Pumpkins

The leaves are changing colors and are all over the ground. The is a chill in the air. It must be the start of Autumn. Today for for family home evening we were able to get all the men/boys in the house hair trimmed at a real barber shop. Then we went to go and pick out some great pumpkins for our Halloween fun. We have one run which I am sure most houses have. You have to be able to carry your own pumpkin. So this is the kids and their pumpkins. Madison with her pumpkin weighing in at 7.6 lbs

Marcus with his pumpkin weighing in at 11.6 lbs

Mason's cute and fun, weighed in at 5.54 lbs. Yes Madison's was more but he liked this one. Mason helps us realize that size is not everything.

Miles to it to heart. He wanted the biggest possible one he could find. So He left with one weighing in at 19.08 lbs. What a haul. Yes he can carry it. They had fun and can not wait to carve them. Now mom and dad are not so sure about the carving, but the kids are. We are currently looking for stand in parents for Sunday afternoon, as this kinda sickens mom and dad out a little bit. May we all be so blessed and have a great Halloween.

Week in review

What a fun and wonderful week our family had all things considered. This is a picture of Madison Teaching Primary to her stuffed animals. Miles had his first basketball game. He did great. I took some pictures but they were all blury. He did great. He scored 4 of the 7 points for his team. Yes they won 7 to 4. It was great. he is really getting a hang of the game.

We were able to spend 2 days at Jim's mom house this week. We came down to let Jim do some hunting with the kids. They had fun hunting with daddy. They looked so cute with their orange vest on. I forgot the camera so no pics :(.

This is Madison all dressed up in her cute attire. She loves going to grandma's house. The kids had fun playing with their 2nd cousins and going "hunting" with daddy. Plus it was fun to get to ride in daddy's new truck.

We did not have any luck finding an Elk, but they did find some deer. They joked that the deer were waving saying ha ha it is not our turn to run now. Go Elk Go.

We may not have seen any Elk on our trip but we were able to see the latest in babies that will call me Great Aunt. Yes that is right to all who did not know, I am a great Aunt. This is Graycee Rose. She is so adorable. She can make anyone baby hungry. Congrats Clinit and Chelsie. All in all it was a great week to be in our family. My mom had sugary and is doing as good as can be expected. We went on a small trip to grandmas and all are still well and breathing. Can't wait to see what next week brings :) only time will tell.
