Bi-Zi Farm & Pumpkin Patch
This place was much more than just a pumpkin patch. We paid an $8.00 entrance fee but we thought it was well worth it because that included a hayride, a pumpkin, 2 tries each at the pumpkin launch, the corn maze, a cup of hot cocoa, a hay pyramid, a childsize hay maze, a petting zoo, and live music. We had soooo much fun! It was cold at first but we bundled up and had a blast.
Craig & Jace
Like Father Like Son :)
Brooke
Brrr . . .it's cold out here.
This is the pumpkin launch . .
. .we each got 2 tries. The point is to launch your pumpkin into the white barrels. If you actually got it in then you would win a prize.
We didn't see anyone make it in the barrels while we were there . . .
. .that is until I had my turn! :) I was quite proud of myself . .everyone started clapping and cheering . .and I thought . .hmm . .I have a hidden talent - PUMPKIN LAUNCHING! Jace was jumping up and down and saying "my mommy won the prize, my mommy won the prize".
THE ULTIMATE PUMPKIN LAUNCHER
I was very proud to show off the new scarecrow that I won! :)
After the pumpkin launch we took a hayride over to the pumpkin patch.
Jace was very excited to look for his perfect pumpkin!
We packed the kids into a wheelbarrow . .
. .and started looking!
These ones were good . .
. . .but not quite up to Jace's expectations. :(
Daddy was very patient while we examined pumpkin after pumpkin . .
. .I think we walked through the entire patch . .but Jace didn't slow down for a second. He was very picky.
Then - all the sudden - one pumpkin stood above the rest . .
. .and Jace instantly knew it was the one for him! He liked it because it had a little mark on it that looked like a J for Jace.
We had two very happy campers!
We loaded all of our pumpkins into the wheelbarrow . .
. .and daddy had to push it ALL the way back to the beginning of the patch so we could hitch a ride back to the farm on the hayride.
We found a Daddy pumpkin, a Mommy pumpkin, a Jace pumpkin, and a little Brookie Pumpkin so all in all the pumpkin search was a success!
Some of the other activities we enjoyed . .while at the Bi-Zi Farm.
We ended the day with Jace's Pony Ride . .he did it all by himself.
What a handsome boy!
We would highly recommend the Bi-Zi Farm & Pumpkin Patch in Vancouver WA to anyone in the area!

October Days
daddy's girl!
We are having a wonderful October . .so far (knock on wood). This weekend we spent the day at Lacamas Lake Park and had a blast. I love Fall! The crisp air outside, the changing of the leaves, it just smells different and wonderful.
On our way to the park we decided to try this new place for lunch . .Lou's Barbecue. Craig had said that one of his co-workers suggested it but when we pulled up it looked kind of dumpy. Well, I'll try anything once . .and Craig's motto is that sometimes the best food comes in dumpy rundown places. It was awesome. I had a barbecue brisket sandwich w/ sweet potato fries and Craig had a prime rib sandwich w/ potato salad. AMAZING!! If you're ever in the area up here you should definitely try Lou's Barbecue. Everything was soooo delicious. We love barbecue though and I don't know what it is about sweet potato fries but I think they are awesome. I first tried them at a vacation we had in Park City, UT at the Marriott Restaurant and I have loved them ever since. Anyways . . I miss the colors of fall in UT but it's pretty here too. It just changes gradually where in northern Ut you have like 3 weeks of amazing views and colors and then it's gone and it's snowing. I'm getting used to the rain. I just bought the kids slickers and send them in the back yard anyways. It mostly just mists though - not a ton of heavy rain. Jace likes to carry around his bob the builder umbrella just in case though.
Brooke Michelle Brammer . .
. . .just happy to be alive!
Mommy me . .
. .enjoying a day at the park.
Sooo . .the other day I knew the kids were up to something because it was too quiet . .and any parent knows when it is tooo quiet something not so good is happening. I found Jace and Brooke in my bathroom. Brooke was in the cabinet under the sink throwing femanine products out all over the floor and when she turned her face I saw that she had pen marks all over her face. I turned around to see Jace with that I didn't do anything look on his face but with the guilty pen in his hand. My poor little Brookie . .she has to put up with a lot being the little sister.
