October Happenings

We've managed to do a lot in the little free time that we've had together lately. It sure makes family time special and enjoyable. I feel like this is the first year that we've been able to really begin making some traditions. I feel like we're doing things on our own for the first time. Perhaps that's because our children are finally old enough to really understand and enjoy what's around them. But it may also be that it's because it's the first year that we've been far enough from family that we HAVE to do our own thing. Either way, it's been good and fun.

We went to the local corn maize and had a blast. For those in northern Utah, this was above and beyond any corn maize that I've ever been to. There was a slide (made from giant irrigation tubing), swings, rope swings, redneck trampoline, hen house for exploration, cow pie toss, roping, a petting zoo, pumpkin patch, kareokee, and a food stand to boot!! To get to the maze you rode a wagon pulled by a tractor or a pair of horses. Fun experiences all in all and we went on half price night which made it that much better. We left out the corn maze altogether and still had a blast!

These pics are so cute! It looks like ya'll had fun carving pumpkins. The kids are getting bigger and bigger. (even though we just saw them they still look older somehow) Love you guys!

That was a really fun video. I liked the music choice. Your daughter has so much personality! She might just be the fire starter in your family... you never know. She went from being extremely mild-mannered to kind of hyper... hahaha
