Isn't he the cutest?!
We had to show them how to fish at Discovery Park, of course. It's our new favorite past time ;)
And we tried Mucha Lucha Taco shop. Maddie had read that their tacos were ranked in the top ten in the nation (who ranked them I couldn't tell you! ha) and they were so good! It's located less than a mile from our house so we are in trouble! haha
I'm loving that David has been wearing his helmet everywhere he goes!
Spencer bought Jack and David bikes while we were in Utah. We had been putting off getting them bikes because it was too cold in Iowa, then too hot in Arizona, plus Jack never seemed interested! The first week David was obsessed with riding his bike and Jack wanted nothing to do with it. Jack is finally getting the hang of it and enjoying it more and it's so funny listening to David encourage his older brother. "Jack! You're getting the hang of it! Good job!" Love those boys :)
Jack's excuse on this day for not riding his bike was that if he rode his bike, then the bunny wouldn't be able to go with us ;)
On Tuesday, we went to Vertuccio Farms with friends. October Break + Toddler Tuesdays = INSANITY. Luckily, we got there early enough that they were able to do everything!
Look at that gorgeous Arizona sky!!!!
Side note: I started running with my friend, Alicia, every Wednesday morning. (She motivates me to get up ridiculously early when I'm tired and don't want to run by myself in the dark.) We always run through the Riparian Preserve and it's gorgeous!
After my run, I took the kids to a park and splash pad with a friend. Here they are at 9:30 am during "fall" break. I forget how HOT it is in Arizona in October!
On Thursday we went to the zoo with a friend. (My parents gave us POGO passes as an early Christmas gift and I'm so excited!) Our favorite part was feeding the sting rays!
On Friday we took a breather and stayed home so I could finally unpack from Sunday! When Spencer got home we went swimming at Lifetime Fitness and went to Mucha Lucha again :)
On Saturday, Spencer and I went out on a sushi date. FYI: Temari in Gilbert has my favorite roll I've ever had- jalepeno apple. Sounds weird, looks weird, but it's seriously the BEST!
On Sunday, we went to church, with a walk at the Riparian in the morning and a walk/bike ride/fishing trip at Discovery Park in the evening. It's still so dang hot during the day but we try to take advantage of the amazing morning and evening weather!
I LOVE the John Deere blanket that my grandma made for Kate. It will help her remember the 14 days she lived in Iowa near John Deere headquarters :)
Kate also started eating solids last week. Feeding baby food to babies is my least favorite activity.
We had a great Fall Break and now I am ready to get back into the swing of things again.

Two random things:
I am enjoying all of the GIRL things after having two boys. I couldn't help but dress Kate up at Old Navy the other day :)
Mother-of-the-year story: David found my pepper spray that I sometimes run with (I had no idea where it was after moving to Arizona) and sprayed it all over our kitchen. I freaked out, but we got out of the kitchen and everything seemed fine... until David rubbed his face. It was pretty traumatic for all of us!

Have you ever considered Baby Led Weaning? We totally skipped baby food with Daniel and went straight to soft solids. I loved it!