Brooke up to mischief again . .
. .she loves to climb into my bathroom cabinet and throw all the feminine products all over the floor.
All marked up :(
Yes this is Jace's handy work.
What are looking at . .it wasn't me . .I promise . .
The guilty one - he may look innocent but he's full of mischief! :)
Craig is super busy at work because of the crazy economy but still manages to leave the stress at work and just be a good daddy and husband when he gets home.
I am busy with all the mommy and wife duties . . givin' my cuties lots of mommy kisses,cleaning, laundry, cooking, trying to get exercise, and of course a constant entertainer. I did get called to be the Activity Days Leader in our ward so I'm really excited about that! Mostly we're pretty boring though. Until later . .have a good one.
Oct 9, 2008
. .from the beginning . .I guess?
So, I thought the beginning should be a good place to start! Craig and I met at Dixie State College back in August of 2002.
He happened to live in the apartment above mine at the Dixie South Apartments (just south of the football field) and he was the cute older guy that just kept coming around.
We got engaged on Feb. 15, 2003 . . a day after Valentines Day and a day before my 19th birthday!
I said yes, and we were married on June 6, 2003 in the Bountiful Temple. We went to Cabo San Lucas on our honeymoon and it was awesome! . .
Lovers Beach in Cabo San Lucas June 2003 - so cool it has 2 beaches - the pacific ocean and the sea of cortez . .you have to get there by water taxi but it's well worth it!
<
Afiesta at the resort we stayed at . .it was lots of fun! We ordered lots of tropical drinks like pina colodas & margaritas . .virgin of course, but I forgot to mention that I didn't want any alcohol in mine so Craig told the waiter that mine needed to be virgin and the waiter got mad at Craig and was like "let the lady order what she wants". I was totally embarressed but we had a great time!
. .We have been trying to get back there but it hasn't happened yet. We spent our first year of newlywed bliss in St. George . . .
Boating in St. George . .I MISS boating! :(
Our first Christmas married! :)
Our first camping trip together at Monte Cristo.
. . then we headed up to Bountiful Utah for our second year. We both were taking classes from the University of Utah . .Craig full time and me part time. Although Craig will kill me if I don't add in that he went to the U but he's . .we are big BYU fans!
First BYU game together! I even painted my face :)
Craig to the extreme . .we are even planning our family vacation this yr. around if BYU makes it to a bowl game. Anyways . .Craig was also working at America First Credit Union and I was a Vacation Planning Counselor full time for Marriott Vacation Club International. That was an awesome job! When we found out that I was expecting our first baby we moved out of our 1bed apt. in Bountiful and found a house to rent in Centerville Utah. We moved in when I was 8 months pregnant - NOT fun - but I was excited to have something that seemed like ours even though we were still renting. We called it the little blue house and we had some awesome memories there! . . .
. . I had a horrible first pregnancy. Why they call it morning sickness - I'll never know - more like all day sickness and for me it lasted the whole 9 months . .I was even barfing as I was pushing. Now that I've totally grossed you out: Our little Jace Craig Brammer was born on July 25, 2005. . .
Sweet baby boy . .7lb. 11oz. 21inches long
It was quite funny because it happened to be a Mon. and the big 24th of July parade was held that day so we had a horrible time trying to get through the traffic to the hospital. I thought Craig was going to have a nervous breakdown . .can you say road rage! One time the guy in front of us let like 5 cars go past and we were stuck behind him - Craig got out of the car and was swearing but we finally made it to the hospital. I cried when they handed me my little boy for the first time - it was so special - no words can describe the feelings! Craig finished his degree at the U ( again he is a BYU fan though) in Economics w/ a minor in Finance and Spanish. YEAH!! . .
Craig's Graduation Day Hip Hip Hooray!!!
. . We were so excited to start a new chapter of our lives. He got a job with Fidelity Investments in Salt Lake City and I quit my job w/ Marriott. When we found out we were pregnant with our little Brookie - we were a little surprised considering the fact that I was on BC but she's been the best surprise ever! . .
