Corn Maze 2015

I'm so glad that it's October! Fall is finally here, and it is my absolute favorite season! Everything about it and add in a couple birthdays and it's perfect. One of our favorite fall traditions is going to the corn maze! What's even better is being able to take Daxton to his first one! I don't think he loved it but he did pretty good and I can't wait until he is running around them! And of course they are always a lot of fun with friends! They also had a petting zoo but Dax did NOT like that. We stuck his hand in to touch a sheep and it was back out as fast as possible! I hope everyone is enjoying their fall season! We are starting to plan our Halloween costumes and I'm super excited!

The last month

Get ready for photo overload! I've got a month worth of pictures to share. Now that we are finally getting into somewhat of a schedule, maybe I'll post more than once a month! We had so much fun being home for a month! I don't think I have played that much during a summer in a very long time! It was basically no work and all play :).

We made the 1000+ mile drive to Ozark, MO. Not the funnest. Daxton got sick but was still incredibly happy the entire drive until the last 30 minutes, then he basically lost it. We got all moved in then we all got sick except Sam. How he escaped it I don't know but I guess it was a good time for it since it was the only day we didn't have any plans.

Since the move we have been unpacking, organizing the house, exploring, and getting to know people. I still have a ton to do but it will get done eventually. Sam officially starts school tomorrow, it's crazy! Only two years and four months to go! Haha I'm sure it will fly by but right now it seems like forever. Anyways, here are some of the pictures of what we've been up to.

What the boys do when mom is gone!

Daxton's first time fishing. The first time we showed him the fish he slapped it! Cracked me up but later he was trying to lick them so I think his opinion improved :)

We gave Daxton his first french fry. He is definitely our child because he loved it!

His little face kills me! Pure happiness!

Now for the real thing :)

Exploring Springfield

This place is going to be so beautiful in the fall!

GRAD SCHOOL!

Sam graduated UVU last December. Since then he has been applying for graduate schools to become an Occupational Therapist. It has been a very long wait. I think he started the whole process last summer. We didn't think we would hear until the beginning of May so when Sam got the phone call early we were so so happy! It has been hard not knowing where we will be living the next year and not knowing where our life is going. Finally being able to know and plan is really exciting. 

We will be moving 1,250 miles away to Springfield, Missouri. The school starts August 17th (which just happens to be Sams 26th birthday). We will be moving there sometime the end of July beginning of August and be there for at least 2 1/2 years.

I'm really excited and nervous at the same time! There are a lot of cool things to see back there and we will love exploring. Being so far from family will definitely be hard though. I am very close to my family and love spending as much time with them as possible so I just have to trust that Heavenly Father knows best. But we will be making as many trips as financially possible!

We did a lot of researching over the weekend but did get out to enjoy the wonderful spring weather. It was really funny because for a while Dax was totally freaked out by the plants and flowers. If he got too close to them or even looked at them he would freak out!
