Fun in the Fall

Autumn is one of our most favorite times of the year,

mostly because of all the fun things we get to do together.

This year we decided to try out the Corn Maze and it was a hit!

And off they go...

The kids had a blast finding animal tracks,

Train Riding,

Pedal Cars,

Horse Races,

Petting Farm,

Bouncy Pad,

and of course endless picture taking

We also went to our traditional pumpkin patch

to see how the kids measure up...

and to pick out our pumpkins...

And then to "kill the pumpkins" as Carter puts it :)

The finished product- a ghost, a bat, and

Jack the pumpkin King!

Liz and Josh also had a "no-carving" pumpkin contest

at school and won 1st place for scariest. They

were pretty proud!

We had a great time at the trunk-or-treat party as...

Elizabeth Swan...

Bumblebee...

And after changing his mind a bazillion times,

a JEDI!!!!

And of course trick-or treating with the fam

Liz and baby Kacey

and our beautiful Brinley

Carter started out as Elmo, then ended up

roasting and itchy, and looking like this by

the time the night was over!

Liz had a Halloween piano performance at the Mall.

What a cute DOLL!!!!

Our Trip to BLANDING (finally posted!)

We had such a great time at Grandma and Grandpa Nielson's,

playing outside, water fights, 4-wheeling, riding horses, swimming,

yummy food, fun cousins, hiking, exploring, sleeping under

the stars, roasting marshmallows, playing volleyball,

late movie nights, lazy mornings, walks to the ice cream shop,

24th parade, fireworks and so much more. We love going to

Blanding and were so glad to spend such a great vacation with

such amazing family!

Hot FUN in the SUMMERTIME