Sweet baby girl! 7lb.3oz. 19inches long
. . She is my little angel. Brooke Michelle Brammer was born on August 13, 2007. During that time we moved to Farmington for a short time then back to Centerville to take care of his parents home. I have had my fair share of moves!
We've had some good times and some interesting ones but mostly we've just enjoyed the ride on the road that is our lives!
Here are some of the good ones:
Rosarito Mexico :) March 2006
Making smores at Mueller Park in Bountiful.
Jace's 1st Birthday!
Stadium of Fire at the Lavell Edwards Stadium . .we got to be in the field and afterwards Craig was so excited that he got to feel the same grass that the BYU Football team plays on. I just laughed!
HOLIDAYS!!
Visiting family in Hurricane Utah.
Lagoon July 08
Birthdays!!
I hope that sums up our lives for the past 5 yrs since we met. It's crazy that we have been married for 5 yrs! I love my husband so much!
Our 5 yr. anniversary . .this is at the Roof Restaurant over looking the SLC Temple.
Have a good one!
He happened to live in the apartment above mine at the Dixie South Apartments (just south of the football field) and he was the cute older guy that just kept coming around.
We got engaged on Feb. 15, 2003 . . a day after Valentines Day and a day before my 19th birthday!
I said yes, and we were married on June 6, 2003 in the Bountiful Temple. We went to Cabo San Lucas on our honeymoon and it was awesome! . .
Lovers Beach in Cabo San Lucas June 2003 - so cool it has 2 beaches - the pacific ocean and the sea of cortez . .you have to get there by water taxi but it's well worth it!
<Afiesta at the resort we stayed at . .it was lots of fun! We ordered lots of tropical drinks like pina colodas & margaritas . .virgin of course, but I forgot to mention that I didn't want any alcohol in mine so Craig told the waiter that mine needed to be virgin and the waiter got mad at Craig and was like "let the lady order what she wants". I was totally embarressed but we had a great time!
. .We have been trying to get back there but it hasn't happened yet. We spent our first year of newlywed bliss in St. George . . .
Boating in St. George . .I MISS boating! :(
Our first Christmas married! :)
Our first camping trip together at Monte Cristo.. . then we headed up to Bountiful Utah for our second year. We both were taking classes from the University of Utah . .Craig full time and me part time. Although Craig will kill me if I don't add in that he went to the U but he's . .we are big BYU fans!
First BYU game together! I even painted my face :)
Craig to the extreme . .we are even planning our family vacation this yr. around if BYU makes it to a bowl game. Anyways . .Craig was also working at America First Credit Union and I was a Vacation Planning Counselor full time for Marriott Vacation Club International. That was an awesome job! When we found out that I was expecting our first baby we moved out of our 1bed apt. in Bountiful and found a house to rent in Centerville Utah. We moved in when I was 8 months pregnant - NOT fun - but I was excited to have something that seemed like ours even though we were still renting. We called it the little blue house and we had some awesome memories there! . . .
. . I had a horrible first pregnancy. Why they call it morning sickness - I'll never know - more like all day sickness and for me it lasted the whole 9 months . .I was even barfing as I was pushing. Now that I've totally grossed you out: Our little Jace Craig Brammer was born on July 25, 2005. . .
Sweet baby boy . .7lb. 11oz. 21inches long
It was quite funny because it happened to be a Mon. and the big 24th of July parade was held that day so we had a horrible time trying to get through the traffic to the hospital. I thought Craig was going to have a nervous breakdown . .can you say road rage! One time the guy in front of us let like 5 cars go past and we were stuck behind him - Craig got out of the car and was swearing but we finally made it to the hospital. I cried when they handed me my little boy for the first time - it was so special - no words can describe the feelings! Craig finished his degree at the U ( again he is a BYU fan though) in Economics w/ a minor in Finance and Spanish. YEAH!! . .
Craig's Graduation Day Hip Hip Hooray!!!
. . We were so excited to start a new chapter of our lives. He got a job with Fidelity Investments in Salt Lake City and I quit my job w/ Marriott. When we found out we were pregnant with our little Brookie - we were a little surprised considering the fact that I was on BC but she's been the best surprise ever! . .
