Halloween Happenings

We made our annual trip to Mabey’s Pumpkin Patch!!  The kids love getting to pick out their own pumpkins, which seem to get bigger each year.

Decorating Time

Daddy’s

Mommy’s

Dylan’s

Avery’s

We also went to Gardener Village, to do the Which Witch is Which, Witch Hunt. Dylan wasn’t feeling very festive that day!

The kids got to dress up for the ward Halloween party, their school parades and, of course, trick-or-treating.  They got an obscene amount of candy!  Avery is a mermaid and Dylan is a Red Power Ranger Samurai.

Fun Days at School

Earlier in the school year, Truman Elementary had Silly Sock Day and Crazy Hair Day.  Dylan loved participating and looked forward to both days!!  I love that his idea of Silly Socks was one black church sock and one regular sock!

Smores

We had YUMMY, MESSY smores the other night…just because!

Soccer, Fall 2012

These pictures are from their second game of the season.  I forgot my camera the first game and while I used my phone, I still don’t know how to get my pictures from my phone to my computer to blog them.  I will learn… someday!!

Practicing with Daddy.

Harvesting the Garden

Corn has by far been my favorite thing from the garden.  We had a lot and even got to share some with our friends, the Wells, one evening for dinner.  Yummy!

We didn’t thin out our carrots enough, so we had some, but they weren’t very big.  Our tomatoes are finally growing, thus far we’ve had only one…quite small, but tasty!  Also, broccoli.  I don’t know if we did something wrong, but for the size of the plants, they didn’t yield a whole lot.  What we did get was good though!

I am glad we decided to have a garden.  We learned a lot and will have more success next year.  I am looking forward to it!
