really gotten into taking pictures of me.... She almost took one of me in the tub this morning. Awesome.  Lunch date wit...

 Tyler and Porter at the San Francisco 49ers vs Detroit Lions game! So, Tyler's boss has season tickets to the 49ers, and to make a long story short, Tyler's favorite team since he was little are the Detroit Lions, and he knew they played each other this year, so he somehow sweet talked his way into getting Luke's tickets! My mom was already coming up here this weekend, and we were already planning on going to Arizona, but it worked out that Porter to go with Tyler to San Fran straight from Phoenix early Sunday morning! I was pretty jealous, but I know Tyler had a LOT more fun with Porter, than he would have with me! I told them they had to take pictures... and this is what I got! eating Lunch in some pub! Their AMAZING seats- row 10, 40 yd line behind the visiting team! and the start of the game! So since I wasn't there, this is pretty much all the info I have. Haha... I know the 49ers won.... ya... I would dare to say the 49ers are Tyler...

 We made a quick trip Tuesday afternoon to Berry Acres here in Minot! I saw this cute pumpkin patch while I was running that morning, and we got lucky that it opened that day! This was seriously the most darling pumpkin patch, and I know we'll be back at least a couple more times before Halloween!  The girls were in HEAVEN. This place was awesome! And I LOVE Autumn!  I love this little face! She is so cute!  Clara was not sure how she felt about this little 'train' ride... haha...   Thanks for taking us Grandma! and the best part? we have two cute little pumpkins as our centerpiece on our table now. AND. We got a half-dozen of the most delicious gingersnap cookies there, and some fabulous fresh heirloom tomatoes! We'll be back...
