November (Movember) Fun

Family night hike up Ensign Peak

Mama's little helper.  He came up with the apron on his own.

Spencer idolizes our cute neighbor boy who plays on a "real football team"  He is nice enough to walk with Spencer to the bus and play football with him for hours.  I couldn't have hoped for a better role model.  Owen just tries his best to be involved.

Cheese!

Hours of fun in the snow.

I dislike Movember but tried to be supportive.  Gross.

We're a little bit country

I guess this is what we get for going rural...

 The wind was blowing these bad boys into our front yard all day.  I went out three different times to throw the tumble weeds over our back fence into the field behind us.  By the time Scott got home I had given up so he went to throw some over and found this mound had collected in the back and he joined me in giving up.  The next morning the wind stopped but the snow had come in.  Scott said there we over 50 of them when he stopped counting.

Halloween 2012

We hope everyone had a Happy Halloween.  This is what ours looked like.

What are you going be on Halloween night? 

A Pirate

or a chicken

or a dog?

 What are you going to be?  Don't tell me.  Wait til Halloween and let me guess.

It was such a treat to spend Halloween in our new neighborhood.  Scott took the boys out while Anna and I handed out candy.  Owen was done after about an hour and then Spencer and Scott really pounded the pavement and brought home way too much candy.  Now what do I do with it all?

The Pumpkin Patch and Fish Pond

Now when we "come into town" we usually end up packing as much into a day as we can. On this particular Saturday we started by hitting the pumpkin patch.  How cool is it to live in a place where you pick your pumpkins with the temple in the background.  

Score!

Next we were off to the annual Miller Family fish pond party.  Since Anna needed to be fed right when the kids were in costume and doing the fish pond it went unphotographed...shame.  These beauties happened a little later.  What a fun tradition.

Then we finished the day at Ikea where we spent way too much money and it was time to head for home.

Smile

There is nothing more sweet than those new baby smiles. Except maybe listening to my boys talk in baby talk to try and get her to do it.
