Pumpkin Time

Coop had a good time carving out his pumpkins. He enjoyed pulling out the guts and was happy to have a big Y put on his & Daddy's pumpkin.

The finished pumpkins. I decided on a simple Charlie Brown face this year although those little holes and thin lines were not as simple as I thought.

Beat you all at blogging Halloween!

Fred Flinstone (Recognize the costume? Caleb wore it last year.), Clown, Witch, Horse, The Tin Man, Bear (Recognize this one? Dex and Graham both wore it in previous years.), Hermione wearing the invisibility cloak (I'm wearing the same costume in all three pictures)

Grandma was so happy to see us, she willed everything to us because we went to see her today.

There I am again, looking so thin and beautiful.


Love you all and hope you had a fantastic Halloween!!

Hogle Zoo

We have visited several zoos around the country throughout our summer travels but in all my 7 years of living in Utah, this was our first time hitting up the Hogle Zoo. And although we've seen every single one of these animals before, it still amazes me to see them up close and personal again.

Not only was there an adorable new baby elephant but there was also a baby giraffe and 3 new baby tigers. So cute!

And may I add how fun it is to be home in Utah again being able to do all these things with Mindy and kids. It just makes everything doubly fun! (Now if we could only get Misty to move down here...)

Pumpkin Land

I just love the end of the year; how each month culminates with its own exciting holiday. It gives us a myriad of new things to experience and it seems to send the year out with a bang.

This October we headed out to Pumpkin Land which housed a corn maze, bounce house, and of course a pumpkin patch. I got some great pictures of Mindy and her kids but when it came turn for my kids, I think they were all smiled out. Oh well, there’s always Thanksgiving!

And this picture will go in my book of all time favorite pictures of these two. What a pair!
