A little bit of this, A little bit of that...

It's that time of year again when we put the summer toys away for the winter and this year was no exception. Ryan just happened to find the kids in the back yard when it was time to put things away. Last week was Adam's Patriotic Program at school. He's been busy learning and singing the songs. It was a nice program!

And last, but not least, the kids have been loving getting ready for Halloween. Adam designed and put together this spooky Haunted House.

Then we got busy carving pumpkins. The kids were very excited about carving pumpkins, until it was time to clean them out; none of them wanted any part of that. Ryan and I ended up doing most of the work while the kids ran around, checking on us occasionally and saying, "Good job!" "It looks good." "That's not how I wanted it...oh, that's better." But overall, I think they turned out good and the kids were excited about it.

Harvest Party

This year, the grand kids that live in the area planted their own pumpkins at Grandma's & Grandpa's. We ended up with 39 pumpkins from 6 pumpkin hills! The kids were thrilled all season to watch their own pumpkins grow. Grandma and Grandpa had a Harvest Party where we decorated Halloween cookies, picked our pumpkins, went for a hay ride and ate lots of fun treats. The kids had a great time and can't wait to start carving their pumpkins!

Weekend with the Raymond's

We had a great weekend with my parents along with my brother, Ryan and his family coming into town. We had a great time at the park, eating a wonderful dinner, having yummy treats, watching the BSU game and having my parents come to the kids' Primary Program! It was fun to spend time with each other! Here's some pictures of us going to Linder Farms on Saturday. It was beautiful out and the kids had a lot of fun with their cousins!
