Patch-O-Punkins

Have I mentioned I love the fall?? The cider,the pumpkins, the leaves, the smells... ohhh all of it. We had a wonderful fall weekend. The weather has been absolutley amazing. On saturday we went to the big red barn in Santaquin and took a little hay ride to pick out some pumpkins. It was actually hot! I was in jeans and a sweater and a BLACK shirt. By the end of the ride, I had my sweater around my waist, my pants pulled up and my sleeves pulled up. It was warm! We also were able to have Daxton visit wich always makes for some fun activities. Mikey and Dax are starting to be pretty good friends and it's so fun to watch them together. Mike runs around the house saying "Dax? Dax?" And pointing to his picture on the fridge. It's so cute.

Let the choosing commence!




This one didn't quite make the cut





So many choices so little time.....






Chan's choice. The eyes are already indented.







Dax didn't care. All he knew was there was a huge field and lots of orange balls to play with.








Sometimes you have to hunt your prey before you get to take it home.




















Chad's choice.

I looove the fall!!

This last week was so fun. I'm just like everyone else where I love the changing of the seasons and all of the fall decor comes out. Last week we went to Gardner Village with Chad's law school buddy and his family and our neighbors. It was so much fun to see all of the witches. Grace loves them! Mike... not so much. Gracie wants to be a witch for halloween so she had fun getting lot's of costume ideas. Then on Friday the kids and I decided to drive to Kanab on a whim and visit the family. We had so much fun but now I have to get back to crazy life!!
I'm not sure why this pic is on here twice, but these witches are two of my favorite. They are so cute!


Gracie and mamma


Mikey and "dadda"



Mike was scared to death. In fact, He is sitting on my lap right now pointing at this pic saying " noooo noooo!"





Gracie bought a witch hat and she was so proud to stand by the "real" witches












Gracie and Megan





Our wonderful neighbors the Gardners


We love to take drives in the fall









I recently got a new calling in church and I am always on the phone writing things in my planner. I wonder where she gets it?










Mikey and Granpa rog







My mom has these silly glasses that the kids just love
















We went to Grandpa Bobs ranch and he let us take the kids for a little horse ride. Mikey LOVED it. He wasn't scared at all!!




Gracie and Anna feeding chickens











Uncle Clayton and Mike had on matching shirts. They looked so cute.









Mikey kept climbing up on the feed trailer so he could feed the horses. He had his whole hand in their mouths at one point

Lex didn't even make it to midnight poor thing
Yep. I put it on... Sorry Liz. That's what you get for playing with my camera!!



Teeth












So yesterday we went shooting up the canyon, and the funniest thing about these pictures is Chad forgot his sweater so I gave him mine. I think it looks pretty good :)

Streeeeetch it out.......


So when Chan got off his first shot I saw a little white butt get up and take off, there was  a buck sleeping on the hill and we probably scared it to death.. It was way far away so you can hardly see it in the pics, but look closely!







So if you ask anyone I talk to on the phone on a regular basis if Mikey is vocal, they will tell you how every time I get on the phone he screams at the top of his lungs. Not cry scream, like scream like a girl scream. Yesterday, I decided to get him in action..
